Question

 Can I wipe over my sleeves same as wiping over socks during ablution.

Answer

Unlike socks, it is impermissible to wipe over sleeves without the above mentioned conditions. This is because wiping over socks is deemed a dispensation, which cannot be used in analogy. However, it is permissible for women to wipe over sleeves upon necessity if cannot be in a place away from other people who can see them.
