The Details of the Question
The doctor said I had to wear varicose socks for my health. However, these socks are very long, from my hips to my feet, like pantyhose worn by women. The ends of these socks are closed; what should I do when I have to make wudu outside? Is it permissible if I wipe (mash)? I have to wear those socks all day; what should I do?
The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
The special socks need to be worn by varicose patients are regarded like bandage over broken bones. Therefore, it is permissible to wipe over (mash) varicose socks.
Accordingly, it is permissible to wipe over varicose socks if a religious doctor who is a specialist says you have to wear them.
