The ruling on praying in shoes inside mosques

Question:
After this, we move on to. It was sent by the advisor. Sulayman al-Khalil al-Sudani, residing in the Kingdom. His brother Sulayman has a collection of questions; in one of them, he asks about praying in shoes, may Allah reward you, inside the mosques. Is this permissible? And what is your warning to the people? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The default is that praying in shoes is recommended if the shoes are pure and not contaminated, and this applies whether in the mosque or elsewhere. However, in our current time, praying in the mosques leads to consequences, because the mosques are now carpeted and their condition has changed from before. So, praying in shoes affects the carpets and contaminates them. Is this different from the past, when the mosques were earthen and were not affected by walking or praying? Now, entering the mosques and praying in them has a clear effect on them. As long as that is the case, he should take off his shoes for this reason. May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
