What is the ruling on wiping over thin socks?

The Shaykh : Is it permissible to wipe over thin socks?
My answer was that it is permissible, and I transmittedThe questioner : this answer also from some of the distinguished scholars of this land, namelyThe Shaykh : the distinguished Muhammad ibn Uthaymeen, who answered by stating that the condition that the socks be thick and not allow water to seep through has no evidence for it. He said, to the effect of: "There is no proof for this." So I said: He has spoken the truth and hit the mark, and may Allah reward him with good. For few are the scholars today who deviate from what is found in most books of jurisprudence for fear that their foot may slip, and only one who is firmly grounded in knowledge explicitly states such an answer. And that is nothing but the Book and the Sunnah and what the righteous Salaf were upon, as I mentioned earlier.
So I want to say, by way of clarifying this correct statement: It is permissible to wipe over socks even if they are thin. And I said jokingly to my companion and the questioner: It is permissible to wipe over socks even if they are thin, and even if the thinness is thinner than the religion of the Jews. Wiping over socks does no harm no matter how thin they are. The philosophy we hear is that it is required that water not seep through what is wiped over to the surface of the foot. I say: Indeed, this is philosophy! Despite the fact that it has no basis in the Book, nor in the Sunnah, nor in any of the statements of our righteous Salaf. "If the religion were by opinion" — what did Ali ibn Abi Talib say? — "If the religion were by opinion, wiping the bottom of the leather sock would be more appropriate than wiping the top of the leather sock, but I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wiping over the leather socks." So the religion is not by opinion, especially when opinion contradicts what came in the Sunnah. And I say that even in this issue, if the religion were by opinion, I would say: It is more appropriate to wipe over thin socks than to wipe over thick, heavy socks. Why? Because wiping is a substitute for washing. So if we combine washing, or water reaching the surface of the foot, with wiping; then logic and reason say this is more appropriate than requiring that not a single drop of water reach the skin of the foot. Where did this condition come from?
We say on this occasion: He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: , a hadith narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim in their "Sahihayn" from the hadith of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). Then I say: Wiping over leather socks, or wiping over socks, or wiping over sandals; all of this came from the perspective of dispensation and making things easy for people. If this wiping or that is restricted by conditions, the dispensation returns to the default ruling, and the dispensation returns to a state where it is not easy for people to use it.
It was reported from al-Hasan al-Basri when he was asked about wiping over torn socks: Is it permissible to wipe over torn socks? He said: "Were the socks of the Ansar and the Muhajireen anything but torn?" This is the ultimate dispensation. This is because we know the state of the early Salaf and their poverty. It is not possible to imagine that the early Salaf had the wealth and abundance of life that exists today in some Islamic countries, like your country, such that one of them hardly notices that a part of the foot is showing from the sock before he throws it on the ground and puts on another; first, because of its low price, and second, because of the abundance of wealth in the hands of these people. But the Ansar were not like that. This is from one aspect. From another aspect, it is not reasonable for a Muslim to care about his sock every time he feels that it has torn in a place and patch its tear. This is a burden that conflicts with the ease whose text came in the Noble Qur'an . So the fact that wiping over these types mentioned earlier; the sock, the sandal, and the leather sock, is from the dispensations, necessitates that these conditions not be placed on these dispensations which narrow the scope of the dispensation in them. So the statement that the sock requires such and such conditions, among which is that water does not reach as we mentioned, among which is that one can walk such and such a distance on the sock, and among which is that one stands his leg and it does not hang down below the ankles, are all opinions and independent legal reasoning. We do not doubt that those who said them intended good for the Muslim community. But what is not in the Book of Allah or in the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), it is not permissible for us to burden the Muslims by ordering them to do it. And what came to us from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is sufficient. And there is no condition in wiping over any type of these types except one condition, which is made easy and smoothed out; and that is restricting the wiping over what is wiped over, from the socks or the leather socks or the sandals, to one day and one night for the resident, and three days and their nights. Only this is the condition that came in the Sunnah. And if there had been a condition, let alone other conditions, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would have mentioned them, narrating from his Lord .
Therefore, we say that wiping over leather socks is permissible without any condition except the condition mentioned earlier. This is what needed to be explained on the occasion of this issue.
Please proceed.
