Praise be to Allaah.

One of the conditions which must be met
before starting to pray is to make sure that
one's body and clothes and the place in
which the Muslim is going to pray are all
clean and free of impurities. It was narrated
from the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) that he used to pray
wearing his shoes. Anas ibn Maalik (may
Allaah be pleased with him) was asked, “Did
the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) pray wearing shoes?” He said,
“Yes.” (al-Bukhaari, 386; Muslim, 555). This
is to be understood as meaning, so long as
there is no impurity on the shoes; if there is
any impurity on them then it is not permissible
to pray in them. If a person forgets and prays
wearing shoes when there is some impurity
on them, then he has to take them off when he
finds out or remembers. This is because of
the hadeeth of Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri who
said: “While the Messenger of Allaah (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was
leading his companions in prayer, he took off
his shoes and placed them to his left. When
the people saw that, they took off their shoes
too. When the Messenger of Allaah (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) finished
his prayer, he asked, ‘What made you take off
your shoes?’ They said, ‘We saw you take off
your shoes, so we took ours off too.’ The
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said, ‘Jibreel (peace be
upon him) came to me and told me that there
was something dirty on them.’ When any one
of you comes to the mosque, let him look and
if he sees anything dirty on his shoes, let him
wipe them and then pray in them.” (Abu
Dawood, 650; classed as saheeh by al-
Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood, 605).

One of the reasons why the Prophet (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) prayed
wearing shoes is to be found in the hadeeth,
“Be different from the Jews, who do not pray
in their shoes or in their leather slippers
(khufoof ).” (Abu Dawood, 652; classed as
saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood,
607). That is regarded as mustahabb for the
purpose of differing from non-Muslims, as
stated above.
This has to do with the kind of shoes and with
the mosque at that time. However if the
mosque is furnished with carpeting, then the
mosque should be kept clean of shoes, and no
one should enter wearing shoes lest the place
be made dirty. (Fataawa Samaahat al-Shaykh
‘Abd-Allaah ibn Humayd , p. 81). Moreover the
furnishings of the mosque are a waqf which
should not be damaged or destroyed, and if
dirt gets onto the carpets it will offend those
who pray and prostrate on them. Hence no
one should enter wearing shoes and walk on
the carpets in the mosque in shoes, lest he
damage them or make them dirty.

The one who is keen to follow this Sunnah
can apply it when praying at home, or when
praying in places where there are no
furnishings or carpets, such as parks,
beaches and out of doors, etc. If this action
confuses some of those who are unaware of
the Sunnah, he should explain to them that it
is Sunnah before he does it, so that they will
not find that odd. We ask Allaah to make us
among those who adhere to the Sunnah and
strive to follow it until He joins us with the
author of the Sunnah (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) close to the Lord of the
Worlds. And Allaah is the Source of strength.
