ANSWER:

You can wear such shoes and expiate due to necessity by doing only one of the three following things:

1- slaughter a sheep and distribute the meat to the poor round the haram area

2- feed six poor people 1.5 kg of rice 

3- fast 3 days. 

QUESTION: I’m disabled and my feet are deformed and I have little control over them. It’s much easier to walk with shoes as this creates support for my feet. Is it ok to wear shoes that are below the ankles for umrah/hajj due to necessity ? Sandals or otherwise would make it very difficult for me.

QUESTION: I wanted to ask about making du’a after praying the 2 rakaat behind Maqaam Ibrahim during Umrah. I was recently advised by a friend that this is not from the Sunnah as the Prophet ﷺ used to continue his Umrah after praying here and did not make du’a. I wanted to ask what is the validity of this and is it okay if I make du’a occasionally after these 2 rakaat
