A man wore socks over ritual purity, then removed them, then put them back on, and wanted to wipe over them. Is that permissible for him or not?

The questioner : ... regarding the wiping... over the socks...
The Shaykh : ... Did he wipe over them or not? If he wiped over them, for example, a man prayed the Fajr prayer after performing wudu and wearing the socks, wearing them over his wudu. When the time for Zuhr came, he wiped over them. Between Zuhr and Asr, he took them off and put on different ones. We do not say: he wipes over them, unless he put them on over a new ritual purity, meaning a new wudu. But if it is merely a change, meaning he put them on in the morning over ritual purity, and before Zuhr he remained in a state of ritual purity and had not yet wiped, then he took them off and put on different ones, he can wipe over them for Asr. Because it would no longer be valid for him to wipe over them, since the act of wiping over them had not been performed previously. So, these are the two scenarios we have presented, and the difference is clear.
The questioner : ... he wiped over them for Zuhr, for Asr...
The Shaykh : You leave, or else you move to another place.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : You speak, or you leave. Now, what is the question?
