If a man removes his sock after wiping over it and then wears it for another period, is he still in a state of ritual purity, and when does the period for wiping begin?

The questioner : The questioner says: “Your Eminence, the Shaykh, you mentioned the disagreement among scholars regarding the purity of one who removes his sock after wiping over it, and that the correct view is that he remains in a state of purity. But if he removes the sock after wiping and then wears it again, is he still in a state of purity? And if he is in a state of purity, when does the period for wiping begin?”

The Shaykh : Yes, if he removes the leather sock after wiping over it, he cannot put it back on and wipe over it again unless he has performed wudu. Because if it were permissible to put it back on after that, there would be no benefit to specifying the time limit. Therefore, we say: if he removes it after wiping, he does not put it back on unless he is in a state of complete purity with water.
