My question is regarding the following hadith concerned with wiping over one's socks while in a state of taharah (purity):
Ibn Khuzayma said that according to Hadith narrated by Safwan Ibn ‘Assal, "the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered us to wipe over khuff if we put them on in a state of purification, for 3 days during travelling and for one day and night in residency "
My question is that can I assume the statement 'one day and one night' in the hadith to mean 24 hours, and if so can I put my socks on in a state of taharah on at ANY TIME and wipe over them when I do wudu as long as the total period of time I have them on for is 24 hours?
For example, can I put them on 11pm one day and wipe over them when I do wudu up until 11pm the following day?
Also please could you tell me exactly which area of the socks has to be wiped over? I know that it is not permissible to wipe over the soles of the socks but do we have to wipe the sides and the back of our socks as well as the front of the socks?
Please reply as this would make my life a lot easier and also because I have sensitive skin. My ignorance of the matter leads to a lot of waswas and dissatisfaction.
