If one wipes over a sock and wears another over it, and when the second prayer time arrives he wipes over the second one, is his prayer valid?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence, regarding another matter: if a person wears a sock and a shoe, then wipes over them, and then wears another shoe, and when the time for the second prayer arrives he wipes over the other shoe,
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : and he had put it on while in a state of ritual purity, then prayed, does he have to repeat his prayer?
The Shaykh : He does not have to repeat his prayer. The correct view is that this is permissible. That is, if he wears a shoe over a shoe that he has wiped over—meaning he wiped over the lower one—then let him wipe over the upper one, but this must be within the duration of the wiping, starting from the first wiping.
