Wiping over the boot with a sock
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does one wipe over the boot, which is not a leather sock, and pray in it, or not? Since it is not considered a leather sock, given that there is a thick, covering sock underneath it?
Answer:
Whoever says it is considered a leather sock, it is a leather sock. I mean, just because it is called a boot, the name "boot" does not take it out of the category of a leather sock. It is a leather sock, and the name does not change the reality. So one wipes over it and prays in it, and praise be to Allah.
