Primary text

Wiping over sandals is permissible based on the Hadith mentioning wiping over socks and sandals. The practice of the Prophet (PBUH) indicates wiping was applied only to the straps (*siyūr*) covering the top of the foot. Wiping the sole or the heel area of the sandal is not legislated, just as it is not legislated for the *khuff*.
