DAKY Socks - Wudu Compliance Information

Our DAKY socks have been rigorously tested, to the highest levels, to ensure they fulfil all the criteria laid down in Islamic jurisprudence (Shar’ia) for Mas’ah compatibly in ablution.

The Criteria;

1) They cover both the ankles entirely

2) They are durable enough that a person can walk with the Socks for three miles without them tearing. (We have personally walked more than three miles without a single tear)

3) Both Socks are independently free from holes to the extent of 3 small toes

4) The socks remain on the legs without being tied or fastened

5) They are such that water does not seep through them. (Our Socks are 100% waterproof).

Certification

Our DAKY Socks were tested, approved and officially certified by the Darul Ifta Department at the prestigious and well renowned Darul Uloom Al-Arabiyyah Al-Islamiyyah. Better known as Darul Uloom Bury, established in 1973 and is the oldest school of its kind in the United Kingdom.

The DAKY Wudu Socks Story

The idea for DAKY Socks began in 2015 when we realized the struggles of performing Wudu, especially in winter. Traditional leather Khuffain were uncomfortable, lacked breathability, and weren’t ideal for everyday wear. We saw the need for a modern, practical solution—leading to the creation of DAKY Wudu Socks.

Tested and approved by leading Islamic scholars, including Darul Uloom Bury, our socks provide a Shariah-compliant alternative designed for comfort, convenience, and reliability. While others may imitate, DAKY remains the original and most trusted choice for Wudu-compliant socks—because when it comes to quality, the right investment matters.

1) Prior to wearing the socks, do ensure that you are in a state of purity and make Wudu (ablution), if needed, without the socks.

2) After doing your Wudu (ablution), put on the DAKY socks. You will now be able to perform Wudu (Masah), If and when your Wudu is nullified; if you do not take off your socks within the stipulated time (72hrs for traveller, 24hrs for non-travellers).

3) When you need to make Wudu again, when you get to your feet;

a) Wet your hands with water,

b) Draw the fingers of the right hand on the upper surface of the Wudu Socks starting from the toes and ending (the Masah) at the foreleg (just above the ankle),

c) The Masah should be done once only on each sock. The right hand should be used for the right sock and the left hand for the left sock.

*if in doubt with the above please consult your local Scholar in the first instance.

Care Instructions:

Important:

Avoid puncturing the socks, as it may affect waterproofing.

Do not tumble dry, iron, or place on direct heat sources (e.g., radiators).

To dry, turn inside out and hang in a well-ventilated area overnight.

Taking care of your DAKY socks ensures they last longer and perform at their best.

Durability & Lifespan

DAKY Wudu Socks are highly durable, guaranteed not to tear even after 10 miles of continuous outdoor use without footwear. For Masah, the requirement is at least 3.5 miles without tearing, which DAKY socks exceed.

Lifespan:

The longevity of the socks depends on usage—low to moderate wear lasts longer, while high-intensity use may shorten their lifespan. Proper care is essential; incorrect washing or drying can damage the waterproof membrane. Follow care instructions to maximize durability.
