Wiping over the leather boot without the sock and removing it before prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: You know, Honorable Shaykh, that these days the weather is sometimes cold. So sometimes I wipe over the leather boot, may Allah honor you, without the sock. Then I take off the leather boot, may Allah honor you, and pray, and then I put it back on. Is my action correct?
Answer:
It is not correct. If you wipe over something, you must keep it on, whether it is the leather boot or the socks. If you remove it and the foot becomes exposed, the ablution is invalidated, because wiping is only valid as long as the item being wiped over remains in place. If it is removed, the foot is exposed, and the dispensation granted by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ends. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
