Carrying one's shoe in a shoe bag when going to the Haram

Q: While traveling for hajj I have to carry my Quran Majeed and some Islamic books in my handbag. My husband wants me to keep the slippers in the bag while entering the masjid so that they might not be lost. What could be the best possible way, as my bag will be carrying my Quran Majeed?

A: Carry the shoes in a separate shoe bag.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
