وَعَنْ عُمَرَ (مَوْقُوفًا) و]عَنْ] أَنَسٍ مَرْفُوعًا-

«إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ أَحَدُكُمْ وَلَبِسَ خُفَّيْهِ فَلْيَمْسَحْ عَلَيْهِمَا، وَلْيُصَلِّ فِيهِمَا، وَلَا يَخْلَعْهُمَا إِنْ شَاءَ إِلَّا مِنْ جَنَابَةٍ»

“If one of you performs ablution and puts on his two leather socks, let him perform Mash (wipe) over them and pray in them and he may not take them off he so wishes except after ejaculation or sexual impurity.”

What it means

What it teaches

• It is impermissible to wipe over leather socks unless they are worn after complete ritual purification.
• The prescribed wiping period for the resident is: one day and one night, and for the traveler: three days with their nights.
• Wiping over leather socks is restricted to minor, not major, Hadath (ritual impurity). In the case of major Hadath, wiping is impermissible; rather, one must take off the leather socks and wash the feet.
• It is recommended to pray while having shoes on, leather socks, and the like by way of opposing the Jews, in case they are pure and bear no harm for those praying or for the mosque, like the mosques that have carpets, in which case one should not pray while having them on.
• Wiping over leather socks entails facilitation and alleviation for this Ummah.
