Wiping over Cotton Socks During Hajj
Dear brothers/ sisters, I have a very personal issue and would really appriciate if you do not post this question on your website. I went for Hajj this year with some family members. I was doing hajj-e-badal for my mother. We went for Tawaf-e-Ziarat on the 11th of Zilhaj. We got of the bus near the Haram and it was time for Fajr Nimaz to start. Before leaving Mina, I had done wadoo but was not in state of wadoo at that time (passed gas). In a hurry to join the prayer, I did wadoo on the footpath. I was wearing thick cotton socks and my companions said it was OK to do massah over them. I was a little unsure but was stupid enough to submit to the pressure. I did the wadoo but only mussah on my feet, offered Nimaz and did Tawwaf and Saee. To be on the safe side, I gave a Dum for any unknown mistake I might have committed unknowingly in Hajj (sheep or lamb). After comming back I read it was not OK to do mussah over cotton socks according to some Ulema. If that is the case, I was not is wadoo for the Tawaf and tawaf would not be valid. What is the penalty. Is it Dum of a sheep or a camel? I did tawaf-e-wida on the 13th (not a day of Nahr). I am a married woman and have since then had a normal relationship with my husband. I friend of mine thinks I might still be in a state of Ihram and may be committing a sin in my relationship with my husband. Please advice as soon as possible. I am on the verge of getting a nervous breakdown.
