When does the period for wiping over the leather socks begin for the resident and the traveler?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence the Shaykh! Given the severe cold in some of these days, and the fact that some people wear socks and stockings, when does the period for wiping begin for the traveler and the resident? And if he travels and returns, when does the wiping end? And when does it begin?

The Shaykh : The resident wipes for one day and one night, and the period begins from the first time he wipes after a state of ritual impurity. So if he performs the ablution for the Fajr prayer today, which is Saturday, and wipes at twelve o'clock. When does the period begin? When? From twelve o'clock to twelve o'clock on Sunday. So what is before the wiping is not counted in the period. And is it possible for a person to pray with the purity of wiping for three days while he is a resident?
Is it possible? Yes, it is possible, if we assume that he put them on today, Saturday, for the Fajr prayer, and remained in his state of purity until after the 'Isha' prayer. And he slept. And he got up for the Fajr prayer. One day. What day? Sunday. And he performed the ablution and wiped at five o'clock.
When does the period begin? Five o'clock on the second day, if the whole day and night have passed, it is not counted against him. His day remains. Then he slept the night of Monday. And he woke up at four-thirty and wiped. Did he wipe before the completion of the period or during the period? Yes, during the period. He wiped, and the time for the Fajr adhan came at five o'clock, and he remained in his state of purity until he slept the night of Tuesday. How much is the period of wiping? How much? In reality, he did not wipe for more than a day and a night, but he remained in his state of purity for a full day, and the correct of the scholars' opinions is that the ablution is not invalidated by the completion of the period, as for the traveler, he wipes for three days and their nights. Yes, what? How is that? As long as he is a traveler, he wipes for a day and a night until he returns to his homeland.
