The Ruling on Wiping over Leather Socks and Its Conditions
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We ask your Eminence to please clarify the rulings regarding wiping over socks. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Wiping over leather socks and socks is prescribed, provided that the leather sock covers the foot, the sock covers the foot, and both are worn while in a state of ritual purity. The leather sock must be made of leather, and the sock or stocking must be made of wool, hair, cotton, or something similar. If the stocking covers the foot, the leather sock covers the foot, and both are worn while in a state of ritual purity, then it is prescribed for him to wipe for one day and one night after breaking his state of purity, and after the wiping, while he is resident. For a traveler, it is three days and three nights. Thus, the resident wipes for one day and one night, and the traveler for three days and three nights, starting from the wiping after breaking his state of purity, provided that they were worn while in a state of ritual purity and that they are covering, whether they are leather socks or stockings. Very small holes, as known by custom, are excused—may Allah will it. Yes.
