A man wore leather socks, then the time limit for wiping over them ended while he was still in a state of ablution. Is he required to perform ablution?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : If a man wears leather socks while in a state of purity, and then the time limit for wiping over them ends while he is still in a state of ablution, some jurists say that he is required to wash his feet, while others say that he remains in his state of ablution as long as he does not break it. Which of these is the more correct?
The Shaykh : The latter opinion is the correct one. He remains in his state of ablution as long as he does not break it. That is, the expiration of the time limit does not invalidate the ablution except by one of the things that invalidate ablution. Similarly, removing the item over which one wipes does not invalidate the ablution except by one of the things that invalidate ablution.
