Wearing another sock after removing the one wiped over

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: It is known that if a person removes the sock, his ritual purity is invalidated. So if he says it is the regular voluntary prayer, is it permissible for him to wear another sock on the previous ritual purity? And is it also permissible for him to pray more than one time?

The Shaykh:
What is the story?

The questioner:
He says: It is known that if a person removes the sock, his ritual purity remains, according to the stronger position. So is it permissible for him to wear another sock on the previous ritual purity? And is it also permissible for him to pray more than one time?

The Shaykh:
My brother, if you remove the sock that you wiped over, your ritual purity is invalidated. As for your statement that this is the stronger position, that is not correct. The stronger position is that if the one wiped over is removed, the ablution is invalidated. So you renew the ablution and start over; you begin the wiping anew. Yes.
