Answer:
(Fatwa: 271/L=188/TL=1433)
We do not know the ruling of Hanbali Fiqh regarding the masah on nylon socks. You would better consult any Hanbali Mufti for the same. As far as the matter of masah over prevalent nylon or cotton socks is concerned, according to Hanafi Fiqh they do not carry the status of khuffain, hence masah is not right on these socks. In the book “Fiqhi Maqalat” written by Mufti Taqi Usmani Saheb there is a separate booklet, you may study it.
Note: We issue Fatwas only according to Hanafi Fiqh.
