Is it permissible to perform wudu’ (ritual ablution) while wearing shoes and wipe over the shoes or over the socks, particularly when I am in a remote area away from home and mosques?
It is permissible to wipe over socks according to the Hanbilite scholars contrary to the position of the Malikites who do not permit wiping except over socks made of leather. Anyway this is permissible and there in no sin insha’Allah.
