Praying in new, clean slippers in a carpeted mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a man buys a new, clean pair of slippers, is it permissible for him to pray in them in the mosque and step on the carpet, or should he refrain from doing so for fear that people will disapprove of him?
Answer:
He should refrain from doing so, because mosques are now carpeted and tiled, and even the slightest thing affects them. So he should not pray in his slippers in them; he should take them off.
