The Description of Women's Socks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A message was received by the program from one of the female listeners, who indicated her name with the letter (A) from Riyadh. She has a number of questions, among which is one that says: What is the ruling on wearing white socks for covering? And is it required in the hijab to cover the feet with black socks? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer: Socks, whether they are black, green, or red, are permissible. A woman wears socks that cover her feet, and if the socks do not attract attention, that is better, such as black socks or others that do not have dye that attracts attention and causes them to shine. The point is that the socks should not have anything that attracts attention and should be covering, so that she can wipe over them if she performs ablution for a day and a night in the case of a resident, and for three days and their nights in the case of a traveler, just like a man. And if there are socks specifically for men, the woman does not wear them, but I do not know of socks that are specific to men; socks are shared. I do not know of anything specific in them.
The presenter: ... made, O Shaykh, it seems that in recent times it was made ...
The Shaykh: No, if something is found that is specific to men, the woman leaves it, and if something is specific to women, the man leaves it; due to the authentic hadith that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Allah has cursed the woman who wears the clothing of men, and the man who wears the clothing of women.” Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good. She asks specifically about the white ones for covering, O Shaykh, regarding women?
The Shaykh: There is no harm in white ones if they are not in a form that is specific to men. If the white ones or non-white ones are in a form that is specific to men, the woman does not wear them. But if they are not in a form that resembles men, there is no blame on her.
