Question: What is the maximum period; one can make masah (pass a wet hand) on Kuffain (leather socks)?

Answer: A traveller is allowed to make masah on leather socks for a maximum period of three days and three nights (72 hours). As for a non-traveller; the maximum period is one day and one night (24 hours).

This period of one day and night (24hours) or three days and three nights (72hours) will be calculated from the time the wudhu breaks and not from the time when the leather socks were worn.
