Brother Muadh

According to a fatwa i possess [and probably everyone also] a fatwa from Mufti Taqi Uthmani:

the conditions are:

a] water proof i.e. water should not seep through them

b] so thick they can stand upright without having to tie them

c] possible to walk in them in continuously for at least 3 miles.

p.s. i seen this fatwa on akimam.org, muftisays.com and daruliftaa.com

so once again i have to agree with Mufti Saheb.

Br Muadh, when you said that the normal average Leather socks do not stand upright, just to tell you i have 3 pears of Khuffs all ranging from prices and quality and after i had zipped them....they stood upright.

if you have a pair try it out.

Asslamo Allaikum,

This is the fatwa of Hadhrat Soofi_saheb's teacher:

http://www.askimam.org/fatwa/fatwa.p...f63c93bfc377de

Allamah ‘Ala al-Din al-Haskafi in his al-Durr al-Mukthar mentions the conditions of making masah on thick non-leather socks as:

1) One is able to walk one farskh (3 Shar’ee miles) in them.

2) The socks cling to the feet without having to tie with anything.

3) The socks are not transparent.

4) The water does not seep through while making masah.

For the socks to be waterproof and be able to stand like shoes on floor are not conditions for permissibility of masah.

If the above mentioned conditions are found in sealskin socks, then it will be permissible to make masah on them.

Cheap Kuffs with thin leather (zipped or unzipped) DO NOT and CAN NOT stand on their own.

P.S: Mufti Taqi Usmani's father Mufti Shafe Saheb (RA) discuss the matter in detail in Jawahirul-Fiqh; I would love for someone to quote it.
