It is permissible to sew the garments of ihram if they tear

Question: If a person is in the state of ihram for Hajj or 'Umrah, and his ihram tears because he fell to the ground, is it permissible for him to sew it, or not?

Answer: He may sew it, and he may replace it with something else. The matter is broad in this regard, with the praise of Allah. The sewn garment that is prohibited is the one that encloses the entire body, such as a shirt, a T-shirt, and the like. As for the sewing in the izar or the rida' because it is made up of two or more pieces, where some of them are sewn to others, there is no blame in that. Likewise, if a tear or rip occurs in it and he sews it or patches it, there is nothing wrong with that.
