117. Commentary:
➊ "Ablution in shoes" means that if shoes are being worn and they are not closed but rather are like sandals in which ablution (wudu) can be performed, then it is necessary to wash the feet.
➋ By «النِّعَالَ السِّبْتِيَّةَ» is meant shoes made of clean leather. Leather is tanned (dyed) and completely cleaned of hair; in this way, the leather becomes both clean and soft. Such shoes are beautiful and comfortable.

(1) "Subti shoes" refers to shoes made from tanned leather. They do not have hair on them. In Arabia, it was also customary to wear shoes made from leather with hair. In comparison, subti shoes were considered valuable. There is no harm in wearing them.
(2) Wars and saffron are colored fragrances. Their use on the body is not permissible for men, but it is allowed to dye the hair with them. As for the dyeing of the beard by the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), for its details see Hadith: 5082, 5089, and 5118.
