Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : His EminenceThe Shaykh : Does wiping over the leather socks in travel extend beyond three days?
The Shaykh : It is established in the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that wiping for the traveler is for three days without restriction, and it is reported from the Messenger (may Allah’s prayer and peace be upon him) that he would wipe as long as he wished, but the correct view is the first one, which is that it is restricted to three days for the traveler and one day and one night for the resident, unless there is a dire necessity, such as being in a cold country where one fears that if he removes the socks or leather socks, his toes will fall off or he will be in pain; in that case, there is nothing wrong with him continuing.
