Sunnah of Shoes

Type of Footwear worn by Holy Prophet (S.A.W):

Our beloved Prophet (S.A.W) wore wooden sandals and shoes made of skin.


He (S.A.W) also wore leather socks, and at the time of wuzu he would perform
‘Masah’ (wipe over the socks).

Hazrat AbdAllah bin Umar (R.A) states, “I saw the Prophet (S.A.W) wearing shoes


that had no hair (leather shoes without animal fur)

Right First:

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (R.A) has related that Holy Prophet (S.A.W) said, “When one


of you puts on footwear, wear the right first, and when taking them off, take
the left one off first”.

Avoid wearing the shoes whilst standing:

Holy Prophet (S.A.W) would wear his blessed shoes while sitting.


Hazrat Jaabir (R.A) narrated that Holy Prophet (S.A.W) has prohibited wearing the
shoes whilst standing, except the shoes which have no laces. (Tirmidi)

Hazrat Ibn Abbas (R.A) reported: It is Sunnah for a man to put off his shoes
when he sits down, and place them by his side. (Abu Dawood)

Do not walk with one shoe:

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (R.A) reported that the Rasoolullah (S.A.W) said: “Don’t walk


in one sandal; either wear both or take both off”.(Bukhari, Muslim)

Manners of Shoes:

 To wear shoes made of skin.

 Wear both shoes or take both off.

 Shake the shoes before wearing.

 Wear the right foot first, then the left.

 Hold the shoes with Left-hand Index finger and Middle finger.

 If the shoes are turned over put them straight.

 Try to walk bear-foot at times, as Holy Prophet (S.A.W) advised us to do


so.

 Women should not wear men’s shoes, and men should not wear
women’s shoes.

 Wearing and taking off clothes happen several times at day and night
for the purpose of bathing, sleeping …etc.
  
 If you want to wear or take off your clothes:
 1- Say (bismi allāh i.e. in the name of allah), when you wear or take
off your clothes. an nawawi said: it is (i.e. saying bismi allah)
recommended in all actions.
  
 2-  The prophet – peace be upon him – used to say when he wearing
his clothes, shirt, dress or turban: (o allah, i ask you for its
goodness and the goodness of what it has been made for, and i
seek your protection from the evil of it and the evil of what it
has been made for)  narrated by abu dawood, at termithi, ahmad,
and it was authenticated by ibn hebban and al-hakem and he said that
it meets the conditions of muslim, and this was supported by ath-
thahabi.
  
 3-  Start by the right side upon wearing clothes. the prophet – peace be
upon him – said: (if you wear clothes start with the right
side) narrated by at-termithi, abu dawood, ibn majah, and it is
authentic.
  
 4- Upon taking off the clothes, start with the left side then the right.
