His Guidance in Wiping Over Footwear
Authentic narrations state that he ﷺ wiped over his leather footwear while at home and travelling. He specified a limit of one day and night for residents to wipe over them, and three days and nights for travellers.
He ﷺ used to wipe over the upper part of the shoes or stockings. (He also wiped over the turban alone or along with the forehead.)
He ﷺ acted according to the condition of his feet: if he was wearing shoes or stockings he wiped over them, and if his feet were bare he washed them.
