What is the ruling on a girl wearing high heels?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The basic principle concerning footwear and clothing is permissibility, unless something arises that necessitates prohibition or dislike (). Among the impediments to permissibility are: if the worn item causes harm, or if it is exclusive to non-believers, or if it is excessively attention-grabbing. If high heels are free from these impediments, and are not an adornment in themselves or are covered by clothing, then their wearing appears to be permissible. However, piety dictates avoiding situations of doubt.
