The questioner : In many homes in our time, there is a phenomenon of not caring about the cleanliness and purity of the place where adults and children pray. They enter with their shoes on the carpets. Does this action affect the purity of this place?
The Shaykh : It does not affect its purity, because the original state is purity.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Even the shoes that are for the bathrooms are not impure, because the bathrooms in our time, and praise be to Allah, have clean seats, and impurity is not present except in the middle of this basin where the urination and defecation occur, and everything around it is clean. So the shoe is pure. And if the shoe is pure, it does not make impure what is stepped on with it, even if it is wet. People in this matter are of two extremes and a middle: one extreme is strict in this matter, and everything is impure in his view, and he exerts great effort in the purity of his clothes, his shoe soles, and what he prays on. The other extreme is the opposite. The middle is the one who follows what came in the Book and the Sunnah, so there is no breaking and no ... If we enter a room in any place, whether in our homes or elsewhere, and we do not know that impurity is in this specific place, we are allowed to pray in it, and there is no harm.
The questioner : May Allah reward you and bless you. This is a questioner who sent a set of questions without mentioning his name in this message. He says, O Shaykh Muhammad.
