If the leather sock is below the ankles, how does one wipe over it?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah bless you, if the leather sock is below the ankles, one wears a leather sock below the ankles.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Does he wipe over it?
The Shaykh : There is scholarly disagreement on this: some say one does not wipe over it because it was not originally made to be a leather sock, and they also cite the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 7:91.
And some say there is no harm in wiping over them, but what appears to me is that one does not wipe over this; rather, it must be a leather sock that covers the ankle. Then, if it has tears in it, that does not harm, because the original ruling is that wiping over it is permissible.

Whoever does not find two sandals, let him wear two leather socks and cut them off so that they are below the ankles.
من لم يجد نعلين فليلبس خفين وليقطعهما حتى يكونا أسفل من الكعبينAnd some say there is no harm in wiping over them, but what appears to me is that one does not wipe over this; rather, it must be a leather sock that covers the ankle.
