Wiping over leather socks and its duration
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We return to a message sent by a questioner to the program. He says in this question: I am of Egyptian nationality and work in the Eastern Region. He says: I observe some people wiping over their socks—meaning what is worn on the foot—during the ablution. What is the ruling on that, and what are the circumstances and conditions for wiping over the socks?
Answer:
There is no harm in wiping over the socks; because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wiped over the socks, and the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) wiped over them. The socks are what is made for the feet from wool, cotton, or other materials, provided they cover the foot and the ankle. So there is no harm; one wipes over them for one day and one night for the resident after a state of ritual impurity, and for three days and their nights for the traveler.
This is how the Sunnah came from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): the resident wipes for one day and one night, starting from his wiping after the state of ritual impurity, the first wiping after the state of ritual impurity; this is the starting point. And for the traveler, it is three days and their nights, starting from the wiping after the state of ritual impuity, the first wiping; until he completes the period of three days. The socks are like the leather socks; the leather sock is made of leather, for example, and the sock is made of wool, cotton, and the like. So just as one wipes over the leather sock, one wipes over the sock, provided each of them covers the foot and the ankles, for one day and one night for the resident if he put them on while in a state of ritual purity, and for three days and their nights for the traveler if he put them on while in a state of ritual purity. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
