Question:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Are these ok to wear with Ihram if I am not able to wear flip flops?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Answer:\u00a0<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In Ihram, a person is required to leave the ankles and the top of the feet uncovered. The shoes or sandals worn must not cover these areas, as stated in the Hanafi Fiqh:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yes, going barefoot during Ihram<\/strong> is completely permissible and, in fact, it is considered closer to the Sunnah. The Prophet \ufdfa himself sometimes performed Tawaf barefoot, as mentioned in the Hadith:<\/span><\/p>\n

So when he proclaims the Talbiyah, he has entered the state of Ihram. Therefore, he should avoid what Allah has forbidden, such as indecency, sinfulness, and disputing. He should not kill any game, nor point towards it, nor guide others to it. He should not wear a shirt, trousers, a turban, a cap, a cloak, or leather socks\u2014unless he does not find sandals, in which case he should cut them below the ankles.”<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The fatwa, if you are unable to wear flip-flops, you can wear any footwear that leaves the top of your foot and your ankles uncovered. Many pilgrims opt for open sandals that do not cover these parts. (2)<\/span><\/p>\n
