The questioner : If you please, what is the definition of the leather sock in this case, meaning if?
The Shaykh : Yes, the leather sock is anything worn on the foot, whether made of leather, linen, wool, or otherwise, to keep it warm, and it is considered a leather sock. However, the original definition is that the leather sock is what is made of leather, and the sock is what is made of other materials.
The questioner : Okay, is it required, O Shaykh, that it extends beyond the ankle?
The Shaykh : It is not a condition, except according to the author's statement. The author's statement is that it must cover the ankle, assuming the entire ankle is covered.
