The Ruling on Wearing a Diaper for a Sick Person in Ihram

Question:
We begin with the phone calls. We will take the call from Abu Abdullah from al-Qassim. Go ahead, Abu Abdullah. Peace be upon you. And upon you, peace. By Allah, I have two questions. The first. I am an elderly man and I am paralyzed, and I want to perform 'Umrah, but I cannot control my urination. I wear a diaper. I do not know if it is permissible for me to wear a diaper while I am in ihram, or if it is not permissible. Okay, and the second question. The second question is that I perform tayammum for prayer because I cannot stand up, and I cannot manage to get to the bathroom, so I perform tayammum, and my left arm is paralyzed and does not extend for the tayammum. Okay, it is clear. May Allah grant you health. Yes. I make it a light wipe, a second light wipe. Okay, it is mentioned that an elderly paralyzed Shaykh, Shaykh, wishes to perform 'Umrah, and he wears a diaper. What is the Shaykh’s opinion on that?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. Fear Allah as much as you are able. If the diaper is sewn, this is wearing sewn clothing, and it is forbidden for a person in ihram to wear it. He wears it, but he must pay a fidyah of feeding six poor people, or slaughtering a sheep, or fasting for three days, as a fidyah for wearing sewn clothing. And if it is not sewn, then there is nothing required of him. Yes.
