The ruling on right-hand preference in wiping over leather socks

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is right-hand preference not prescribed in wiping over leather socks, based on the saying of the Prophet
Allah’s Messenger (rad) said: “When you perform ablution, begin with your right limbsصلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا تَوَضَّأْتُمْ فابدأوا بِمَيَامِنِكُمْ؟
Bulugh al-Maram 45


Answer:
No, there is right-hand preference in this: he places his right hand on his right foot and his left hand on his left foot, and passes them over the backs of his hands once, all together. This is what was reported. Right-hand preference is for the washing of the two feet, and this is wiping, which is not washing.
