The Ruling on Not Wearing Socks Immediately After Wudu

Question
Is it permissible to wear socks half an hour or an hour after performing wudu? And is it permissible to wipe over them, or do I need to wear them immediately after wudu for it to be permissible to wipe over them?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is not a requirement to wear the socks directly, but the condition is that they must be worn while in a state of ablution, so that it is permissible to wipe over them, and God knows best.
