Ruling on wearing sandals that are below the ankles

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
May Allah forgive you! Are the boots that are below the ankles considered leather socks or not?
Yes.

The boots below the ankles, some scholars say: There is nothing wrong with them; because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said in the hadith of 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar: (Whoever does not find two sandals, let him wear two leather socks and cut them below the ankles) They said: This is because when they are cut below the ankles, they become like sandals,But the apparent meaning of the Sunnah is general: (and not the leather socks) So the correct view is that it is forbidden, and that it is not permissible for the one in the state of ihram to wear the boot, even if it is below the ankle.
