If a person does not know the ruling on wiping over a torn leather sock, does he have to repeat his prayer?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, many questions are asked about the issue of the torn leather sock. If a person did not know that it is not permissible to wipe over it, then he wiped, and then he learned, does he have to repeat the prayer?

Answer:
If he was following a scholar who issued that ruling, believing that the scholar was correct and on the right path, then he does not repeat the prayer. However, if he did not know and did not base his action on anything, then he must repeat the prayer, unless the number of prayers becomes so many that it is difficult for him to make them up, in which case he does not repeat the prayer. Yes.
