650. Abū Sa'eed Al-Khudrī narrated: "Once, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was leading his Companions in the prayer when he took off his sandals and placed them on his left side. Seeing this, the people all took off their sandals. When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ completed the prayer, he asked: 'Why did you take your sandals off?' They said: 'We saw you take off your sandals, so we took ours off.' So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Jibrīl, peace be upon him, came to me and informed me that there was some uncleanliness — or some impurity — on them,'[2] and he said: 'When one of you comes to the Masjid, then let him see (his sandals); if he sees any uncleanliness — or impurity — on them, let him wipe
it off and pray in them.”’ (Ṣaḥīh)

Commentary
1. Praying in shoes or sandals, as well as not praying with them, is Sunnah. If someone is praying while wearing shoes, he should ensure that his shoes are clean, if there is some impurity on them, he should clean them by rubbing them on the earth.
2. If someone is praying alone and wishes to place his shoes near him, he should place them on his left side, and if he is praying with the congregation he should place them in between his feet.
3. If unknowingly, a prayer is offered in unclean and impure clothes there is no need to repeat it.
