The Duration of Wiping over Leather Socks

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: Is it permissible to wipe over the socks in the cold, for a day and a night, without removing the socks?
A: Praise be to Allah alone, and blessings and peace be upon His Messenger, his family, and his Companions. After that: It is permissible to wipe over the socks if they are thick, meaning: the skin is not visible through them, and they cover the obligatory area. The duration of wiping for a resident is one day and one night, and for a traveler it is three days and their nights. The duration of wiping begins from the wiping after the state of ritual impurity. The basis for this is what Muslim narrated from 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:
For the traveler it is three days and nights, and for the resident it is one day and one night.للمسافر ثلاثة أيام ولياليهن، وللمقيم يوم وليلة
Sunan Ibn Majah 555Da'if (Darussalam)
, and what Ahmad and others narrated, and al-Tirmidhi graded it as authentic, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
wiped upon the two cloth socks and the two sandalsمسح على الجوربين والنعلين
Sunan an-Nasa'i 125 b
, and there is no objection to wearing two or more socks together after completing ritual purity; due to the generality of the hadiths.
And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and his Companions.
