Rulings on Wiping over Leather Socks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Excellency the Shaykh, a questioner says: With the onset of the cold, would you please speak briefly about the rulings on wiping over leather socks? May Allah preserve you and care for you?
Answer:
Wiping over the leather socks is a recommended practice (sunnah) that has been transmitted from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in a mass-transmitted manner (mutawatir); only the people of innovation (ahl al-bid'ah) have rejected it. So, if one wears the leather socks while in a state of ritual purity (taharah) after completing the full ablution, and they cover the area where the obligatory washing is required, covering the ankles and what is below them, then he wipes over them. The resident does so for one day and one night, and the traveler for three days and their nights. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you and may Allah reward you with good.
