The Duration of Wiping Over the Socks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is the evidence for the duration of wiping over the socks?
The Shaykh : With the evidence for the duration of wiping over the socks, what is this question? Its answer is well known in the Sunnah: the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for wiping over the leather socks for a resident is three days, and for a traveler, one day and one night.
The questioner : I mean, it seems the questioner here intends... Yes, yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, yes, what is he referring to?
The questioner : Because he is asking if the socks are like the leather socks?
The Shaykh : May Allah forgive him, how is this thing?
The questioner : No, this is from my own knowledge.
The Shaykh : Good, from you, but I am surprised by the question.
The questioner : Is there a text regarding the socks?
The Shaykh : Of course, there is a text.
The questioner : What is it?
The Shaykh : The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wiped over the socks and the sandals. And the Companions did the same with the thick socks, Malik and others. Al-Nawawi mentioned in al-Majmu' that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab held that wiping over thin socks is permissible, and Abu Dawud mentioned in his Sunan the wiping over the socks by a group of the Companions.
