The ruling on removing socks with every ablution
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, regarding socks, and removing the socks with every ablution as a precaution for ritual purity, what is the Shaykh’s view on that?
Answer:
This is an excessive burden that is prohibited. If you wear socks over two barriers while in a state of ritual purity, the Sunnah is to wipe over them and take the dispensation. Indeed, Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, loves for His dispensations to be taken, just as He dislikes for His prohibitions to be violated. Yes.
