Section IV: How to Wipe Over Leather Socks
Firstly: Wiping over the bottom of the leather socks
The bottom of the leather socks is not wiped over. This is the position of the Hanafis, Hanbalis, Zahiris, and a group of the Salaf. It is also the choice of Ibn al-Mundhir, Ibn Baz, and Ibn `Uthaymin.
Secondly: Repeated wiping over them
It is makruh to wipe over leather socks more than once per purification. The majority [183] Hanafis have stated that it is not a sunnah. have explicitly mentioned this: Malikis, Shafi`is, and Hanbalis.
Thirdly: Right, left, or both together
The one wiping wipes his right first then the left. This is the position of the Malikis, Shafi`is, an opinion among the Hanbalis, and the choice of Ibn Baz.
