Wearing socks after washing each foot separately

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a person washes his right foot, then puts on his socks, then washes his left foot, then puts on his socks, is his action valid?

Answer:
This falls under the chapter we stopped at, which is the condition of ritual purity for wiping over leather socks. This is not permissible; it is not permissible to wipe over them in this manner. The condition for wiping is that they be worn after the completion of ritual purity, after the completion of ritual purity. As for washing one foot, then putting on the socks and stockings over it, and then washing the other foot, wiping over them is not permissible because he wore them before the completion of purity. Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
He ordered me to leave them as he had put them after performing ablutionدعهما فإني أدخلتهما طاهرتين
Sahih al-Bukhari 206
.
I put them on while they were pure,خلتهما طاهرتين،
As for the one who puts one foot in while it is pure and the other after it has been washed, this is not valid for him. Yes.
