If one removes the leather socks while in a state of ritual purity, wipes over them, and then puts them back on before his ablution is broken, what is the ruling?

Question : If one had performed the wiping, prayed, and then put them back on before the time limit expired, that would be different.

Answer : One does not wipe over them, because once the item over which one wipes is removed, it is not put back on unless one performs wudu' (ablution); it is necessary. If someone said what I mentioned, if someone said what I mentioned, we would not accept it. If one of the scholars said that if he removes them while in a state of ritual purity, wipes over them, and then puts them back on before his wudu' expires, then it is permissible to wipe over them, if someone said this, then that is my view. It is obligatory. No, if he renews his wudu' before a state of impurity occurs, there is no harm. If he wipes over them while in a state of ritual purity, then removes them, and then puts them back on while still in a state of ritual purity, there is no harm in that.
