Making masah over three layers of socks

· 29 Jumada I 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I used leather socks before. Now I don't have leather socks so I wear three layers of normal socks which becomes even thicker than leather socks I used before. I do masaa on these socks as I use to do on leather socks during wudu for salah... I hope it's okay. And my wudu and salah are valid.

Answer

This is not valid for masah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
