Does removing the leather socks after wiping over them invalidate the ablution?

Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. A man in the desert says: I performed wudu' and wiped over my leather socks, then I removed the socks, and no state of ritual impurity occurred. Is it permissible for him to pray with the wiping, or is he required to perform wudu' for every prayer?

Answer:
Because the dispensation for wiping was granted to him only while the barrier remained on his foot, whether a sock or a leather sock. If he removes it, the place of wiping is gone, the dispensation ends, and it becomes obligatory to wash the two feet. Yes.
