al-ʿAllāmah Muqbil ibn Hādī al-Wādiʿī

This book discusses the abandoned Sunnah of praying in shoes, citing numerous aḥadīth that confirm its permissibility through the speech and visual observation of the noble Messenger (H). It also teaches the reader the conditions of praying in shoes. Finally, it confronts the issue of abandoning this prophetic practice due to misplaced fear and overanalysis of impurities. The noble author penned this short but exemplary work due to the widespread modern-day opposition to praying in shoes by most Muslims. It equips the reader with ample evidence that praying in shoes is a well-established Sunnah.
