Q 2:
Is it permissible to wipe over the Khuffs (leather socks) without an excuse,
whether cold weather or illness, but just for being unable to take them off?
A:
It is permissible to wipe over the Khuffs if they cover the feet (Part No. 4; Page No. 100) and the ankles, and you wear them after performing Wudu' (ablution), even if it is not cold. The wiping period is a day and a night for a resident, and three days and nights for a traveling person. And Allah knows best.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
