Carrying one's shoes in a bag whilst making tawaaf
Question
Whilst making tawaaf, is it permissible to be carrying one’s sandals in a plastic or cloth bag in one hand or in a shoulder bag? Otherwise, there is always a risk that the sandals would, in all most probability, go astray as has been my experience in the past.
Answer
Yes, it is permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
