Turning the shoe upside down on its back
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The third question from Fatwa number ( 14468 )
Q3: Some elderly people say that turning the shoe upside down on its back is not
permissible, since it faces the face of Allah. Is that correct? May Allah reward you with good.
A3 : Turning the shoe so that its bottom is on top involves impurity and is disliked; because its bottom is what touches the ground, so the wearer of the shoe steps on the ground with it, and may step on some filth with it. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
