sis i just want to make sure, when you say masaa' over the socks you do mean the type of leather socks in whicn you can walk in for miles without it wearing out right? and when you say masaa' you do understand that its for the repeat wudhu and not for the initial one right?

Can you do wudu (ablution) over plasters and bandages?
When does fear count?
Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani, SunniPath Academy Teacher
I often have to travel to smaller towns and have to pray in public (at a gas station or restaurant parking lot). in light of 9/11 and the fear of attack on Muslims, are there any dispensations if one generally fears harm during the prayer as regards to praying sitting in a car or making the prayer qadaa?
Walaikum assalam,
In general, "fear" is only given Shariah consideration if, as Ibn Abidin mentions, it is based on one of three things:
a) Past experience (of resulting harm);
b) Clear and manifest signs (that anyone would acknowledge);
c) Being informed by an expert, outwardly upright Muslim doctor in the case of the fear of sickness or physical harm.
This also applies to fear for one's health as related to fasting, the validity of tayammum for the sick person, wiping over bandages, and many other things as well.
General fears, however, are generally unfounded. If you pray sitting or delay your prayer without one of the 3 above bases for reasonable fear, then your prayer would not be valid, you would be sinful, and would need to repent (which includes the determination not to do that again) and repeat the prayer.
Wassalam,
Faraz Rabbani.
in sincere hopes of this helping you find your answer
assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah
PS: Ibn Abidin is one of Imam Abu Hanifa's greatest student
