The first is to replace shoes that make noise with shoes that do not, to increase modesty and avoid suspicion. However, there is no harm in wearing them if there is no opportunity to buy others, and the sound is excused as long as the intention is pure and not meant to attract attention. As for a woman striking her foot to make her anklets rattle, it is disliked if it is done out of joy in her adornment, and it is forbidden if it is done for the purpose of displaying herself to men.
