The Duration of Wiping over Leather Socks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says, “O His Eminence the Shaykh! Tell us, may Allah preserve you, about wiping over the leather socks: when does it begin and when does it end?”
Answer:
Wiping over the leather socks is a recommended practice (sunnah), and the same applies to socks. If one puts them on while in a state of ritual purity, the wiping begins from the state of ritual impurity after the wearing. If he becomes ritually impure, he wipes over them for one day and one night if he is a resident, and for three days and their nights if he is a traveler, provided the sock covers the required area and the leather sock covers the required area. He puts them on while in a state of ritual purity and wipes over the leather socks and socks for one day and one night if he is a resident, starting from the state of ritual impurity if he becomes impure after wearing them. He becomes impure by passing wind, urination, or defecation; this is the starting point. After that, the period of one day and one night begins if he is a resident. As for the traveler, it is three days and their nights. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
