The Shaykh : Is it permissible to perform tawaf around the Ka'bah wearing leather socks or something similar, such as shoes, with or without an excuse?
It is well known that a man does not wear leather socks while in the state of ihram, but there is no harm for a woman.
As for performing tawaf around the Ka'bah or entering the Sacred Mosque while wearing leather socks, it is better to leave them off, because the common people are like animals, and there is a fear of it becoming invalid. A person might enter with the soles of his shoes contaminated with water, so it is better for a person to take off his shoes as soon as he enters the Sacred Mosque. Yes.
