Wearing Sneakers or Tennis Shoes During Sa`i
assalamu alaikom and thank you for providing this service. Jazakom Allah khairan. This is in reference to hajj dress code. I was recommended by the "scholar" with my travel agency to wear sneakers or tennis shoes during the saai between safa and marwa. The reasons given were: a) many people rush and step on the back of the flip flops causing one to fall; and b) that the requirement is to keep the heels uncovered (kaab) and hence a tennis shoe is acceptable. Is that something that coincides with Islamic sharia for hajj? thank you wa jazakom Allah khairan wassalam
