The questioner : What is the ruling on wearing the right sock before washing the left foot?
The Shaykh : There is nothing wrong with it; that is, there is nothing wrong with wearing the sock on the right foot before the left. However, the scholars differ on this matter: if one wears them and then performs the ablution, does he wipe over them or not? There is scholarly disagreement on this, and without a doubt, the precaution is for a person to wait until he washes the left foot, and then wear the sock after the ablution is completely finished.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
