He says: Honorable Shaykh, what are the rulings related to the cold winter days regarding wiping over socks, and also regarding shoes? We go out into the desert often, and we would like you to tell us about the most prominent rulings in that matter?

The socks must be covering and thick on the leg, covering the ankles and everything below them. They must be thick enough that the skin is not visible through them, neither because of their thinness nor because of wide holes through which part of the leg is visible. The duration of wiping for the traveler is three days and their nights, and the duration of wiping for the resident is one day and one night. Yes.
