Question: In the Hadith that the Prophet (ﷺ) wiped on his socks and shoes*. So if I want pray, do I remove my shoes?
Answer: “There is no harm in this because the shoes follow [the ruling] of the socks”.

عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم تَوَضَّأَ وَمَسَحَ عَلَى الْجَوْرَبَيْنِ وَالنَّعْلَيْنِ
