Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. During last year's Hajj, while we were at Muzdalifah, we experienced severe cold. Some of us had large sleeping bags, like a sack, which they enter when sleeping, leaving their head outside. Is there anything wrong with this type of bedding?
Answer:
Do not enter the sleeping bag, because this garment is sewn. Leave it open, because it has a zipper; if you pull it, it becomes like a sewn garment, so do not enter it. If you use it for warmth, there is no harm, but do not close it; keep it open.
