The Ruling on Wiping Over Socks and Removing Them Before Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I put on socks after Fajr while in a state of ritual purity, and I wiped over them for Zuhr, and I wiped over them for 'Asr and Maghrib. I performed wudu' and wiped over them, and before the prayer I removed them. He asks: Am I in a state of ritual purity?
Answer:
No, if you remove them, the ritual purity is invalidated; because you removed what was wiped over and the foot is exposed, and if it is exposed, it must be washed. So if you remove what was wiped over, the ritual purity is invalidated, and it must be repeated.
