Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Are there conditions for wiping over leather socks, such as the socks being thick, or any other conditions? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Yes, there must be conditions:
The first is that one must be in a state of ritual purity when putting them on; this is necessary.
The second is that they must cover ... from the ankles to the tips of the toes, covering them.
Third, they must be pure.
Fourth, they must be permissible; they must not be stolen. It is necessary that they be something permissible.
So the conclusion is: if they are covering, pure, and permissible during the day and night, there is nothing wrong with wiping over them. However, if they were put on without being in a state of ritual purity, no, you take them off. Or if they are ritually impure, you take them off. Or if they are stolen, you take them off and give them to their owners. Or if they are thin and do not cover, or if they are torn with many holes, then you do not wipe over them. But if there is a small tear, or small, minor tears, then the correct view is that it is excused, if Allah wills. Yes.
