The ruling on praying in shoes in a carpeted mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
His other question, may Allah protect you, says: What is the ruling, may Allah honor you, on praying in shoes in a mosque carpeted with rugs?
Answer:
No, one does not enter a carpeted mosque wearing sandals, because mosques are now carpeted, and dust affects them and defiles them. This was only the case when mosques were earthen and sandals did not affect them; in that case, one would enter them and pray in them. However, if wearing them results in dirtying the mosque or causing a dispute between him and those responsible for the mosque, he does not remove his sandals. Yes.
