The ruling on removing socks during a state of ritual purity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Also, Umm Abdullah says in another letter: I put on my socks while I was in a state of ritual purity, and then I became obligated to pray while still in that state of purity. I also do not know if I was in a state of purity or not, so I took them off and prayed while I was outside the house. What is the ruling on that prayer of mine? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
There is no harm in that if you put on the socks while you were in a state of ritual purity. If your state of purity continued with you and you wanted to pray with that previous ablution, there is no objection to you taking off the socks. What is prohibited is that you put them back on after that and wipe over them, that is, putting them back on after the ablution has been broken and wiping over them. However, if you take them off while you are still in the state of the ablution you put them on in, then you pray, and then you put them back on while the ablution is still valid and has not been broken, there is no objection to wiping over them. But if you take them off and the ablution is broken, and then you put them back on your feet, you do not wipe over them, because you put them on the second time while not in a state of purity. Yes.
