Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Is it permissible to wear an izar that has belts or threads at the top, making it like a skirt, especially for someone who needs it because of his obesity?
Answer:
Is this regarding ihram? No, it is not permissible. He wraps the izar and places a belt over it to secure it, and the belt has pockets in which he puts his belongings and his money.
