The ruling on a person in ihram wearing sewn clothing out of necessity

Question:
May Allah reward you. Brother Ahmad from Abha is also with us on the line. Go ahead, my brother Ahmad. Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. And upon you be peace, and Allah’s mercy. How are you, Shaykh Salih? Go ahead. Peace be upon you. Welcome. Shaykh, I performed 'Umrah, and during the tawaf, I was wearing a bandage on my knee because I had knee surgery, and it was necessary to have it there because I was afraid for my knee, and the surgery was still healing, so I didn’t know if I could wear sewn clothing. Just like this. Sit down, state the question, and raise your voice. Go ahead, say it again. I performed 'Umrah. I performed 'Umrah, and there was a bandage on my knee. It was tightened firmly to hold it in place because I had knee surgery. I went. I was doing tawaf and sa'y, and this bandage was on my knee. The question is clear. Go ahead, Shaykh Salih.

Answer:
He says that he performed 'Umrah while in the state of ihram for 'Umrah, and he had a bandage on his knee. Yes, Shaykh. Or a wrap, or a medical wrap. Yes, Shaykh. Yes, if it is sewn, if this wrap or this bandage is a circular sewn piece on the knee, then he owes a fidyah (ransom payment). He is given a choice between feeding six poor people, each poor person receiving half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg), or slaughtering a sheep in the Haram (sacred precinct), with the feeding also taking place in the Haram, or fasting for three days. He is given a choice among these. However, if this wrap is not sewn, but is merely wrapped around the knee without sewing, then there is nothing required of him, and praise be to Allah. Praise be to Allah.
