The question text was not published separately; the title stands in for it.

Is it ok to do masah over tights, one piece undergarment garment covering from feet to waist for women, as it is inconvenient to take off tights whenever doing wudhoo, please clarify.

Answer

If the tights are thin and water easily seeps through them, and the feet are washed, then that is sufficient.

It is not permissible to merely make Masah on the tights. If the tights are thick and water cannot seep through easily, then the tights have to be removed and the feet have to be washed.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
