Is it derived from the hadith that it is a condition that one not wipe over the other sock except after putting on the second one?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it derived from the hadith that it is a condition that one not wipe over the other sock except after putting on the second one?

The Shaykh : How is it that one does not wipe?

The questioner : Or that one does not wash the second one... that it is a condition to insert both together or remove both together? If one inserts the right one, it is not permissible except after washing...

The Shaykh : I mean, are you asking if there is evidence that it is a condition to put them on while in a state of complete purity, and that if one washes the right foot, then puts on the sock, then washes the left foot, it would not be valid? Is that your question? What do you say?

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : Yes?

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : Yes, but the discussion is about this hadith.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : Does it indicate this? Okay. There is actually a disagreement on this: does the phrase distribute to every individual in what it corresponds to? Or does the phrase distribute to every individual in what corresponds to it and to the total to which it corresponds? There is a disagreement among the scholars on this.
Some say:
He put them in while they were pure أدخلتهما طاهرتين
meaning I put on each one while in a state of purity, so we have a descriptor and a described, the descriptor.

The questioner : Pure.

The Shaykh : Pure, the described are the two feet, so is the meaning that I put them on after both were characterized by purity, or after each one of them was characterized by purity, yes?

The questioner : It is possible...

The Shaykh : It is possible this and that, the scholars differ on it, but we mentioned previously that the most cautious course is not to do it except after the completion of purity, because in some wordings in the Sunan:
If he performs wudu' and then puts on his socks, let him wipe over them إذا توضأ فلبس خفيه فليمسح عليهما
he said:
If he performs wudu' and then puts on إذا توضأ فلبس
, and the apparent meaning of this is that the completion of wudu' is necessary before putting them on. Yes? Fahd?
