The ruling on wiping over a single sock
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: Is it permissible to wipe over a single sock if the other foot is exposed and has some wounds, making it impossible to wear a sock on it?
Answer:
No, this is not permissible. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said to al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him) when he wanted to remove the Messenger's (peace and blessings be upon him) socks:Sahih al-Bukhari 206. However, if a person’s foot is amputated and he has only one foot, if his foot is amputated and he has only one foot, he may wear a sock on it and wipe over it, because this foot is equivalent to two feet. Yes.
