Is it permissible to perform tawaf while wearing shoes?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to perform tawaf while wearing shoes? If they are pure,

Answer:
then there is nothing wrong with it. However, nowadays one is unable to perform tawaf wearing shoes because they harm people in the crowd, and one is wearing shoes, and also they become a subject of criticism from people. Also, the tawaf area is now paved, and the shoes leave a mark on it. In the past, it was dirt, and it did not affect it, but now the mosques and the tawaf area are paved, so a person does not perform tawaf wearing his shoes because they affect the tawaf area with the dirt he brings with his shoes, or because there is filth in them. Yes.
