The first question of Fatwa No. ( 21399 )
Q1: I suffer from varicocele. Is it permissible for me to wear what is called a testicular support bag during ihram as the doctors advised me to? May Allah reward you with good?
A1 : It is permissible for you to wear what is called a testicular support bag during ihram, as advised by the doctors, due to necessity. You must pay an expiation, which is fasting for three days, or feeding six poor people, giving each poor person half a sa' of wheat or dates
or barley, and its amount by weight is one and a half kilograms for each poor person, or the slaughter of a sheep, based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) to Ka'b ibn 'Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him):Muwatta Malik 20:250 It is agreed upon, and the "or" indicates a choice. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
