It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muawiyah bin Hudaij (may Allah be pleased with him) that I came to Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) and sought permission to enter. The attendants said to me: Stay in your place, he will come here. I sat near his door. He came out, called for water, performed ablution, and then wiped over his leather socks. So I said: O Commander of the Faithful! Is wiping over the leather socks after urinating? He replied: It is permissible to wipe over the leather socks after urinating or after anything else that breaks ablution.
