Wiping over the leather socks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
If a person performs wudu' (ablution) and then puts on socks, and after wiping over them he needs to put on another pair, does he wipe over the second pair? And what about the reverse, if he has several pairs of socks, one over the other, and he needs to remove one of them, how does the ruling on wiping apply?
As for the first issue: If he needs to put on socks and puts on an additional pair while in a state of purity, there is no harm in it. He wipes over them, but the time limit is calculated from when he wiped over the first pair. For example, if a day has passed and only a night remains for a resident, and he puts on a second pair over the first while in a state of purity, he does not wipe over the second pair except for the remainder of that night only.
As for the reverse, if he wiped over the upper pair and then wanted to lighten his load and remove it, he removes the second pair if he intends to perform wudu' and wash his feet. This is because he has removed the pair that was wiped over, and if the pair that was wiped over is removed, the wiping is invalidated.
As for if a person performs wudu' and wipes over a sock, and then needs to add more, and puts on a second sock while in a state of purity after having wiped over the first one while pure, he wipes over the second one and there is no harm in it. However, he wipes over it for the remainder of the time limit, not starting from the beginning.And the example, as I said: For example, a person puts on socks at Fajr and wipes over them for Zuhr, 'Asr, and Maghrib. Then he wipes over them and puts on a second pair of socks. Does he start a new day and night, or does he complete the previous day and night? The answer is that he completes the previous day and night. As for now, he wipes over them even if only a short time remains of the time limit. As for the reverse, as if he had put on two pairs, and when half a day had passed, he removed the one he was wiping over. In this case, he must perform wudu' for prayer without socks.Meaning: He removes the sock, and the difference between the two cases is that if the pair that was wiped over is removed, the wiping is invalidated.
