Answer:
Wudu socks
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
If
one has put the socks on when he was in the state of ‘wudu’, and then has to
refresh his ‘wudu’ later, he need not take off his socks and wash his
feet. The wiping of wet hands over the
socks would suffice for his ‘wudu’, as was the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah
(saws).
If has been
reported in an authentic narration from Said al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah, who said,
"I was with the Messenger of Allah (saws), one night during an
expedition. I poured water for him
(saws) to make ablution. He (saws) washed his face and arms and wiped his head.
Then I went to remove his socks and he (saws) said, 'Leave them on, as I put
them on while I was in a state of purity,' and he (saws) just wiped over
them."
Al-Humaidi related
in his Musnad that al-Mughirah reported, "We said, 'O Messenger of Allah
(saws), may we wipe over our socks?' He (saws) said, 'Yes, if you put them on
while you were in a state of purity."
It has been reported by Hammam an Nakha'i who said, "Jarir
ibn 'Abdullah urinated, performed ablution and wiped over his socks." It
was said to him, "You do that and you have urinated?" He said,
"Yes, I saw the Messenger of Allah (saws) urinate, and then do (wudu)
likewise."
In
light of the above and several other authentic narrations, it is permissible
for one to wipe his wet hands over his socks when refreshing his ablution, as
long as the condition is met that when he did put on the socks he was in a
state of ‘wudu’.
The
absolute majority of the scholars in Islam are of the opinion that one may
refresh their ‘wudu’ by wiping over their socks, regardless of the material
used to construct the socks. And Allah
Alone Knows Best.
Whatever
written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance,
and whatever of error is of me. Allah
Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
