Do I need to perform masah on my leather socks after performing wudhu?
Question
When i do wudhu & wash my feet and wear leather socks and after that if i go for toilet and perform wudhu again within the day did i need to wash my feet again or simply perform masah
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
In principle, a muqeem (non-traveller) may perform masah on his leather socks up to a maximum of twenty-four hours.[1] The twenty-four hours are calculated from the first instance he broke his wudhu after wearing the leather socks.[2] In the enquired situation, it will suffice for you to make masah on the leather socks.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
