Does ritual purity become invalid by removing the upper leather sock?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A person, after performing wudu' and wearing socks on these days, says: “Shaykh, I wore another pair of socks over them, then I had a state of ritual impurity before wiping over them. Then I removed the upper pair, then performed wudu' and wiped over the lower pair. Is his wiping valid?”
Answer:
Yes, if the lower socks cover the foot and he wore socks over them, then removed them before wiping, there is no harm in that. He begins wiping over the lower socks and continues wiping over them. However, if he wiped over the upper pair and then removed them, the wiping is invalid; because the thing over which he wiped is gone, and the dispensation is gone with it. Yes.
