The ruling on wearing trousers under the ihram garments

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Muhammad from Riyadh, please, Muhammad. Peace be upon you. And upon you, peace.

The Shaykh:
Peace.

The questioner:
How are you, Shaykh? I have two questions, Shaykh. The first question: We performed 'Umrah, and with us was a sixth-grade middle school student who was wearing an undergarment beneath his ihram. Does he owe anything, whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally?

The Shaykh:
If he did it intentionally and there was no need to wear that item, then he owes the fidyah (ransom payment). He is given the choice between feeding six poor people, with each poor person receiving half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg), which is one and a half kilograms, or slaughtering a sheep, or fasting for three days. He is given the choice among these matters. However, if he was unaware of the trousers under his garment, forgetting that he had worn them and not doing so intentionally, then he owes nothing. But it is obligatory for him to hasten to remove them once he becomes aware of them. Yes.
