So, roads, parking lots, homes, offices, basically any ground you stand on is to be considered pure unless you are certain that it’s impure.\\n\\nSecondly, we are allowed to pray in shoes, sandals, and boots because there are hadiths that the Prophet ﷺ and the sahaba did that. What we would need to do is look at the bottom of the shoes for any trace of filth, if you don’t see anything, then it’s good. Also, make sure the boots/shoes are not made from pigskin, and if you’re Shafi'i, make sure they are flexible enough to allow you to bend your toes towards the qibla when you’re in sujud.\\n\\nFinally, in the Shafi'i school it’s permissible to wipe over boots if they fit the criteria by covering the entire foot including the ankles and are not made from pigskin and remain laced up until you finish the prayer.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe40b76658b4c232837","tag":"Tahara: Wudu","count":135},{"_id":"6aa18137ef3c233e2dd3fd61","tag":"Tahara: Khuff","count":10}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:41:45.818Z"}
