Is it obligatory for a woman to wear black shoes and socks, or is it permissible for her to wear other colors such as brown, gray, white, and blue, and is it permissible to wear beautiful shoes free of embellishments?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A woman is not obliged to adhere to a specific color for her clothing or shoes. She is permitted to wear beautiful shoes, provided they are not attention-grabbing. The intent is for a woman to cover her body from non- men with something that is not an adornment in itself and does not attract attention.
