The Ruling on Praying in Slippers in Mosques
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: Is praying in slippers during the obligatory and voluntary prayers considered an exaggeration?
Answer:
No, praying in clean slippers is a sunnah (recommended practice) of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); he used to pray in his slippers. However, upon entering, one should look to see if there is anything harmful and remove it. This was when the mosques were earthen. As for the mosques now, they are carpeted, and people are not permitted to enter with slippers because they become caked with dirt and filth; it is not suitable now, it is not suitable. But when the mosques were earthen, they would enter with slippers and pray in them. Yes.
