Masah on the Khuff

Ma'zoor wearing leather socks

Q: Please explain the rules pertaining to leather socks for a female who is ma’zoor (and making wudhu for every salaah due to discharge) and whether she can make masah on the socks for an entire day or whether she has to remove the socks and wash her feet when every salaah time expires.

Leather socks

Q: I know masah can be permitted on socks made of leather. Suede is also Leather. I would assume it is permissible to be used for masah however there is one thing that I need clarification on before I start using it for masah purposes. The issue is that suede is not entirely waterproof. Water will eventually seep through if it becomes wet for more than 15 minutes. But I don't know if that matters as it is 100% leather. My question is can fully suede socks be used for masah purposes?

Inside of the leather socks becoming damp

Q: I used a leather Moza and it needed to be rinsed due to getting wet with dirty water. After rinsing it I removed it and found it to be damp on the inner side near the seems. I've read that Moza need to be water proof but I see the stitches don't allow that.

  1. Can this Moza still be used as all leather moza have stitches?
  2. Do I have to repeat all the Salaah that were performed after making masa in the Moza?
  3. If Salaah needs to be repeated, what must I do about those who read Salaah behind me as I don't know who some of them were?

Sealskinz socks

Q: Are sealskinz socks permissible to wear and be applied the same ruling as leather socks. i.e. is one able to do masaah over these? Do they meet the criteria of not being tied to oneself by any elastic used to manufacture these?

Seal skinz

Q: Can we wear the seal skin mozah. These socks are easier when travelling. Are all the conditions for masah on these socks found ?
