Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence! Is wiping over socks sufficient in the ablution for relieving major ritual impurity, so that one may remain in the mosque as long as the time for wiping remains, or is it necessary to wash the feet?
Yes.
This is a good question,He says: In the ablution for relieving major ritual impurity, is wiping over the socks sufficient as long as the time for wiping remains, or must one remove them and wash his feet?And the answer: Wiping over the socks is sufficient; because this is an ablution that permits him to pray. If it permits him to pray when he is not in a state of major ritual impurity, then likewise it relieves him of the major ritual impurity.
As for remaining in the mosque, it is not permissible unless he performs ablution. If he is wearing socks and wipes over them, is that sufficient, or must he remove the socks and wash his feet?So the answer is: It is sufficient; because this is the manner of the lawful ablution that permits prayer. If one of them cites the hadith of Safwan ibn 'Asal, in which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (Wipe over them, except from major ritual impurity), you tell him: This is regarding the full ritual bath. If he intends to perform the full ritual bath, he must remove the socks.
Yes.
