Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And may Allah bless you. The brother Abu Hamid asks: What are the rulings related to wiping over leather socks, especially in the winter days?
Answer:
The rulings related to leather socks are that the conditions for the validity of wiping over them must be met. First, they must be put on after complete ritual purity, after washing the feet, to wear the socks. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Leave them, for I put them on while in a state of purity." The second condition is that the socks must cover the place of the obligatory washing, so that nothing of the ankles or what is below them is exposed. The third condition is that they must be firm on the feet, such that one can walk in them. The fourth condition is that the wiping must be within the specified time for wiping, which is one day and one night for the resident, and three days and their nights for the traveler. The fifth condition is that the socks must be pure, meaning made from a pure material or from pure skins. If the socks are made from something impure, then it is not permissible to wipe over them. Yes.

May Allah reward you with good.
