The questioner : What is the most authentic statement regarding the wisdom behind the prohibition of putting on shoes while standing?
The Shaykh : What I see is that it does not mean - may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him - any type of putting on shoes, but rather that which may expose the person putting them on to some harm; such as falling to the right or left, or falling on his face. As for when people are as it is known today, where it is easy for a person to put them on; it does not appear to me that the hadith intends even this putting on of shoes.
The questioner : Or that his 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) becomes exposed?
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : Or that his 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) becomes exposed? I mean, sometimes it happens...
The Shaykh : And if this is a reprehensible matter.
