The ruling on wiping over light socks and breaking the fast in voluntary fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Peace be upon you. Is it permissible to wipe over light socks?
The Shaykh:
If they cover the skin such that the black and white flesh is not visible, and they are a covering, then one wipes over them. However, if they do not cover, one does not wipe over them.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
The questioner:
For one who is unable to complete voluntary fasting, is it permissible for him to break the fast?
The Shaykh:
He may break the fast. The voluntary fast is a matter in which its owner has a choice for himself; if he completes it, that is better, and if he breaks it, there is no blame on him.
