Is it required when wiping over the socks to wipe over both of them before covering one of them with a sandal or shoe?

Question:
Wiping over the socks, Honorable Shaykh, what is the rule? Does one start with the right foot, then put it in, and then start with the left foot?

Answer:
What is meant by the socks? The socks are wiped over, and it is not obligatory to wipe over all of them; one wipes over one and puts it in the… in the leather sock. As for what is intended, it is the washing. One does not wash a foot, then put on the leather sock, then wash the second foot and put on the leather sock. If that is the case, he does not wipe over them, because one of the conditions of wiping is that one puts them on in a state of complete ritual purity. He puts them on after complete ritual purity. As for his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) Yes.
