Continuation of the answer regarding the ruling on wiping over thin socks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Similarly, we say that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) granted a dispensation for wiping over leather socks, wiping over socks, and wiping over sandals. So whether what is wiped over is lawful to do or forbidden, that is a separate matter. Our discussion is about the wiping, and it is permissible.
So there is no difference regarding the wiping between one who is obedient and one who is disobedient. But without a doubt, she is disobedient because she is going out as if she had gone out barefoot without wearing socks, for she has exposed her skin. And our Lord says in His Book:[An-Nur 24:31].
The common practice in those days was that women did not wear socks, and therefore their feet would be exposed in the case of movement or a strong wind or something similar. For that reason, the Shari'ah, as you know, prescribed that a woman's garment should hang down by a span or two spans, and this is the maximum limit, so that her foot is not exposed, because it was not their custom to wear socks.
So if a woman goes out without wearing her socks, but she is not wearing the Shari'ah-prescribed outer garment, she is disobedient. She is disobedient, but if she performs the ablution and washes her feet, she is obedient.
Similarly, we say that if she goes out wearing transparent socks, she is disobedient, but if she prays and wipes over them, she is obedient.
I see now that some eyes have begun to be teased by sleep. What do you think, is it time to leave?
No, you do not have to expose it, meaning, and perform an examination.
The questioner : It was exposed on its own.
