- It is a unanimous ruling from all four aimma kiram ؒthat performing masah on thin cotton or nylon socks is impermissible. Whether such socks were worn before or after performing wudhu does not make any difference. Similarly, performing masah on shoes is also incorrect. Wudhu is not valid in these conditions and thus salah performed with such invalid wudhu is also invalid. It is impermissible to read salah in such a person’s imamat(lead).
عن قتادہ عن سعید بن المسیب والحسن قالا یمسح الجوربین اذا کانا صفیقین (کتاب النوازل بحوالہ مصنف لابن ابی شیبۃ ، ص 127، ج3
قال الملک العلماء کاسانی ؒفان کانا رقیقین یشفان الماء لا یجوز المسح علیھما بالاجماع (فتاوی عثمانی، ص 369، ج1
- In itself, it is considered permissible and proven (from the teachings of Islamic Shari‘ah) to read salah while wearing shoes as long as they are paak(clean). However since the floor of masajid has prayer rugs etc. therefore it is considered makrooh to enter masajid while wearing shoes. Even if the shoes are paak, it is still considered against the respect of a masjid to wear shoes inside the masjid.
