99. Al-Mughīrah bin Shu‘bah
narrated: "The Prophet ﷺ performed Wudū and wiped over his socks and sandals." (Ḍā'if)
Abū 'Eisā said: This Ḥadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ.
It is the opinion of more than one of the people of knowledge. It is the view of Sufyān Ath-Thawrī, Ibn Al-Mubārak, Ash-Shāfi'ī, Aḥmad and Ishaq. They say that one may wipe over the socks even if they are not soled, when they are thick.
[He said:] There is also a narration on this topic from Abū Mūsā.
[Abū 'Eisā said: I heard Ṣāliḥ bin Muḥammad At-Tirmidhī say: "I heard Abū Muqātil As-Samarqandī say: 'I entered upon Abū Ḥanīfah during the illness that he died from. He called for water to perform Wudū' with while wearing socks. So he wiped over them, then he said: "Today I do something that I did not do (before); I wipe over socks while they are not soled."']

Commentary
According to the majority of the A'immah i.e., Imām Mālik, Shāfi'ī, Aḥmad and the two disciples of Imām Abū Ḥanīfah, if the socks are thick, with thick weaving, then wiping over them is allowed. First, Imām Abū Ḥanīfah used the condition of the socks being Mujallad (leather on the bottom) or Muna-'al (leather on top and bottom); but later during the sickness in which he died,
he accepted the opinion of the other A'immah. It then became agreed upon that wiping over the socks is permissible.
