\nAnswered by Maulana Ateiq-ur Rehman<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Question:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I wanted to ask a question, actually it may be a few questions but it’s regarding the same thing.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The question is regarding Khuffain and Jawrabain<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To clarify, I am Hanafi.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have been checking online too and I have also tried to find the same from fiqh books and my questions still remain.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The issue:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I want to do Masah over my socks at work, it’s quite difficult having to take my socks and shoes off to do wudhu and wash my feet in the sink.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I know socks being leather is not a condition in the Hanafi school and they merely have to be thick, they also don’t necessarily have to be waterproof if I understand correctly.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now my question is, what does it mean in the texts that socks should not allow water to pass through? If the texts say that? They say it doesn’t have to be waterproof but also say water shouldn’t pass through immediately?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Does that mean water doesn’t pass through when water is literally poured over?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Or does it mean water does not pass through when merely wiped with a wet hand.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Because if it is the second, there are thick socks I can buy from stores which are so thick that I am able to walk in them for miles without ripping, but they would let water pass through if I was to literally pour water over them, but they will not let water pass through all the way to my skin if I merely wiped.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Would Masah on such socks be permissible?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do they have to be waterproof?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Just to add, I have ordered SealSkinz socks but these cost about \u00a316 for 1 pair of socks.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And these others which are thick which are not waterproof, I can get about 5 pairs for about the same price.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer<\/b>:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To briefly answer your question about Khuffain and Jowrabain, according to the Hanafi school of thought, it is permissible to do masah on both Khuffain (leather sock) and Jowrabain (thick socks) as long as the conditions are met:<\/span><\/p>\n
