Wiping over a torn leather sock
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh said: In the previous answer, I mentioned that the term *khuff* (leather sock) applies only to the intact one, and I cited the apparent meaning of the hadith regarding the mosque concerning *khuffayn* (leather socks). But is not the time for wearing the *khuff* recommended or general for both the intact and the torn, since the term *khuff* is applied to the torn one as well?
Answer:
What is called a torn *khuff* is not simply called a *khuff*; one says "a torn *khuff*" or "a split *khuff*." It must be qualified. If you say *khuff* and leave it general, that is deception (*tadlis*) and a failure toward the person you are informing or buying from for this purpose. You must qualify it, saying "a torn *khuff*" or "a split *khuff*." If you leave it general, it refers to the intact one. Generality refers to the intact one. Yes.
