The questioner:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on taking sandals from the gates of the Haram for wudu, relieving oneself, or ghusl, and then returning them, or taking them to go on an errand and then coming back? Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
This is not permissible. It is not permissible to take people's sandals to go perform wudu with them or to use them.
The presenter:
Allah is sufficient for me after that.
The Shaykh:
It is forbidden for you. These are people's money and people's rights; it is not permissible [to take them] without their permission. So do not take them. If you have your own sandals, wear them. If you have nothing, buy some. If you have nothing to buy, go barefoot and walk barefoot, but do not take their sandals.
