Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I performed wudu' and wiped over my leather socks. When I entered the mosque to perform the prayer, I took them off. Is my prayer valid?
Answer:
No. If you take off what you wiped over, and this is before a state of ritual impurity, then yes, there is nothing wrong with it. If you performed wudu' and put on the leather socks, and then when you reached the mosque you took them off, and you had not yet wiped over them, there is no issue. But if you had already wiped over them, it is not permissible for you to take off what you wiped over unless you intend to perform wudu'. If you take them off, your wudu' becomes invalid. Yes.
