What is the rationale for the Hanbalis prohibiting the wearing of a waist belt by a person in the state of ihram, and the ruling that one who wears it must pay a fidyah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Abu Salah, Mu'tasim ibn Salah, is the son's name Salah?
The questioner : The father.
The Shaykh : The father, okay, he says: As for the waist belt and anything that does not require financial maintenance, it is not permissible to tie it because there is no need for it. What I understood from your words is that it is permissible for the person in ihram to do everything except what evidence indicates is prohibited. So what is the rationale for the prohibition here? And likewise, his statement: If he needs to tie the waist belt due to pain in his back, he should do so and pay a fidyah. What is the rationale for the prohibition?
They consider this to be of the same category as wearing sewn garments, but the correct view is that there is no prohibition in this.
