The duration of wiping over the leather socks and its starting point
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh says: This questioner notes that it is well known among the general public that they wipe over their leather socks for only five prayers, and then they repeat it once.
Answer:
This is what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) specified: for the resident, one day and one night; and for the traveler, three days and their nights, regarding wiping over the leather socks and the leather boots. The starting point is the state of ritual impurity after putting them on. For example, if one performs the ablution, purifies himself, then puts on the leather socks, and then his ablution is broken, the duration of wiping begins from the first breaking of the ablution.
