What is the ruling on wiping over the khuffain (leather socks) and performing Wudu' when there is a wound on a toe?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The organs of ablution must be washed completely. If there is a wound that is feared to be harmed by water, it should be wiped over if possible; otherwise, what can be washed should be washed, and tayammum (dry ablution) should be performed for the injured part. If the wound is covered with a bandage, it should be wiped over. As for wiping over the khuff (leather socks), if they are worn after a complete purification or a purification with wiping over a splint, then it is permissible to wipe over them for the legally specified period.
