389. It was narrated that Mughirah bin Shu'bah said: "The Prophet ﷺ went out to relieve himself and when he came back, I met him with a water skin and poured water for him. He washed his hands and his face, then he went to wash his forearms but his garment was too tight, so he brought his arms out from underneath his garment and washed them, then he wiped over his leather socks, then he led us in prayer." (Sahih)

Commentary
Accepting service from those younger than oneself is quite in order even if the service belongs to an area connected with the rituals of worship.
The Hadith proves the permissibility of Mash (wiping) on socks.
The rest of the parts must be washed even though one might find it somewhat difficult, as was done by the Prophet ﷺ when he washed his forearms, although he had difficulty removing his garment.
