How to wipe over the socks
Wiping over socks is a technique used in the Islamic ritual purification called Wudu. It is a way of cleansing certain parts of the body during Wudu without having to fully remove the socks. Here are the steps to wipe over the socks:

Make the intention to perform Wudu.

Wash the hands three times.

Rinse the mouth three times, making sure to gargle each time.

Clean the nose three times by sniffing water into it and blowing it out.

Wash the face three times, starting from the forehead and ending at the chin.

Wipe the entire head once, starting from the front and ending at the back.

Wash the arms three times, including the elbows.

Wipe over the socks instead of removing them. To do this, make a wet hand and run it over the top of the socks and the feet.

Wash the feet three times, including the ankles.

End the Wudu by making the intention to finish and saying "As-Salamu Alaykum" (Peace be upon you).

It's important to note that wiping over the socks is only permissible in certain conditions, such as if the socks have been worn continuously since performing a previous Wudu and they are not made of any impure materials. Additionally, this technique is only valid for a specific time frame, usually less than 24 hours.
