The ruling on wearing sandals while standing or sitting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a question from the women. We ask Your Eminence to kindly clarify the guidance of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding how he wore his sandals: did he put them on while sitting or while standing? What is the evidence? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
In the name of Allah, and may prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. There is no warning against wearing sandals; whoever wishes may put them on while standing, and whoever wishes may put them on while sitting. Nothing has been established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) indicating a prohibition against wearing them while standing, for the hadith of al-Najjah regarding this matter is defective. So whoever wishes may put them on while standing, and whoever wishes may put them on while sitting. Yes.
