Rulings on Wiping over Leather Socks

Question:
I said, and similar to this is what the Malikis stated: one does not make permissible the dispensation of wiping over leather socks if he touched them for the purpose of wiping itself; so if he wiped for that reason, it would not suffice for him.

Answer:
or from within. I said, and similar to this is what the Malikis stated: one does not make permissible the dispensation of wiping over leather socks if he touched them for the purpose of wiping itself; so if he wiped for that reason, it would not suffice for him, and he would have to repeat the prayer forever. The dispensation is only established for the one who wears them out of need, such as cold or riding, or the like; he wipes over them due to the difficulty of removing them. The other jurists disagreed with them on this, and the prohibition follows the principles of those who consider the objectives of the law. So the correct view is that there is no harm; one may wear them out of need to wipe over them, either because of his many engagements or for other reasons. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted wiping over leather socks for one day and one night for the resident, and for the traveler for as long as he is traveling, and he did not say with such and such a condition and such and such a condition. For this reason, the majority disagreed with the Malikis on this. Yes.
