Prayer in Shoes and Sandals

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
His other question asks about the ruling on praying in shoes, specifically Canadian shoes?

Answer:
There is no harm in it if they are pure and if praying in them does not lead to a prohibited matter, such as entering a carpeted or tiled mosque in a way that affects the carpet or the tiles by dirtying them. In that case, it is a prohibited matter, and he should not pray in his sandals; he should take them off. However, if no harm results from it and they are pure, he prays in them. Praying in sandals is a recommended practice (sunnah) if it can be done without any prohibited matter. Yes.
