Rulings on Wiping Over Socks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Salim says: I hope that the Honorable Shaykh (may Allah preserve him) will clarify for me the most important rulings related to wiping over socks, as we are on the verge of winter.
Answer:
Socks take the place of leather socks on the condition that they cover the prescribed area, covering the ankles and what is below them; this is a condition. The second condition is that they be made of a pure material, woven or manufactured from a pure material, so that one wipes over them. The third condition is that one wipes over them within the time limit: for the resident, one day and one night; for the traveler, three days and their nights. So here, the ruling on socks is the same as the ruling on leather socks, yes. The conditions required for them are the same as those required for leather socks, yes.
