Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Q&A Time Frame for Wiping Masah on Socks

			Is there
		

			a timeframe between doing Waldo
and putting on muscle socks?
		

			Previously? I prayed Salaat then
remembered I wanted to wear the
		

			socks or put them on. Is that
okay? Good question. So, so to
		

			understand this question, the best
thing to do first is to understand
		

			how my socks work, what's their
function in terms of the deal in
		

			terms of the jurisprudence of it,
what is their function, their
		

			function is that they act as a
barrier, they act as a barrier for
		

			the impurity to reach the feet.
When I say impurity, I'm talking
		

			about the state of impurity when a
person breaks, they will do
		

			nullifies they will do, their
whole body becomes impure, not
		

			physically, there's no physical
impurity necessarily on the body,
		

			just a state that you can't pray
will do with that state. So
		

			essentially, what what the socks
do the leather socks or the wudu
		

			socks do is they prevent that
impurity from going on to the
		

			feet. So this tells us a number of
things, number one,
		

			for if they're going to stop the
purity from going to the feet, it
		

			means that your feet can't be
impure, you can't be impure before
		

			you start, which means that if
you're not on wudu, there's no
		

			point putting them on, because
it's not going to prevent
		

			anything, because impurities
already on your feet, or in your
		

			feet as is in the rest of your
body as well. Right? So now since
		

			it's a barrier, that means it's
going to start working from when
		

			you have an impurity. So in your
question, when you're asking that,
		

			if I put it on after doing we'll
do an after my prayer, that would
		

			be completely fine. As long as you
haven't broken you will do. So
		

			essentially, they can be worn at
any time that you're on will do.
		

			And that will do could have
happened just before it or maybe
		

			an hour before it even 10 hours
before it if you can keep your
		

			will do for that long idea is that
you're in full purity before you
		

			put them on. So then they act as a
barrier. Because if you're already
		

			employed anyone works. So if you
do, then you make solid, then you
		

			put it on and you're still on
Hulu, then that's completely fine.
		

			You're you can do that. The time
of the 24 hours or 72 hours if
		

			you're a traveler starts from when
not from when you put it on, but
		

			from when you actually break your
will do because that's when it
		

			starts functioning. Because
remember its function is to
		

			prevent the impurity from
alighting on to the feet. That's
		

			why you just do masa and the
impurity gets lifted. So hopefully
		

			that's very clear.
