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

 <\/p>\n

If I wish to put on thick lotion on my feet after wudhu, can I wear khuffain \/ leather \/wudhu socks on top and wipe over them for the next few wudhu’s to avoid having to wash the lotion on my feet? <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Would my wudhu be valid if I\u2019m wearing the socks solely for the purpose of not having to wash the feet lotion?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

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

\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The wearing of khuff i.e. leather socks is permissible in Islam if some conditions are met:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A person must perform wudu before wearing the socks.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. The socks worn are made of thick material such as leather or thick material and water cannot go through.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. If you are not a traveller, you can wipe over your socks for 24 hours after which you would need to remove them and perform wudu again before wearing them. If a person is a traveller, he can wipe over these socks for 72 hours<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    There is no intention required for doing masah on your khuff so therefore whatever reason a person has worn them for, be it to avoid washing the lotion of one\u2019s feet or for comfort etc it is permissible providing the conditions are met.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Therefore, it is permissible to wear socks for the sole purpose of not having to wash off the lotion form the feet, and the wudu will be valid.<\/span><\/p>\n
