Summary
Tawaf and prayer remain valid when a person carries a bag containing shoes or sandals that are free from impurity. The shoes must be ensured clean. If it is uncertain whether they are impure, one checks for signs of impurity such as smell, taste and colour, and if there are none they are considered pure, since rubbing them on the ground purifies them. If dirt or impurity is present, it must first be removed and cleaned.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, kami berpendapat sah solat atau tawaf seseorang itu sekiranya membawa beg berisi kasut atau selipar yang suci daripada najis padanya.
