Some Rulings on Wiping over Leather Socks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
He says: If I wipe over the leather sock only, and I had worn it and worn a sock underneath it, then when I wanted to pray I took off the leather sock I had wiped over and prayed in the sock, what is the ruling in that?
Answer: If he has broken his ritual purity, he should not wipe at that time; because he removed the item over which he wiped, so the ablution is invalid. However, if he has not broken his ritual purity, but rather took it off, and he only wiped over the leather sock as an ablution for a voluntary prayer, an ablution of renewal in which he had not broken his ritual purity, but it was merely an ablution of renewal in which he had not broken his ritual purity, then he wipes over the last sock that covers, if it is covering; because his purity on which he wore it remains intact, if the purity on which he wore the sock and the leather sock remains intact, then he performed an ablution, meaning: a renewal, not due to breaking ritual purity, but merely for renewal and freshness, then he wipes over the sock he wore while in a state of purity. As for if he has broken his ritual purity, then he removes it at that time and renews his purity, then he wears it afterwards if he wishes.
The presenter: Then he says: What is the ruling if he removes both of them?
The Shaykh: If he removes both of them, then the ablution is invalid if he has broken his ritual purity. As for if he has not broken his ritual purity, and he is in his original state of purity on which he wore the sock and the leather sock, then his purity remains valid as it is; removing the sock and the leather sock does not invalidate it; because he has not broken his ritual purity. Yes.
The presenter: Then he says: Is it valid to wipe for two or three obligatory prayers, then remove them when sleeping, and renew the purity from the next day?
The Shaykh: There is nothing wrong with it. It is not obligatory to keep them on for a day and a night. It is not obligatory. If he wears the leather socks and wipes over them for one or two obligatory prayers, then removes them, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
