“Wudhu Socks Lite”
Question
I am writing to ask whether the “Wudhu Socks Lite” are valid to use as Khuffain. The packaging states that they are 100% waterproof, breathable, durable, ultra-thin socks, and that they are intended as an alternative to conventional leather socks/Khuffain. Please advise whether these are a suitable substitute for the Khuffain, and if it is permissible to make Masah on it.
Answer
We have reservations regarding the queried socks as we haven’t personally tested it. The safest option is to wear the leather socks.
