The questioner : What is the ruling on wearing high heels, knowing that they make no sound at all, and she only wears them on special occasions? And what is the ruling if the shoe makes a light sound that is not noticeable?

The Shaykh : Wearing high heels is undoubtedly a form of tabarruj (a woman's display of her adornment), because it elevates the woman. It is harmful to the man's heel because it raises it above its natural level. Therefore, it is blameworthy in terms of both the Shari'ah and medicine. For this reason, many doctors have prohibited it from a medical standpoint, in addition to it being blameworthy from a religious standpoint because it is a form of tabarruj. If it makes a sound, it is even more blameworthy and more blameworthy. The woman should wear the customary sandals specific to women. It is not permissible for her to wear the sandals specific to men, because that is imitating men. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his family cursed the women who imitate men. Yes.
