The Ruling on Wiping Over a Torn Sock
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: What is the ruling on wiping over a sock or stocking that has a small tear, and what is the difference between a sock and a stocking?
Answer:
A sock is a stocking. It is required that it be thick enough to cover what is beneath it. If it has holes or tears through which some of the skin is visible, one does not wipe over it because it is not a barrier. However, if the defect is not visible, such as a flaw in the fabric that is not apparent, this does not matter; a flaw in the fabric does not matter. Yes.
