Is it permissible to intentionally wear leather socks over a state of ritual purity in order to wipe over them?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Intentionally wearing leather socks over a state of ritual purity so that one may wipe over them.

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : And regarding Ibn Hazm, he considers this permissible, and there is no harm in it. So you as well, my Shaykh, I think you hold that there is no harm in it.

The Shaykh : There is no harm in it, even though there is a contradiction in your statement. You hold that view, and there is no harm in it; likewise, there is no harm in it.

The questioner : Yes, that is right.

The Shaykh : I understood what my statement means.

The questioner : Your statement is clear, but I did not understand what the contradiction is. I mean, it is a verbal contradiction.

The Shaykh : Are you the preacher above or below?
The student : No, by Allah, I am below, my Shaykh.

The questioner : The previous point
Three whom the angels do not approach: the one in a state of major ritual impurity, the drunkard, and the one who has applied perfume. ثلاثة التي لا تقربهم الملائكة : الجنب ، والسكران ، والمتضمِّخ بالخلوق
, if there is some detail regarding the issue of joining the one in a state of major ritual impurity with the drunkard, I told you that it does not harm, meaning it does not necessitate prohibition, meaning it is possible to join a disliked act with a forbidden act. May Allah reward you with good, my Shaykh.
