Arabic text

3617 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا يَمْشِي أَحَدُكُمْ فِي نَعْلٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَلَا خُفٍّ وَاحِدٍ لِيَخْلَعْهُمَا جَمِيعًا، أَوْ لِيَمْشِ فِيهِمَا جَمِيعًا»

Commentary

Walking in one shoes cause harm, and it could lead to staggering for the lack of balance. Besides, it is contrary to nobility and dignity. If one needs to take off one shoe, in that case, it is better to take off both shoes. Walking bare foot is not prohibited in Islam.
