Wiping over split leather socks and the conditions of the Companions

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) has a statement regarding the issue of excessive and split leather socks, and that the Companions used to wear them and wipe over them. Is what he (may Allah have mercy on him) saw correct?

Answer:
Yes, this is what the Shaykh al-Islam said, and others who followed him said it as well. Or rather, the default is soundness. The default for worn items is soundness. So prove to us that they were split. Prove to us that the leather socks of the Companions, or the socks of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), had holes in them, so that we may accept his statement. Otherwise, the default is soundness. The default for leather socks and worn items is soundness. Furthermore, when "leather sock" (khuff) and "sock" (jorab) are used without qualification, they refer to the intact one. As for the torn one, it is not referred to by the bare term, but rather one says "torn leather sock" or "torn sock." If I say "this is a sock" or "this is a leather sock" without qualification, that is deception. If someone orders you to make a leather sock, you must provide him with a torn leather sock and say, "I have done what you asked," and you give him a leather sock, he will say, "No, I only ordered a sound leather sock." You did not provide him with the unqualified leather sock that he intended. Yes.
