Question: 26812
What is the Islamic ruling in wearing shoes with high heels?.
Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. To proceed:
At the very least it is makrooh,
Firstly because that involves deceit, as they are worn to make a woman look tall when she is not.
Secondly they pose a danger to the woman, as she may fall.
Thirdly they are harmful to a woman’s health, as has been stated by the doctors.
