The ruling on the prayer of one who removed his socks after wiping over them and then put them back on without performing wudu'
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
I performed wudu' yesterday for the Fajr prayer. After the prayer, I put on my socks and wiped over them for the Zuhr prayer, and I prayed 'Asr with them on. After the 'Asr prayer, I took them off for an hour and then put them back on and prayed Maghrib. When I finished the Maghrib prayer, I became uncertain and asked some of my brothers, and they said: You must repeat the Maghrib prayer.
What is your opinion, Your Eminence?
This is correct. If a person removes his socks after wiping over them, he cannot put them back on except after performing wudu'. You put them back on without wudu' and wiped over them for Maghrib.
The questioner: I put them on because I was in a state of ablution and had not broken it?The Shaykh: However, putting them on with your first wudu' with which you wiped for Zuhr is not permissible; because a person must put on his socks while in a state of purity in which he has washed his feet. Therefore, you must now repeat the Maghrib prayer. And if you also did not perform wudu' for the 'Isha' prayer and did not wash your feet, you must repeat both prayers, Maghrib and 'Isha'.
