Explanation of the beginning of the time for wiping over leather socks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q51: The questioner asks: Is wiping over leather socks from the first state of ritual impurity after purification, or from the first wiping after the state of ritual impurity?
A51: There are two opinions among the scholars, and the stronger opinion, and Allah knows best, is that it is from the state of ritual impurity after wearing them while in a state of purity. This is because when he becomes ritually impure, the purity upon which he based his wearing of the socks transfers, so the wiping begins from this time, because it is the cause of the wiping; that is, the state of ritual impurity is the cause of the wiping.
