Zubayd bin Salat narrates that I heard Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) saying: "When a person performs ablution and puts on leather socks, he can wipe over them and perform prayer. If he wishes, he does not need to remove them, except in the state of major impurity (janabah), in which case the ruling is different."

The same narration is also transmitted with another chain from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). The narrator named Ibn Sa‘id states: "To my knowledge, only Asad bin Musa has narrated this hadith."

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a person performs ablution and puts on his socks, he can pray in them. He may wipe over them, and if he wishes, he does not need to remove them, except in the case of major ritual impurity (janabah), for which the ruling is different."

Abdur Rahman bin Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates from his father regarding the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) that he granted permission to the traveler for three days and three nights, and to the resident for one day and one night. "When he puts on the leather socks while in a state of ablution, the permission is that he may wipe over both socks during ablution." This narration is also transmitted with some other chains of transmission.

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "If the rulings of religion were based on opinion, then the bottom part of the leather socks would have been more deserving (of wiping) than the upper part, but I saw the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) wiping over the upper part."

Imam Zaid, on the authority of his father, on the authority of his grandfather, narrates the statement of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed me regarding wiping over the leather socks: "Wipe over the leather socks."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to wipe over the bandage. This narration is not authentic regarding its being marfu‘. Its narrator Abu ‘Ammarah is very weak.

It is narrated about Ibrahim al-Nakha'i, Alqamah, and Aswad that regarding a person who performs ablution and wipes over his socks, then removes them, both of them said: "He will wash his feet."
