Because of this, he makes wudu at home and then, while at work, wipes over his socks instead of washing his feet. Someone told him that he could wipe over his shoes instead, since he sometimes loses his balance in the bathroom and it is a public restroom. What is the ruling on wiping over socks or shoes during wudu?\\n\"}]}","answer":"{\"ops\":[{\"insert\":\"If he makes a complete wudhu at home, including washing his feet, and then puts on socks that meet the conditions for wiping (search for \\\"wudhu socks\\\" or \\\"khuff socks\\\" to find suitable options), or wears shoes or boots that fully cover the ankles, he may then renew his wudhu throughout the day by wiping over the socks or footwear, without needing to wash his feet each time. However, once he has wiped over the footwear, he may not remove it for the duration of the period in which the wiping is valid, whether that is the specialized wudhu socks or his shoes or boots, even while praying.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe40b76658b4c232837","tag":"Tahara: Wudu","count":117},{"_id":"668da0040b76658b4c232be8","tag":"Khuff","count":5}],"createdOn":"2026-03-16T21:16:31.718Z"}
