The ruling on shoes that have lines resembling the Name of Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
There are some shoes that have certain lines which resemble the Name of Allah. I have brought this shoe, and people are confused by it, so we ask for clarification: is this the Name of Allah or not? And what is the ruling on selling and wearing them if it is the Name of Allah?
I say:-May Allah reward you- This happens frequently, for more than four or five years now, and people are confused by such matters. However, this confusion has no basis in reality; because when a person imagines something, it becomes fixed in his mind that this is the thing he imagined. But if another person comes who had not thought of this thing, he would know that it is not what the first person imagined. So often a person imagines, for example, that a piece of cloth with patterns is birds,And if someone else sees it, he says: when it is absolutely not birds. Likewise, what we find in some sandals, some people imagine it is the Name of Allah, but it is not. If another person comes who had not thought of this thing, he would know that it has no basis in reality. The original ruling is that there is no prohibition, and rather it is permissible, until a person is certain that this is something forbidden. And I have now seen what was presented to me, and I do not find in it anything resembling the Name of Allah.
