Is it permissible to sew the sides of the ihram izār so that it is closed on all sides?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible to sew the sides of the ihram izār from the bottom to the top so that it is closed on all sides, or to attach an elastic cord to the top so that it holds it at the waist?

Answer:
O brothers, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do this. He took the izār, wrapped it around himself, and secured it with a belt. So you should do this: take the izār, wrap it around yourself, take a belt, and secure it with that. Leave the sewing and the fasteners and whatever these people are doing now to find ways to wear sewn clothing. This is a ruse to wear sewn clothing. Yes.
