What the socks must cover when wiping over them

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it required that the socks cover the ankles, or is it sufficient that they cover the inner and outer parts of the foot?

Answer:
No, they must cover the entire foot, covering everything that is obligatory to wash, including the ankles. It is necessary that they cover them.
