Rulings on Wiping over Leather Socks

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this person asks: What are the most prominent rulings in our current time, especially in winter, regarding wiping over the leather socks? Because this is hidden from many of the brothers and sisters?

Answer:
Wiping over the leather socks, or whatever serves as their equivalent that covers the legs, is a dispensation from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). It is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in mass-transmitted reports from his words and his actions (peace and blessings be upon him), and the scholars have reached consensus on it. So it is a dispensation from Allah (Mighty and Majestic) to make things easy for the servants, because not wearing the leather socks or whatever warms the legs involves difficulty, and removing them for every ablution involves hardship. And Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) has prescribed for us wiping over the leather socks if one wears them in a state of ritual purity, meaning in a state of ablution, wearing them after complete purity, and if they cover the required area, covering the legs completely.
And it is limited by the duration specified by the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), which is three days for the traveler and one day and one night for the resident. With these conditions, the wiping is valid, and it is a dispensation from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and an expansion from Allah (Mighty and Majestic) for His servants. Yes.
