I am a girl who performed the obligatory Hajj this year, and praise be to Allah. What is troubling me is that on the Day of Sacrifice, we went to the stoning of the pillars on foot from Mina to the pillars, and from the pillars to the Holy Sanctuary, and I was wearing socks without sandals, and as we were walking, the streets were dirty and had water in them, and we could not avoid the dirty places because of the heavy crowd, and when we reached the Sanctuary, I entered the Sanctuary with my socks wet, and I could not take them off because they are part of the ihram clothing, and I entered the Sanctuary and performed tawaf and sa'y while they were impure, and I do not know if my Hajj is valid. Guide us, may Allah reward you with good?

The questioner : I am a girl who performed the obligatory Hajj this year, and praise be to Allah. What is troubling me is that on the Day of Sacrifice, we went to the stoning of the pillars on foot from Mina to the pillars, and from the pillars to the Holy Sanctuary, and I was wearing socks without sandals, and as we were walking, the streets were dirty and had water in them, and we could not avoid the dirty places because of the heavy crowd, and when we reached the Sanctuary, I entered the Sanctuary with my socks wet, and I could not take them off because they are part of the ihram clothing, and I entered the Sanctuary and performed tawaf and sa'y while they were impure, and I do not know if my Hajj is valid. Guide us, may Allah reward you with good?
The Shaykh : Her Hajj is valid, and the water that she steps on with her foot, if she is not certain of its impurity, the original state is purity, and there is no difference in this between the water being as you mentioned.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : or in places of spaciousness, the water whose impurity a person does not know and is not certain of, its ruling is that it is pure; it does not make his garment impure, nor his sandal, nor anything at all.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : As for her saying that she did not take them off because they are part of the ihram clothing, perhaps she believes, as many people believe, that one who enters ihram with a garment cannot take it off, and this is not correct, for it is not permissible for the one in ihram to change his ihram garments, whether out of need or not.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : if he changes them to what is permissible to wear during ihram.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : As for what is widespread among the common people that he does not change them, this has no basis, so if this woman took off these socks if she was worried about them, and then put on clean socks, there is no harm in that for her.
The questioner : Yes.
