The Start of the Time for Wiping over Leather Socks

Question:
A message was received by the program from one of the brothers in North Yemen. At the end of it, it says: The professor: Salah Tahir Abu Ghanam, a Palestinian working in North Yemen. In one of his questions, he says: As we know regarding wiping over leather socks, it is permissible for a resident to wipe for one day and one night, meaning: five prayer times. The question is: When does the time for wiping begin? Does it begin from putting on the socks? Or does it begin from the start of the wiping?

Answer:
The correct view is that it begins from the wiping after the state of ritual impurity. If you put them on while in a state of ritual purity, and then you break your purity by urinating, passing wind, or something else, and then you perform wudu, that first wudu is the starting point. So, if you break your purity, for example, after the midday prayer, and then you perform wudu for the afternoon prayer, the wudu for the afternoon prayer is the first thing. So, when the second afternoon prayer comes, you take them off.
And likewise, if you break your purity in the morning, and you wipe over the socks after the purity of the midday prayer, the starting point is the midday prayer. So, when the midday prayer comes tomorrow, you take them off, and you perform wudu for the midday prayer, and so on. The beginning is from the wiping after the state of ritual impurity, in the purity that follows the state of ritual impurity, the first time you put them on. Yes.
