Does Walking Barefoot Reduce Intelligence?

Walking Barefoot and Intelligence: What Does Islam Say?

Question: Does walking barefoot reduce intelligence, and is this proven by Hadith?

Answer: There is no Hadith that proves walking barefoot reduces intelligence. Instead, Hadith indicates that we can walk barefoot or with shoes, and both actions are correct. The only prohibition is against wearing a shoe on one foot and not the other.

Narrated by Abu Huraira, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “None of you should walk with one shoe. Either wear them both or leave them both off.” (Sahih al-Bukhari: 5856)
