Is it considered that he entered the leather socks in a state of ritual purity if he washed one foot and then put on the sock?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If he washes one foot and then puts the sock on that foot, and does the same with the other foot, is it considered that he entered the leather socks in a state of ritual purity?

Answer:
No. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Leave them, for I put them on while in a state of purity.” He put them on while both feet were in a state of purity. As for if he puts one on and puts the other on after that, it becomes as if he did not put them on while in a state of purity. Did he put the first one on while his ritual purity was not complete? That is, he put the first one on while his ritual purity was not complete, so wiping is not valid in this case. Yes.
