Ruling on Wiping Over Socks
Is it permissible to perform ablution by wiping over the socks due to the difficulty of washing the feet for those residing in Europe?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: If the socks are thick and do not allow water to pass through and the color of the skin is not visible through them, it is permissible to wipe over them; otherwise, it is not permissible. And God knows best.
