Sunnah way of wearing: The Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “If you want to put on your shoes, put on the right shoe first; and if you want to take them off, take the left one first. Let the right shoe be the first to be put on and the last to be taken off.” (Narrated by Ahmed, Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi and he says this Hadith is Hasan Saheeh, and ibn Majah and ibn Hibban, also narrated by Abu ‘Awanah and Baihaqi in Shi’abul Iman). Hafiz ibn Hajar al-‘Asqalani states in ‘Fath al-Bari’ commentary of ‘Sahih al-Bukhari’: Ibn ‘arabi says: “to begin from the right is legislated in all good actions”, and Imam Nawawi says: “It is mustahab to begin with the right in all actions which hold a sense of virtue or adornment, and to begin with the left in those actions which are of the opposite category, e.g. entering the lavatory, removing shoes and socks, exiting the masjid etc. It has also been narrated that Hadhrat Aishah was always keen on beginning everything from the right, and ‘Ayaaz records that it is the consensus of the Jurists that the ruling regarding this is that it is mustahab. (Fath al-Bari Vol:10 Pg:311).
