It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed masah (wiping) over the leather socks. But those people who think that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed masah before or after the revelation of Surah Al-Ma'idah, now ask them, by Allah! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not perform masah over the leather socks after the revelation of Surah Al-Ma'idah, and even in the wilderness, I prefer to wipe over the back of a camel rather than perform masah over the leather socks. Benefit: This is the personal opinion of Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), otherwise, from the statements of the majority of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), it is known that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed masah over the leather socks after the revelation of Surah Al-Ma'idah.
