[The Ruling on Wiping Over Thin Socks (Stockings)]
A young man wore socks (stockings) of the thin type that reveal the skin, and he wiped over them for three prayers. He knew that wiping over thin socks is not permissible. Does he commit a sin or not?
First, I ask you: Why did you say: a young man? Do not young men do such a thing?The questioner: I mean, it happened.
The Shaykh: Or are you describing what happened?In any case: Wiping over thin socks is permissible; because there is no evidence that it must not reveal the skin, and he owes nothing.
