In order to be allowed to wipe over one’s socks, they have to have been put on at the same time, after completing wudoo’ or ghusl

Question: 2172

What is the ruling
concerning a man who washes his right foot and puts his right sock on before he washes his
left foot? Is it permissible for him to wipe over his socks?

Answer

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.

You cannot wipe over your socks in this case, because you put the first sock on before completing the act of purification (wudoo’ or ghusl).
