Is it permissible for a Muslim to perform Tawaf and Sa'i while wearing shoes?
It is permissible for a Muslim to perform Tawaf and Sa'i while wearing shoes, based on the permissibility of wearing sandals for the pilgrim in ihram. It has been established that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, performed Tawaf and Sa'i while mounted on his riding animal. Therefore, it is permissible to perform Tawaf and Sa'i while wearing sandals, provided that their purity is confirmed.
