Question:
He has on his feet a pair of socks, then he wiped over them once or twice, then he put on another pair over them. Does he wipe over the last pair or the first? And what is the duration of wiping in this case?
Answer:
The jurists say that if one begins wiping over the leather sock or the sock and then puts on another over it, the wiping is done over the first one, the one over which the wiping began, and not over the second layer. It is done over the first one. So if he wants to wipe, he takes off the first one and wipes over the lower one until the duration is completed. As for if he puts on the second leather sock or the second sock before the first wiping, meaning he performs wudu' in a state of purity and puts on the leather sock or sock on his leg, and then before he wipes he puts on a second one, he wipes over the upper one. The ruling applies to the one over which the wiping began. This is the rule: the ruling applies to the one over which the wiping began. So if he began wiping over the lower one, the ruling applies to it, and if he began wiping over the upper one, the ruling applies to the upper one. Yes.
