Bismihi Ta'ala

1) It is not permissible to do Masah on ordinary socks. Certain conditions have been deduced from the Ahaadith by the Jurists which have to be met for Masah on ordinary socks to be valid.

2) Covering the head is not only a mark of respect, but also an essential Sunnah in Salaah, one that was not neglected by the Prophet and the Sahaabah. It is from amongst those things that make the Salaah more fruitful and rewarding.

3) It is not permissible to use contraceptive methods until there is a valid reason according to Shari'ah. Please specify your reason for a specific response.

And Allah knows best.
