The ruling on reciting the Qur'an while wearing shoes

Question:
The first question: I am a soldier in the Iraqi army, and I recite the Qur'an several times while wearing my shoes. Is it permissible for me to recite the Qur'an while wearing shoes? Please inform us; may Allah reward you.

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may the prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah, our Prophet, our Imam, and our Master, Muhammad ibn 'Abd Allah, and upon his family and his Companions, and whoever follows his path and is guided by his guidance until the Day of Judgment. As for what follows, there is no harm.
There is no harm in reading the Qur'an while wearing your sandals or leather socks. A believer may read while standing, sitting, or lying down, whether he is wearing his leather socks or sandals, or is barefoot; there is no harm in any of this, and praise be to Allah. This is based on the saying of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He: and the saying of 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her): "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to remember Allah in all his states." Her statement (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to remember Allah in all his states indicates that there is no difference between being barefoot and wearing footwear. This is what 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to remember Allah in all his states." The only exception to this is the state of major ritual impurity (janabah); the one in a state of major ritual impurity does not read until he performs the full ritual bath (ghusl). As for everything else, he may read while standing, sitting, lying down, wearing footwear, or barefoot, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
