Question:
Is it permissible for a person to wear socks if he is ill and finds it difficult to remove them, such that he feels pain in his feet?
Answer:
He wears the socks, but he owes a fidyah (ransom payment) because this is among the prohibitions of ihram. It is obligatory for him to pay the fidyah, and he has the choice between fasting for three days, feeding six poor people (where a poor person receives half a sa' of food), or slaughtering a sheep to be distributed to the poor of the Haram.
