Wearing shoes and walking between graves


687

Q 7: Is it permissible to walk in shoes between the graves despite the text that states: O you who are wearing the shoes! Take off your shoes. Or as he (peace be upon him) said, or is this specific to the graves that take the form of Lahd (a crevice on the side of a grave facing the direction faced for Prayer) like that of Al-Baqi`?


A 7: Based on the mentioned Hadith, it is Makruh (disliked) to walk while wearing shoes between the graves, unless there is a need for that, such as to avoid thorns or heat. However, one must avoid treading on the graves.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
