Question:
What is the ruling on wiping over perforated socks?
Answer:
The size of the hole matters. If the hole is small, considered small by custom, then the correct view is that, if Allah wills, a small hole does not affect the validity of the wiping. This is because people may be afflicted with this, especially the poor. However, if it is a wide tear, he should not wipe over it. He must either sew it, patch the hole, or replace the socks. As for a small thing that has no significance and is considered a minor tear, it is excused, if Allah wills.
