If one finds a sandal turned upside down; is it obligatory for him to straighten it?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : When we see a shoe that is upside down, we straighten it, meaning, I do not know if there is a text regarding this or anything else?
The Shaykh : No, there is no text regarding it; rather, this falls under the category of taste.
The questioner : Respect, you mean?
The Shaykh : Taste. It means... a sandal is something disgusting and ugly, so it is turned to its natural position, otherwise, from the perspective of the Shari'ah, there is nothing in it.
