Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy.
Shaykh, is wiping over the leather socks permissible in the ablution for prayer when traveling, or when putting them on, given that they are sometimes put on without ablution?
The Shaykh : Yes, if the leather socks are put on without ablution, it is not permissible to wipe over them. One of the conditions for the permissibility of wiping over the leather socks is that they be put on while in a state of ritual purity, and that this not be in a state of major ritual impurity, meaning janabah, but rather in a state of minor ritual impurity. Additionally, it must be within the specified time limit, which is one day and one night for a resident and three days for a traveler, beginning from the first time one wipes after the state of impurity.
