What is the ruling on wiping over a short sock that does not cover the area of Wudu, knowing that it was worn over another long sock, and both were worn after performing Wudu?
The condition for wiping over socks is that they must cover the area of obligation, which extends from the toes to the ankles. If one sock is worn over another before the state of ritual impurity () and both are sound, it is permissible to wipe over either of them.
However, if one of the socks is short or torn and the other is sound (the fourth case: the upper one is short and the lower one is sound), it is permissible to wipe over the upper one, or over the lower one by inserting the hand under the upper one to wipe. If the upper one is removed, the lower one must also be removed.
It is permissible to wipe over a short sock worn over a long, covering sock, provided you remove them both together.
