Wiping over sheer compression stockings is not permissible according to most scholars unless they are worn for medical reasons. In such cases, a person may wipe over them entirely as they would a cast. Alternatively, they may wear thick socks over them and wipe the outer layer during Wudu.

The view of the majority of scholars is that it is not allowed to wipe over thin socks, and that the permissibility of wiping over socks is limited to thick socks.

Some of the scholars regarded it as permissible to wipe over the Khuff even if it does not cover the ankles; this is the view of Ibn Hazm and was narrated from Al-Awza`i. Other scholars disallow that, as is the view of the jurists of the four Schools of Fiqh.
