The ruling on walking in sandals in graveyards

Question:
Is it permissible to walk in sandals in graveyards?

Answer:
Answer: There is evidence indicating that doing so is disliked. It is reported in a hadith that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in sandals, so the questioner said, "Sabitaytik," meaning your sandals. The point is that walking in sandals in graveyards is disliked except out of necessity.
This is because the Messenger ordered the one he saw walking in his sandals to throw them away. The scholars said that there is a type of disrespect in walking in sandals among the graves, or for a wisdom that Allah knows best. There is discussion regarding the hadith, but the correct view is that there is no harm in it. It is better not to walk in sandals except out of necessity, such as if the ground is hot or has thorns; in that case, there is no harm. However, if there is no cause, it is better not to walk in sandals. Some scholars said there is no harm in walking in sandals, because it is reported in an authentic hadith that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that by walking in sandals. The answer is that this does not indicate walking in sandals in the graveyard, because their departure is outside the graveyard, so there is no contradiction between this and that. It is better and more preferable not to walk in sandals in the graves except out of necessity, such as severe cold of the ground, severe heat, or if there are thorns. If the ground is sound, it is better to walk barefoot; this is the better and more cautious course.
