Sayyiduna Khuzaimah bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this about the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him): The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about wiping over the leather socks (khuffs), so he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: For the traveler, three days and three nights, and for the resident, one day is permitted for wiping.
