Doubt regarding the duration of wiping, removing the sock after ablution, and washing the feet

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: Honorable Shaykh, I performed wudu, wiped, and dried my extremities. Then I doubted the duration of the wiping, so I removed the sock and washed my feet, all of this within two minutes. Is this valid, or must I repeat the wudu?

Answer:
As long as the doubt is close to the time of the wudu, and the water is still on your limbs, and you removed the sock to wash your feet—meaning you doubted the washing of the feet and removed the sock to wash your feet with certainty—there is no harm in that. Washing the feet is sufficient, because the continuity has not been broken. However, if a time has passed after the wudu and you have dried your limbs, then you must repeat the wudu in full if there was any deficiency in it. Yes.
