Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Honorable Shaykh, this person asks and says: What is the ruling on wearing socks and gloves in prayer?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that if he wears them while in a state of ritual purity; there is no harm in them. As for the socks, if they cover what is beneath them, are not transparent, and do not reveal what is underneath, then he may wipe over them. They take the ruling of leather socks, as a concession from Allah for His servants: a resident for one day and one night, and a traveler for three days and their nights. This is on the condition that they are thick on the foot, that they cover what is beneath them, and that he puts them on while in a state of ritual purity. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, O Shaykh.
