The Shaykh : Yes, there is nothing wrong with it, but we are concerned that the common people will follow suit. We fear that the common people will enter wearing their sandals, which are contaminated, until they reach the row. As I told you before, what was it? That I started praying in my sandals, and people were hesitant to enter the mosques wearing their sandals. But when I started praying in them and also spoke about it in the sermon, when I saw some people getting confused, the common people began entering in their sandals, which were contaminated with donkey dung and other things. At that time, donkeys were present, and they would carry loads on them, so they were contaminated. When they reached the row, they would take them off, so they brought harm instead of following the Sunnah. I saw that it was better to leave it, so I left it. Yes, we took three.
