Wiping over a sock atop a sock is permitted, and over a jarmūq atop a sock if he wore it before ḥadath.

From the editors

1.

It is required that no minor impurity (hadath) occurs before and after wearing the sock and before wearing the Jarmuq. As such, if one wears the sock in a state of purity and then nullifies their ritual purity before putting on the Jarmuq, it is not permissible to wipe over the Jarmuq, whether it is worn before wiping over the sock or after. This is because the state of impurity is considered established once the Jarmuq is worn. If one removes the Jarmuq after wiping over the socks, one must wipe over the socks again because wiping over the Jarmuq does not count as wiping over the socks. See: al-Tabyīn 1: 52, Niḥāyat al-Murād p. 187, Sharḥ al-Wiqāyah p. 114, among others.

2.

Jarmūq: a type of footwear worn over the sock, with a shaft shorter than that of the sock. See: al-ʿInayah 1: 155, and Nihayat al-Murad p. 386. It is what is now called a shoe. The jarmuq is most similar to modern winter boots.
