Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The bulletproof vest...?
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : The bulletproof vest?
The Shaykh : We ask Allah to keep this away, O Shaykh. May Allah will that there is no fear to this extent, meaning that a person in the state of ihram might be shot at. But if we assume there is no obstacle, I say if we assume there is no obstacle to that, because if protecting the leg from pebbles and thorns permits a person to wear what is prohibited, then this is all the more so.
