I cannot perform Hajj in the ihram garments because they cause me great discomfort due to matters we do not wish to mention. Is it valid for me to perform Hajj in my regular clothes?

Question:
He says: I am a man who cannot perform Hajj in ihram because it causes me great discomfort due to matters we do not wish to mention. Is it valid for me to perform Hajj in my regular clothes, and is there a fidyah (ransom payment)? Please clarify this. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
It is obligatory for the male pilgrim in ihram to remove stitched garments and wear the izar (lower garment) and rida (upper garment). If he needs to wear stitched garments due to illness or a condition that requires wearing them, he should wear them and pay the fidyah. He pays the optional fidyah, which is fasting for three days, or slaughtering a sheep to be distributed to the poor of the Haram, or feeding six poor people.
