The Valid Wipe During the Period of Wiping Over Leather Socks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
His Eminence the Shaykh: If a person performs wudu for the Fajr prayer and then puts on his leather socks, and when the time for the Zuhr prayer arrives he is still in a state of purity, and he wants to renew his purity by wiping over the socks, does the time period count from this wipe or not?
The scholars say: The time period for wiping does not begin until after wiping due to a state of ritual impurity. Therefore, wiping for the purpose of renewal does not start the time period, as in the example you mentioned. If he renews his wudu for the Zuhr prayer without having a state of ritual impurity and wipes, the time period does not begin from this wudu. If he then becomes ritually impure and performs wudu for the 'Asr prayer, the time period begins from that time.
