Question:
As-salaamu alaykum blessed servants of Allah!
What kind of socks can we wipe over? I was told I can wipe over cotton socks, and even if they have a small hole in them it is okay. Someone else said I can’t wipe over cotton socks, they have to be thick woollen socks! I have seen people wiping over sheer stockings too. Will be most grateful if you can clarify this issue for me.
May Allah reward you endlessly.
