The Ruling on Wiping Over Socks in Ablution

Question:
May Allah reward you. In another question, you ask: Is it permissible to wipe over socks during ablution? And is it permissible to pray without socks?

Answer:
If the socks cover the place of the obligation, then it is permissible to wipe over them, just as it is permissible to wipe over leather socks, because there is evidence for this from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) . The condition for socks is that they cover the obligatory area, meaning they cover the entire foot, covering the ankles and what is below them. This is the correct view, if Allah wills. And if you wipe over the socks and then take them off afterwards, your ablution becomes invalid. The condition is that the socks remain on until you complete the prayer. Yes.
