The Ruling on the Duration of Wearing Leather Socks for the Traveler and the Resident

Question:
Another question: When does the period for the one who breaks his fast begin, and when does it end?

Answer:
The scholars insisted that it begins from the wiping after the removal of the socks, and this is the stronger position. Others said it is from the removal after wearing them. The difference between the two is that the one who says it is from the removal after wearing them holds that, for example, if he touched them after Maghrib and then became ritually impure after Maghrib, he should never [wipe] from that state of impurity. So when the next Maghrib comes, he removes the socks, because the impurity occurred during that time. And the one who says that...
...it only begins from the wiping after the state of impurity, said that the end is the wiping. So if he became ritually impure after the Maghrib prayer, for example at six o'clock, but did not wipe until seven o'clock or seven and a half, shortening the 'Isha' prayer, then the period is from the wiping at the hour in which he wiped. So if he prayed with his socks before that, it is transferred to after the time of the impurity that preceded the impurity; that does not pass him. And a clearer example than this: if he did not remove them after the Fajr prayer and remained in a state of purity, then became ritually impure at, for example, [a certain] hour. Excuse me. And did not wipe until after the Zuhr prayer. Then in the two hours between the time of the impurity and the wiping, he may pray in them, because the period has not been completed. If it is not completed, the time of wiping comes at the beginning after the impurity.
So the result is that the stronger position is that the beginning is from the wiping after the state of impurity, based on the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): "The traveler wipes for three days and nights, and the resident for one day and night." So the ruling intends the wiping.
