It is narrated from Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she submitted to the Messenger of Allah: "O Messenger of Allah! Should a man take off his leather socks (khuffs) every moment (for ablution)?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No; rather, he may keep wiping over them for as long as he sees fit." Umar bin Ishaq bin Yasar (may Allah have mercy on him) relates that he read this narration written in a book of Ata (may Allah have mercy on him).
