Fidyah for wearing sewn clothing and covering the head in Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Shaykh, I incurred a fidyah because I wore sewn clothing during Hajj. My son and I, of course. They said I have to feed six poor people, and my son has to feed six poor people as well. We did feed them, but they said that since you are still wearing a head covering, you owe six more poor people. I have not paid this yet, Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
Yes, covering the head has a separate fidyah, and wearing sewn clothing on the body has another separate fidyah. In both cases, one is given the choice between fasting for three days, feeding six poor people, or freeing a slave. Yes.
The questioner:
But, Shaykh, what is it called, the head covering? I don’t know about it there.
The Shaykh:
No, my brother, be patient, be patient, my brother. It is not freeing a slave. You are given the choice between fasting for three days, feeding six poor people, or slaughtering a sheep. Yes.
The questioner:
Okay, Shaykh, what is it called, the head covering? I didn’t pay for it in Makkah.
The Shaykh:
Yes, you pay it in Makkah when you go, or you appoint someone to pay it.
The questioner:
I mean, I call one of my acquaintances there and tell him to pay it.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah bless you, Shaykh, and may Allah make your knowledge beneficial.
