Ruling on Wiping Over Socks

Question
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.
