<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) It is disliked to wear shoes while standing lest one should fall and hurt himself.<br>
2) Islam pays attention to the proper etiquettes, so that Muslims appear in the best condition and form.<br>
Note:<br>
The prohibition related to wearing shoes while standing applies to such shoes that need some effort to let one’s feet in them. If he wears it while standing, he may lose his balance and fall. As for other shoes that need no effort and can be worn without fear of harm, there is nothing wrong if people put them on while standing. They do not fall under the prohibition in question.
