“Jawrab refers to socks made of cotton or wool.”
(Dars-e-Tirmidhi, 1/334)
Khadim Hussain Shujaabadi (Deobandi) writes:
“Thick fabric socks are also treated as khuffayn (leather socks), because leather is not a condition for socks to be valid for masḥ (wiping). The narrations regarding wiping over socks have reached the level of tawātur (mass transmission).”
(Fadl al-Wudūd, Taqrīr Sunan Abī Dāwūd, p. 119)
Abdul Haq Haqqani Dehlavi (Deobandi) writes:
“If someone (whether on a journey or at home) does not wash his feet but instead performs masḥ (wiping) over the socks, it is sufficient, because the proof of this has clearly reached us from the Prophet ﷺ. In fact, the majority of the Hadith scholars have considered the Hadiths regarding masḥ as mutawātir. The Aṣḥāb Sittah (authors of the six major Hadith books) have narrated it…”

Muhammad Qasim Nanotwi (Deobandi) said about the book:
“I have examined it from beginning to end. Truly, I have never seen or heard of such a book in this language. The excellence of its content is a testament to the author’s scholarly mastery.”
Anwar Shah Kashmiri (Deobandi) stated:
“I have studied it in many places. This book is unparalleled in its subject matter.”
Mufti Kifayatullah Dehlavi (Deobandi) said:
“Due to the author's broad vision, mastery in the field, and evident scholarly strength, the aforementioned book has been declared excellent and of the highest rank. Scholars have appreciated it, written commendatory prefaces, and it became widely accepted. It was printed several times during the author’s lifetime.”
