Conditions for Wiping Over Leather Socks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Say: O Shaykh, what is prescribed is only from the people, except regarding the Qur'an.
Answer:
The conditions for wiping over the leather socks. Among the most prominent and clear of them is that one puts them on after performing the ablution. The evidence points to this: if one of you performs the ablution, then he puts on his leather socks. This is the first condition.
The second condition is that the leather sock, and whatever is in its legal category, must be permissible. It must not be made from a forbidden material, such as pigskin or the skin of a carrion animal. This is not permissible to wear, so wiping over it is not permissible. Or it must not be stolen; if the leather sock is stolen, belonging to another person, it is not permissible for him to wipe over it in this state because it is stolen and not his property.
The third condition is that the leather sock must be made from a pure material. If the leather sock is made from a forbidden material, such as pigskin, dogskin, or the skin of a carrion animal, according to the view that it does not become pure by tanning, then wiping over it is not successful, because it is impure in itself. It is obligatory to wipe over the place of knowledge. And among the conditions for wiping over the leather socks is that the worn item must be fixed on the foot, not slipping off while walking or falling off while walking. If it falls off when he walks, then the wiping is not valid because it is not fixed.
And the known type for which the evidence was transmitted is that which is fixed on the feet, and it was not mentioned in the text except because of its stability, because removing it and undoing it is difficult. As for the type that does not stay fixed, its removal is easy; it slips off and is left on the feet, requiring a knee.
Yes. And among the conditions for wiping over the leather socks is that the leather sock must cover what is underneath it, so that what is underneath is not visible, either because of its thinness or because it is torn and has large holes through which part of the foot is visible. In this case, wiping over it is not permissible, because one wipes over the leather sock that covers, not the leather sock that does not cover, among other conditions mentioned by the jurists.
And also that the wiping must be within the time limit, not exceeding the limit, which is one day and one night for the resident, and three days for the traveler. This is also one of the conditions: that the wiping be within the time limit.
