Wiping over socks or shoes that do not cover the ankles
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If the sock or shoe, may Allah keep you safe, that we wipe over during wudu' (the ablution for prayer) reaches below the ankles, is it permissible to wipe over them?
Answer:
It is not permissible to wipe over them unless they cover the ankles and what is beneath them, so that the leg which is obligatory to wash is covered by the socks or the leather socks. As for what hangs down below the ankles, wiping over it does not suffice because it does not cover, yes.
