Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I performed the ablution for the night prayer and wiped over my leather socks, and I was certain that they were not torn. Then, by Allah’s decree, I led the congregation in the night prayer, and after the prayer I was surprised to find a tear in the sock that I had not seen. What is the ruling on my prayer?
Answer:
The prayer is valid, if Allah wills, especially if this tear is small. If it is small, the prayer is valid, if Allah wills, but in the future, replace it with a sound sock.
