Circumambulating the Ka'bah while wearing slippers for the one performing 'Umrah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Is it permissible for the one performing 'Umrah to perform 'Umrah and circumambulate the Ka'bah while wearing his slippers? As you know, the Sacred Mosque is not affected by this, and the one performing 'Umrah says that if he goes out to get his slippers, he usually does not find them.

The Shaykh:
What they leave behind—circumambulating in his slippers—he prevents them, causing disturbance to himself and to the people. He does not circumambulate in his slippers. Yes.

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If there is a garden, may Allah protect you, is it permissible for a person to pray on its roof, or must he open it up?

The Shaykh:
He takes the slippers in his hand, not under his arm, and does not leave them in his place or in his car. Yes.
