Is it necessary to wear the socks with the intention of wiping over the khuffs immediately after ablution?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
For the validity of wiping over the khuffs or socks, it is a condition that they be worn after achieving complete purification, whether or not there was a prior intention to wear them, and whether they were worn immediately after purification or a long time after, provided that the purification remains. There is no harm in performing ablution for prayer and then wearing the socks afterward, as long as the purification remains.
