Question:
Honorable Shaykh, when does the time limit for wiping over leather socks begin? Does it start from the first time one wipes over them, or does it start from the first state of ritual impurity that occurs for the person?
Answer:
It is correct that it begins from the first wiping. It is correct that, according to some of the statements of the scholars, the beginning of the time limit is from the first wiping after the state of ritual impurity, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 1:128. Thus, the time limit is tied to the wiping, so the time limit begins with the first wiping after the state of ritual impurity that invalidated the ablution while he was wearing the leather socks. Yes.
