The ruling on fastening the ihram garments with pins or clips
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Honorable Shaykh, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings. No, I hope not, what Allah willed, may Allah bless you. What is the ruling on what some people do of fastening their ihram garments with pins or clips, to the point that some make them like clothes?
Answer : It is better for a person not to fasten his cloak; it is better not to fasten his cloak, but rather to drape it over his shoulders. However, if he is working as a cook, a coffee maker, or the like, and wants to fasten it with a clip, there is no harm in that. As for what was mentioned in the question, that some people fasten it with clips from the neck to the navel so that it becomes like a shirt, I doubt the permissibility of this, because in that case it resembles a shirt, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding the one in ihram that he does not wear a shirt. Yes.
