Conditions for Wiping Over Leather Socks

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, what are the conditions that necessitate the soul to the ruling, and likewise the answer?

The Shaykh:
What is it?

The questioner:
What are the necessary conditions for the ritual regarding cotton?

The Shaykh:
The necessary conditions for wiping over the leather socks. Among the most prominent and clearest of them is that they must be put on after complete ritual purity. The evidence points to this:
I put them on in a state of purity,أدخلتهما طاهرتين،
So
One of you purifies himself and then puts on his leather socks,تطهر أحدكم فلبس خفيه،
this is one. The second condition is that the leather sock, and whatever is in its legal category, must be permissible, meaning it must not be made from a forbidden material, such as pigskin or the skin of a carrion animal. This is what is permissible to wear. Therefore, it is not permissible to wipe over it. Or, it must not be usurped; for example, if this leather sock is usurped and belongs to another person, it is not permissible to wipe over it because it is usurped and not his property. The third condition is that the leather sock must be made from a pure material. So, if the leather sock is made from a forbidden material, such as pigskin, dogskin, or the skin of a carrion animal—according to the view that it does not become pure through tanning—then it is not wiped over, because it is impure in itself. It is not permissible to wipe over what is impure in itself. And among the conditions for wiping over the leather socks is that the item worn must be fixed on the foot. It must be fixed on the foot, not slipping off or falling off when walking. If it falls off when he walks, then it is not wiped over because it is not fixed. The known leather sock about which the evidence was transmitted is fixed on the foot, and the dispensation for wiping over it was granted only because of its fixation, because removing it and breaking the ablution is difficult. As for the leather sock that is not fixed, removing it is easy; you take it off and wash the feet, so it requires a dispensation. Yes.
And among the conditions for wiping over the leather socks is that the leather sock must cover what is underneath it. So, what is underneath it must not be visible, either because it is thin or because it is torn and has large holes through which part of the foot is visible. This is not permissible to wipe over, because one only wipes over the leather sock that covers, not the leather sock that does not cover. Yes, and so on, of the conditions mentioned by the jurists. Also, the wiping must be within the time limit, not exceeding the time limit, which is one day and one night for the resident, and three days for the traveler. This is also one of the conditions: that the wiping be within the time limit.

The questioner:
In them. By that, it is necessary that

The Shaykh:
The face, from the usual hairline of the head to what descends from the two cheeks and the belly above.

The questioner:
It is necessary.

The Shaykh:
That the turban is delayed from the rest of the face, because the face is obligatory to wash. The turban is delayed so that it does not leave any part of the face stationary.
