Is it permissible to wipe over perforated socks?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to wipe over a sock that is torn such that the foot is visible through it?
The Shaykh:
No. The condition for the sock and the leather sock worn is that it be free from holes, that it be free from holes. As for what allows the foot to be seen, that is not covering. And what is visible of the foot must be washed. Wiping is not permissible unless the foot is covered. If something of it appears, it must be washed. Washing and wiping do not occur together. The default for the leather sock and the default for the sock is soundness. Let the one who claims that a perforated or torn item is wiped over bring us evidence that they wiped over a perforated or torn item. It is merely a probability. They say this is a probability, but a probability is not built upon. Yes.
The questioner:
And if the hole in the sock is very small, is it excused?
The Shaykh:
Yes. The thing through which the skin is not clearly visible is fine. Therefore, the gaps in the weave—there is no doubt that the gaps in the weave may be like the eye of a needle, like this—this is tolerated. Yes.
