The ruling on one who takes off his leather socks and then puts them on before a state of ritual impurity

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, if a person performs ablution, then puts on his leather socks, then takes them off, and then puts them on again while still in the state of the first ablution.

The Shaykh:
If.

The questioner:
He performs ablution, then puts on his leather socks, then takes them off, and then puts them on again while still in the state of the first ablution. Is this permissible?

The Shaykh:
There is no harm. Do not start [the process] anew; that is, if he takes them off before a state of ritual impurity, he puts them on while in a state of purity. Then if he takes them off before a state of ritual impurity and puts them on again, the ruling remains; there is no harm. The issue is if he puts them on while in a state of purity, and then his ablution is broken. If he takes them off after the state of ritual impurity, he does not wipe over them because of the breaking of purity. If he had put them on while not in a state of purity, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said and said . So the one who becomes ritually impure and then puts these on does not wipe over them. Yes.
