Wiping Over Thin Socks

Fatwa by: Former Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, Sheikh Ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him)

Question:


What is the ruling on wiping over thin socks?

Answer:

The condition for wiping over socks is that they must be thick and covering. Wiping over thin socks is not permissible because wearing thin socks is considered akin to having bare feet.
