Is it true that you can keep wudu by wearing socks and doing masah over them?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
I live in London and travel quite frequently, sometimes two to three times a month. Someone told me that if you are travelling and you do wazu and put on socks it kind of locks up the wazu on your feet. And next time when you do wazu, you dont need to wash your feet but just do MASSAH over the socks. Is this true. And if it is, are there some special socks or any type of socks will be ok. Would really appreciate your response on this. Jazak Allah

Answer

(Fatwa: 1131/861/L=1431)

The ruling of masah on socks is related to particular type of socks. It is not applicable on prevalent woollen, cotton or nylon socks.
