The ruling on wearing socks and wiping over them

Question:
The questioner says: I perform wudu for the Fajr prayer, then I put on my socks and wipe over them at the time of the Zuhr prayer. When I return home, I take them off and perform the usual wudu. Is this permissible? May Allah bless you.

Answer:
There is no harm in that. Regarding wearing the khuffayn (leather socks), if he wishes, he may keep them on for a day and a night, and if he wishes, he may take them off whenever he wants, even if he only prays in them once. However, it is better to follow the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). One of the conditions for wiping over the khuffayn is that they must be put on while in a state of ritual purity.
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said this when al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him) wanted to take them off. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Second, they must be covering.
The khuffayn or socks must be covering and thick. There is no harm in small tears, according to the correct opinion. Third, the wiping must be for the specified duration: a day and a night for the resident, and three days and their nights for the traveler. One does not wipe for more than that.
It is necessary that the wiping be on the socks. If the wiping is on the shoe along with the sock, and the shoe is removed, the wudu is invalidated. If he wipes over both, the wudu is invalidated by removing either one. It is important to note that the wiping is only on the top of the foot; it does not need to include the heel or the bottom of the khuff. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to wipe only on the top of the khuffayn. As Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "If religion were based on opinion, the bottom of the khuff would be more deserving of wiping than the top. But I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wiping on the top of his khuffayn." Yes.
