Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on a man in ihram wearing socks, given that he wears them out of fear that he might touch women during tawaf, which would invalidate his wudu'?
Answer:
It is not permissible for a man to wear socks on his feet, nor on his hands, nor to wear sewn garments as long as he is in ihram. His statement that he fears touching women is an example of excessive strictness; it is excessive strictness and exaggeration for which there is no need. He should avoid women even if he does not wear socks. And if he happens to touch a woman unintentionally, there is no blame on him for that.
