Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is wiping over the socks done from the top or from the bottom?
Answer:
Wiping over the socks is like wiping over leather socks; it is done on the top, not on the sides and not on the bottom, but on the top. The Commander of the Faithful, 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, said:
If the religion were based on opinion, it would be more important to wipe over the under parts of the leather socks than the upper
رضي الله عنه لو كان الدين بالرأي لكان مسح أسفل الخف أولى بالمسح من أعلاهI saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) wiping over his leather slippers
رأيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يمسح على أعلاه
