The Manner of Wiping Over Leather Socks and Its Duration
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Excellency the Shaykh, this person asked me, saying: Regarding wiping over the leather socks, and since we are about to enter the winter season after a short while, we ask Your Excellency, Shaykh Salih, to give a brief overview of the manner of wiping, the duration of the wiping, and how these rulings are applied?
Answer:
The leather socks, or whatever serves as their equivalent, must cover the two legs; it is obligatory that they cover the two legs. The duration of wiping for a resident is one day and one night, and for a traveler it is three days and their nights. The wiping is on the outer surface of the leather sock, not on its side or its sole, but only on its outer surface. One wets his fingers with water, places them on the tips of his fingers, and then passes them over his legs once. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
