Question: 

If
I have on a khuf, and the zip opens up a little, say about 2cm , does my Wudhu break. The khuf is still on and hasn't slipped off.



What is the limit for the opening of the zip for the Wudhu to break.


Answer: 

Firstly, one is only allowed to make Masah on such leather socks which cover and conceal one’s feet up to his ankles (Kitabul Masa'il Vol. 1 Pg.197) and Masah is not valid over a Khuff in which there is a tear through which the extent of three toes are exposed; however, if the tear is less than that, then it will be valid to make Masah on such socks. (Al-Lubab Pg. 24 Bushra)

In the enquired case, if your ankles get exposed, it will nullify your Masah and if they do not get exposed, your Masah will remain intact.

AND ALLAH TA'AALA ALONE IN HIS INFINITE KNOWLEDGE KNOWS BEST
