In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Kindly understand the ruling through the following example: a person performs complete wudu then wears his leather socks. Afterward, he breaks his wudu, so he performs wudu and wipes on his socks. Thereafter, while being in the state of wudu, if he merely removes his sock/socks, he will only have to wash his feet. It is not necessary to repeat the whole wudu.
