The ruling on wiping over non-leather socks and the difference between that and shaving the head

The questioner:
If it is not made of leather, they do not call it a khuff (sock), but the majority hold that one may wipe over anything worn on the foot, whether it is made of leather, hair, or something else. Yes. As for the case of Shaykh Abu Hamd, why did the head of the ruling after the mosque rule in favor of Anas Abras and then change it? This does not constitute standing, so why is it not always like that?

The Shaykh:
Yes, this is sometimes mentioned in Islamic legal opinions, stating that it does not invalidate the wudu (ablution), and it is an analogy to wiping over the head if one shaves it after wiping. What do you say about renewing the wudu? We say there is a difference between removing the khuff and shaving the head, because when the head is shaved, its roots remain; the wiping over the hair removed its branches but its roots remained, so the roots of what was wiped over are still present. This is unlike the khuff, which is removed entirely, leaving no roots on the foot. There is a difference between these two, and if an analogy involves a distinguishing factor, it is not a valid analogy.
