How to Wipe Over Leather Socks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
If a person has an injury in half of the foot, such as pain or a splint, such that he cannot tie up half of the foot, approximately, and he wraps the other half with gauze or a bandage, how is the wiping performed over it? May Allah reward you.
This, may Allah reward you, is not wiping over leather socks. If a person has wrapped half of his foot with a bandage due to pain in it, the scholars call this a cast. Wash what is exposed and wipe over what is covered in its entirety. This has no time limit, and it is not required that it be put on while in a state of ritual purity. It is permissible in the case of minor ritual impurity and major ritual impurity, because the scholars call this a cast. Therefore, this does not fall under the category of wiping over leather socks. The exposed part is washed, and the covered part is wiped over.
