Ibn Majah

Benefits and Issues:

➊
Walking in the graveyard while wearing shoes has been interpreted by Allamah Nawab Waheed uz-Zaman Khan as being disliked in the sense of tanzih (discouraged but not sinful).
Because in another hadith, the questions that occur in the grave are mentioned in these words:
“When the servant is placed in the grave,
and his companions (those who buried him)
return,
he still hears the sound of their sandals,
when two angels come to him...”
(Sahih al-Bukhari, al-Jana'iz, Chapter: The deceased hears the sound of the sandals, Hadith: 1338)

➋
Death is a source of goodness for the believer,
because only after death does he receive the reward for his righteous deeds and the blessings of Paradise.
Whereas for the disbeliever, death is the beginning of the punishment for his evil deeds.

➌
One should acknowledge the blessings of Allah and express gratitude to Allah for them.

➍
One method of correcting a mistake is to directly inform the person of his mistake and instruct him to rectify it.
This is more effective
when the one forbidding the wrong is held in esteem and honor by the one making the mistake.
In such a case, respect and a sense of the greatness of the admonisher become an important reason for accepting the advice.

From the apparent meaning of this hadith, it is understood that one should not walk in the graveyard with shoes on, so that the respect of the graves is maintained. From the next two narrations, Imam Sahib rahimahullah has derived the permissibility of walking in the graveyard with shoes, therefore, while considering the apparent wording, he reconciles by stating that it is prohibited to walk wearing shoes made of tanned and polished leather, but one may walk wearing simple shoes. However, this reconciliation does not satisfy the heart.

The wording of the upcoming hadith is as follows: "When the deceased is placed in the grave and those who buried him return, he hears the sound of their shoes." From this, it is not established that entering the graveyard with shoes and walking between the graves is impermissible, because there is no explicit statement to that effect. When entering the graveyard, shoes should be removed, and upon returning, they may be worn again. This understanding is not contrary to the hadith; rather, it is entirely in accordance with it. Therefore, the preferred opinion is that one should not enter the graveyard wearing shoes. If there is an excuse such that it is not possible to enter without shoes—for example, there are thorns, pebbles, or the ground is extremely hot—then, out of necessity, shoes may be worn.

The requirement of the verse: ﴿وَقَدْ فَصَّلَ لَكُمْ مَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِلا مَا اضْطُرِرْتُمْ إِلَيْهِ﴾ and ﴿لا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلا وُسْعَهَا﴾ is exactly this. And Allah knows best.
