Wearing leather socks before completing ritual purity, then performing ablution and praying: Is he obligated to repeat the prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Citing the hadith, what is the wording of the "wa" (and)?
The Shaykh : Which one?
The questioner : He performed ablution and wore them.
The Shaykh : Yes, but his statement "when he performs ablution" is not accurate, for one is not considered to have performed ablution until it is completed.
The questioner : What is weak in the reasoning now?
The Shaykh : No, in any case. We said now, in any case, that we said we would not dare to obligate a person to repeat his prayer if he did this act. But we order him not to do this, and we say: instead of wearing them, wait one minute until you wash the left foot and then wear them. It is also better for you not to wear them until your feet are dry, because if you wear them immediately, the foot enters while wet, and it will be cold for you, or will it not be cold? It will cool down, and perhaps a bad smell will occur, is that not so? Yes. So it is better for you to wait.
The questioner : The foot gets covered.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : I say it gets covered. I say the foot gets covered!
The Shaykh : This is not valid. Even if he covers it, he has no need to cover his foot, unless a person has a wound on his toes, he covers them to soften them, perhaps.
The questioner : I say it is a cause for a smell.
The Shaykh : Yes, yes, the smell. I said, and it is not covered.
The Shaykh : Which one?
The questioner : He performed ablution and wore them.
The Shaykh : Yes, but his statement "when he performs ablution" is not accurate, for one is not considered to have performed ablution until it is completed.
