The ruling on turning the soles of shoes upward as a sign of reverence for Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it prescribed to turn the soles of the shoes upward if they are inverted, as a sign of reverence for Allah the Mighty and Majestic?
Answer:
People dislike it; people dislike having the soles of shoes facing upward toward their faces. This is among the disliked matters, and I do not know that this is a matter from the standpoint of religion, but it is from the standpoint of people and the custom of people. Perhaps the inside of the shoe contains impurity or has a stain. Is it not better for it to be facing away from people? This is a matter of general etiquette.
