The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is it permissible to put buttons on the izar that open and close?
The Shaykh:
No, this is like sewn clothing. Buttons are like sewn clothing; it is not permissible. He should wrap the izar around himself and secure it, and make it wide, but he should not put buttons in it, nor make it like a skirt.
The questioner:
And likewise, may Allah preserve you, is it permissible to put clips in the izar?
The Shaykh:
Likewise, this is like sewn clothing. Neither buttons nor clips should be used if there is no need for them. Yes. The rida (shoulder cloth) does not need clips or buttons. As for the izar, it is secured with a belt. Yes, and there is no need for this. Yes.
