Wearing socks over a previous state of ritual purity after removing the socks that were wiped over

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner, O people, it is known that if a person removes his socks, his state of ritual purity is broken. So, if he holds the stronger opinion, is it permissible for him to wear another pair of socks over the previous state of ritual purity? And is it also permissible for him to wear them for more than one time?

The Shaykh:
What is the story?

The questioner:
He says: One who knows that if a person removes his socks, his state of ritual purity remains, according to the correct opinion, is it permissible for him to wear another pair of socks over the previous state of ritual purity? And is it also permissible for him to pray for more than one time?

The Shaykh:
My brother, if you remove the socks that you wiped over, your state of ritual purity is invalid. As for your statement that this is the stronger opinion, that is not correct. The stronger opinion is that if the wiped-over item is removed, the ablution is invalid. So you renew the ablution and start over; you begin the wiping anew. Yes.
