The Ruling on Wiping Over Socks After Removing Them Before the Time Limit Expires

Is it permissible to remove the socks after performing the five obligatory prayers for the one who wipes over them for a day and a night? And when they become dirty, is it valid for me to change them before completing the prayers and continue wiping over them? The purpose of my question is to rest my feet when sleeping, and that is after performing all the obligatory prayers, starting from the Fajr prayer until the Isha prayer, and the period between Isha and Fajr is rest. We ask you to inform us of this, and may Allah grant you success?
Answer: It is prescribed for the believer to wipe for a day and a night if he is resident, and for three days and their nights if he is traveling, as established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the hadith of 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) , where the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: , and similarly it came in other hadiths from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The start of the time is after the state of ritual impurity; if he wipes after the state of ritual impurity, that is the start. So if he breaks his wudu in the morning, for example, then performs wudu for the Zuhr prayer and puts them on, then wipes for the 'Asr prayer, he continues until the next 'Asr. When the next 'Asr comes, he removes them and washes his feet before 'Asr, then puts them on after that, then wipes for a day and a night after that.
As for if he removes them for rest, for example, he puts them on after Zuhr while in a state of purity, then wipes over them after 'Asr, then wipes after Maghrib and Isha, then removes them after Isha to sleep, he washes his feet when he gets up for Fajr, and does not put them on except in a state of purity. He washes his feet, performs the wudu for prayer, and washes his feet, then puts them on in a state of purity, so he wipes over them after that in the morning if he prays the morning prayer, or wipes over them for Zuhr or 'Asr, like this, a day and a night again, and so on.
And if he removes them after breaking his wudu, the ruling of wiping is invalidated, so he has no right to put them back on except in a new state of purity. He performs wudu then puts them on in a new state of purity, and does not put them on in a state of purity that preceded the removal. No, whenever he removes them, the ruling of wiping is invalidated until he performs a new wudu, then puts them on after the new wudu. For this reason, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed wudu and he had two leather socks on, and he wanted to wipe over them, and al-Mughirah wanted to remove them, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: , and it came from him (peace and blessings be upon him): , and similarly it came in the hadith of Safwan ibn 'Asal (may Allah be pleased with him) , he said: . So the believer wipes for three days and their nights in travel, and wipes for a day and a night in residence, but not in a state of major ritual impurity. As for major ritual impurity, no, removal is necessary until he washes his feet in the state of major ritual impurity. Yes.
