Chapter 8: Etiquettes Of Wearing Shoes
Hadith 1: It is
reported in Sahih Muslim from Jaabir رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ. He
says he heard Rasoolullah
صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم saying, ‘Wear shoes as much as you can, for
as long as a person is wearing shoes, it is as if he is on (a mode of transport)’,
in other words he does not become exhausted.’
Hadith 2: It is in
Sahih Bukhari from Ibn Umar رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہما who says,
‘I saw Rasoolullah صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم wear a Naalain (Sacred Footwear) which had no
fur (covering) on it’.
Hadith 3: It is in
Sahih Bukhari from Anas رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ that there were two hairs in the Naalain of Rasoolullah صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم
, in other
words, there were two laces (straps) between the mubaarak toes.
Hadith 4: It is in
Sahih Bukhari and Muslim on the authority of Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ that Rasoolullah صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ
وسلَّم said that ‘when wearing shoes, first wear the one on the right
foot and when removing them, then first remove the one on the left foot, so
that the right is first in being put on, and last in being removed.’
Hadith 5: In Sahih
Bukhari and Muslim on the authority of Abu Hurairah رضی
اللہ تعالٰی عنہ that Rasoolullah صلَّی
اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم
said, ‘Do not walk whilst only wearing one
shoe. Either remove both or wear both’.
Hadith 6: In Sahih
Muslim it is reported from Jaabir رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ hat Rasoolullah صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ
وسلَّم said, ‘If the laces (straps) of your shoes break, you should not
walk whilst only wearing one shoe, but you should repair the strap, and do not
walk whilst wearing only one Mauzah (sock)’.
Hadith 7: Tirmizi
reported from Jaabir and Ibn Majah reported from Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہما
that Rasoolullah صلَّی
اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم
forbade the wearing of shoes whilst standing
(i.e. to put them on whilst standing). This ruling is regarding those shoes
which take time to wear whilst standing (and) those which need the straps to be
tied. In the same way the boots (this refers to the present day shoes) should also
be worn whilst sitting, because even in these shoes, the laces have to be tied,
and to tie them whilst standing is difficult. There is no harm in standing
whilst putting on shoes which are not of this type; such as, the Saleem Shahi[1]
or the pumps[2], or the type of sandal in
which there is no need to tie a strap.
Hadith 8: Tirmizi
reported from Hazrat A’isha رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہا that Rasoolullah صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم sometimes walked with just one Naalain. This
was either to explain permissibility, or it was when he just walked one or two
steps, such as to open the Door of the Hujra (Sacred Chamber).
Hadith 9: Abu Dawud
reported from Ibn Abi Maleeka that someone mentioned to Hazrat A’isha رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہا
that a woman wore shoes (which resembled that
of men). She (Hazrat A’isha رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہا) said that, ‘Rasoolullah صلَّی اللہ
تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم cursed women who resembled men’. In other
words, women should not wear shoes that are like that of men. Actually this refers
to all things in which men and women have distinctiveness to one another. There
is prohibition for each one of them to adopt the style of the other. Neither
should men adopt the style of the women, and nor should the women adopt the
style of the men.
Hadith 10: Abu Dawud
reported on the authority of Abdullah ibn Buraidah رضی
اللہ تعالٰی عنہ that someone had queried from Fudaala bin
Ubaid رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ saying, ‘why is it that I notice your hair
scattered apart?’ He said that ‘Rasoolullah صلَّی اللہ
تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم used to prohibit us from Irfa, i.e. from
excessively adorning ourselves’. He (then) said, ‘Why is it that I notice you
bare feet?’ He said that ‘Rasoolullah صلَّی اللہ
تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم commanded us to occasionally remain bare
feet’.
