Wiping over a torn sock
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Salim asks: Does a small hole in the sock prevent wiping over it? And what is the ruling on wiping over socks that are made of wool?
Answer:
The sock over which one wipes must cover the foot such that the color of the skin is not visible through it. If the color of the skin is visible through it, for example if it is transparent, or if it has large tears or many openings through which the skin is visible, then one does not wipe over it, because it is not sound and does not provide covering.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
