Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Please. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. The Shaykh's daughter. Shaykh Muhammad al-'Utaibi. Yes, your question, Honorable Shaykh. The female questioner says: What is the ruling on wiping over light women's socks?

Answer : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and I send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, the Seal of the Prophets and the Imam of the righteous, and upon his family and his Companions, and those who follow them in excellence until the Day of Judgment. There is nothing wrong with it, whether they are women's or men's. Wiping over a light sock is permissible, provided that it is worn while in a state of ritual purity, and that the specified time limit is not exceeded, which is one day and one night for a resident, and three days and their nights for a traveler, and that the person does not have a full ritual bath due to major ritual impurity. So covering the funeral shroud, there is no wiping of socks in it.
