(299) Chapter: Undesirability of Wearing one Shoe or Sock

Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade a person wearing (tying up) his shoe while standing. [Abu Dawud with a good Isnad]. Commentary: We learn from this Hadith that it is undesirable to put on one's shoes (or socks, etc.) in the standing position. Some religious scholars are of the opinion that this is more of an advice than an order. By prescribing the manners of wearing one's shoes, it has been illustrated that the Islamic teachings cover all spheres of life.
