Question:
Is it permissible to use an izar and a rida for ihram, and to use them as pockets to keep belongings and cover the body from below? Does this amount to sewn clothing? What is the ruling on one who performed 'Umrah with them?

Answer:
It is not permissible to attach pockets to the izar and rida of a person in ihram, because this is the equivalent of sewn clothing and resembles sewn clothing. If he has belongings he wants to keep, he should buy a belt with pockets, tie it around the izar, and put his belongings in the belt's pockets.
