What Garments Are Permissible for Prayer and What Garments Are Not
وَ سُئِلَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنْ قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِمُوسَى عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ « فَاخْلَعْ نَعْلَيْكَ إِنَّكَ بِالْوٰادِ اَلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوىً » قَالَ «كَانَتَا مِنْ جِلْدِ حِمَارٍ مَيِّتٍ.
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام was asked about the verse in which Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic, said to Musa عليه السلام: "Remove your sandals, for you are in the sacred valley of Tuwa" (Surah Taha 20:12). Imam عليه السلام said: "They were made from the skin of a dead donkey."
