Conditions for Wiping Over Leather Socks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And may Allah bless you. A message from the brother 'Abd al-'Aziz al-Salamah from Awthal. He says: Shaykh, what are the conditions for wiping over the leather socks, especially in the winter days? For some people, Honorable Shaykh, wear these socks and these leather socks for more than three days.
Answer:
Wiping over the leather socks is a dispensation that Allah has made easy for His servants, in place of washing the two feet. However, there are conditions for wiping over the leather socks, or whatever serves as their equivalent, such as thick socks. Among the conditions is that they must be put on after complete ritual purity; one performs the ablution completely, washing his two feet. Once he has washed his two feet, he puts on the leather socks and wipes over them for three days and nights if he is a traveler, and for one day and night if he is a resident. He wipes over them on the condition that they cover the two feet, meaning they cover the feet from the ankles and below, and that they are thick enough that the color of the skin is not seen through them; they must not be torn or transparent, but rather be covering. This is because when the term "leather sock" is used, it refers to a sound, covering leather sock. Yes.
