حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ ، وَشُعَيْبُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَخَلَعَ نَعْلَيْهِ فَلَا يُؤْذِ بِهِمَا أَحَدًا ، لِيَجْعَلْهُمَا بَيْنَ رِجْلَيْهِ ، أَوْ لِيُصَلِّ فِيهِمَا " .
Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: when any of you prays and takes off his sandals, he should not harm anyone by them. He should place them between his feet or pray with them on

Brief Explanation
It is permissible to perform prayer both by removing the shoes or by wearing them. However, occasionally performing prayer while wearing shoes, with the intention of reviving the Sunnah and expressing opposition to the Jews, is a cause of reward and virtue. Nevertheless, care should be taken that this action does not become a cause of discord among the uninformed masses. It is forbidden (haram) to cause harm to any Muslim in any way.
