Can We Establish Funeral Prayer With Our Shoes On?

Can we establish funeral prayer with our shoes on?

As in all prayers, one should eliminate all kinds of filth (taharah from najasat), which prevent one from establishing prayer, in funeral prayer, too . Accordingly, it is permissible in religious terms for a person to establish funeral prayer with shoes on if there is no filth on shoes that may prevent one from establishing the prayer. Because the Messenger of Allah (saw) started a funeral prayer with his shoes on and took them off upon Jibreel’s informing him about the filth on them (Abu Dawud, Salat, 91).
