The ruling on placing a shoe upside down
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: What is the ruling on placing a sandal, meaning a shoe, upside down, with its sole facing up?
Answer:
I do not know of any evidence regarding this, but it is disliked by people. There may be some impurity or filth on the bottom of the shoe, so people dislike this. This falls under the category of etiquette; it is a matter of etiquette that one does not leave a shoe upside down in front of people. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
