Is the Hajj of a security officer valid if he is wearing his military uniform?

The Shaykh : Is the Hajj of a security officer valid if he is wearing his military uniform?

The Shaykh : The Hajj is valid, without doubt, because the most that is involved is that he committed a prohibited act out of necessity, since a military officer’s work cannot be done in civilian clothing. Therefore, he wears it out of necessity and pays a fidyah (ransom payment) for covering the head and for wearing sewn garments.

The questioner : ... So his Hajj is valid, for example?

The Shaykh : If he stands at 'Arafah at its proper time, his Hajj is valid.
