Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it permissible to wipe over a sock that ends below the ankles?
The Shaykh : If the sock is below the ankles, the ruling depends on the scholarly disagreement regarding the school of jurisprudence. One view holds that it is not permissible because it must cover the obligatory area. The second view holds that it is permissible as long as it retains the name of a sock and the foot benefits from it; in that case, wiping over it is permissible.
