That is, is it preferable to take off your socks even if it is permissible for you to keep them on and wipe them instead?","answer":"There is no consensus on what is preferable. Some companions, such as Umar ibn al-Khattab and his son Abdullah, along with Shafi'i scholars, prefer washing. Others believe wiping is preferred. As a Shafi'i, I would advise you to wash if you do not need to wipe.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe40b76658b4c232837","tag":"Tahara: Wudu","count":117}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:41:37.842Z"}
