Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if a man removes his leather socks, is his wudu' invalidated?
Answer:
If he wiped over them and then removed the socks that were wiped over, his wudu' is invalidated. However, if he did not wipe over them, but rather wiped over socks and wore the leather socks over the socks, and the wiping was only over the socks, then his wudu' is not invalidated. His wudu' is not invalidated unless he removes the item over which he wiped. Yes.
