The Men’s Ihram Sandals were designed with the criterion set out by Diyanet (Türkiye’s Presidency of Religious Affairs) for men in ihram in mind: the heel stays uncovered, and the cross straps over the toes do not fully cover the instep. With straps that stand up to wudu water and a light sole, they stay with you from the miqat to tawaf and from your hotel to the Haram.

About the Product

According to statements by Diyanet’s High Council of Religious Affairs, a man in ihram must keep his heels and the raised bones on the top of his feet (ka’b) uncovered, and the upper part of his feet must not be fully covered; slippers with a back strap may also be worn. With this criterion in mind, the RotaNur Men’s Ihram Sandals use two thin cross straps at the front, close to the toes, leaving the middle of the instep and the heel uncovered. The hook-and-loop back strap can be attached as you wish or removed entirely, so the product can be worn either as slippers or as sandals. The straps are made of soft, water-resistant polyurethane and dry quickly after wudu. The light EVA midsole and rubber outsole offer a comfortable step on hot ground and on long walks. As everyone’s feet are shaped differently, we recommend putting the sandals on when they arrive and checking that your instep and heel remain uncovered.

Key Features

  • Open-heel design that can also be worn without the back strap
  • Two thin cross straps close to the toes, leaving the middle of the instep uncovered
  • Hook-and-loop back strap, fully removable
  • Soft, water-resistant PU straps that dry quickly after wudu
  • Light EVA midsole and a rubber outsole for better grip
  • Anatomically shaped sole for a balanced step on long walks
  • Cream and black, sizes 39–46

How to Use

  1. Put the sandals on and check in a mirror: your heel and the middle of your instep should remain uncovered.
  2. Attach the back strap in crowds and on long walks; you can remove it at the hotel and for short distances.
  3. After wudu, shake the sandals off and leave them to dry for a few minutes.
  4. At the entrance to the Haram, put the sandals in your shoe bag and carry them with you.

Use on Your Umrah and Hajj Journey

While in ihram, men do not wear stitched clothing; they wear the ihram, made of two unstitched pieces of cloth, leave their heads uncovered and choose slippers or sandals that leave the top of the foot exposed. Women, on the other hand, enter ihram in their usual modest clothing and do not cover their faces or hands. An ihram belt or a waist bag can be used to hold the ihram in place and to carry items such as money and a phone. Since applying fragrance is prohibited while in ihram, make sure your personal care products are unscented. For more detailed information, see our Umrah Guide and Hajj Guide.

Who Is It For?

Made for men who will enter ihram for Umrah or Hajj. Those who worry about slippers slipping off on long walks can step more securely thanks to the back strap. They are also comfortable for everyday use in Makkah and Madinah after leaving ihram. We recommend that customers with sensitive feet, such as those with wounds, corns or diabetes, consult their doctor before choosing. If you have any doubts about the rules of ihram, you can ask your group guide or read our Umrah guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these sandals suitable for ihram?

The sandals were designed with the criterion stated by Diyanet in mind, leaving the heel and instep uncovered. As feet are shaped differently, check that these areas remain uncovered once you have put them on; if in doubt, ask your group guide or call Diyanet’s 190 Fatwa Line.

Can they be worn with the back strap attached?

A 2025 decision by Diyanet’s High Council of Religious Affairs states that a man in ihram may wear slippers with a back strap. You can attach the strap or remove it entirely, as you prefer.

Are they slippery when wet?

The rubber outsole improves grip; however, any footwear can slip on wet marble and in wudu areas. We recommend walking slowly and carefully in these areas.

Which size should I buy?

Choose your everyday shoe size. If you are between sizes, go for the larger one so that your toes do not extend past the end of the sole.

Can the sandals be worn outside of ihram?

Yes. After leaving ihram, you can attach the back strap and wear them for walks around town, during your visit to Madinah and as everyday sandals in the summer months once you are back home.
