The invalidation of wiping over leather socks by removing them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: Regarding socks, Shaykh, if I put on socks while in a state of ritual purity, then wipe over them, for example, for the midday prayer, and then I take the socks off while I am still in a state of ritual purity, is it permissible for me to put the socks on again and wipe over them for the afternoon prayer?
Answer:
No. If you take off the socks, the wiping is invalidated; because wiping is only valid while the socks are on. So if you take them off, it becomes obligatory to wash, specifically to wash the two feet. Yes.
