Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I saw one of the students of knowledge performing wudu'. When he came to the wiping, he wiped over the top of his socks that were visible from the boots, meaning on the lower legs. Is his action valid? He says: I saw one of the students of knowledge perform wudu', and when he came to wiping over the leather socks, he wiped over the top of the socks that were visible from the boots, meaning he wiped over the lower legs. Is his action valid?
Answer:
No, it is not valid; it is not correct. Wiping over the leather socks is from the toes of the feet up to the lower legs; this is the place of wiping.
