Hanafi Fiqh
Answered by Ustadh Tabraze Azam
Question: Assalamu Alaikum,
Is it valid to wipe over leather khuffs if they’re worn over cotton socks?
Answer:Wa alaikum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
I pray that you are in the best of health and faith, insha’Allah.
Yes, it is permitted to wear footgear (khuffs) over a pair of ordinary socks. [ShaykhiZada, Majma` al-Anhur fi Sharh Multaqa al-Abhur; Ibn `Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar `ala al-Durr al-Mukhtar]
It is not a condition for the footgear to be worn directly over the feet, without a barrier.
