Is wearing leather socks by a person in the state of ihram without cutting them the final ruling?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Kamil: May Allah reward you. Regarding wearing leather socks, as I understand it, we said that abrogation is not resorted to unless reconciliation is impossible. Reconciliation is clear here: does this specify the general ruling of that?
The Shaykh : No, the situation requires that reconciliation be impossible. The situation when the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was at 'Arafah was one where reconciliation was impossible.
The questioner : Kamil: Due to the large number of Muslims, I mean.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is the cause. I mean, if the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) had said it in the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas while preaching to the people in Madinah, we would have said it was restricted.
