Well, it holds true and so in this cold weather, I would like to share an answer to a question that is asked by many. And that are the details about wiping over socks during ablution.
According to the majority of scholars, wiping over socks is a general dispensation given to Muslims during ablution. There are various hadiths reported in this regard. It is reported on the authority of Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) to the effect that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) dispatched a garrison to some destination; its soldiers got cold. When they returned and complained to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this, he (peace and blessings be upon him) advised them to “wipe over their head covers and foot covers too.” “Foot covers” applies to socks and any covering used to protect feet against cold, etc.
