The Ruling on Wiping over Leather Socks and the Duration of the Dispensation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
What is the ruling on wiping over leather socks? It is a dispensation, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh:
Wiping over leather socks is a dispensation because the default ruling is to wash the feet. However, if one wears a covering over them, such as leather socks or opaque socks, and it is difficult for him to remove them, then Allah has made it easy for him and granted him a dispensation to wipe over the surface of the leather socks or the surface of the socks. This falls under the category of dispensation, and it has a duration, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explained.
The presenter:
May Allah send blessings upon him.
The Shaykh:
For the resident, it is one day and one night, and for the traveler, it is three days and their nights, starting from the first wipe after putting them on. Yes.
