The ruling on one who stands at 'Arafah wearing sewn garments
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: May Allah reward you with your knowledge and benefit the Muslims with it. My superiors at work prevented me from entering the state of ihram. I came here to the Kingdom to work for them, and one of the scholars told me to stand at 'Arafah in my sewn clothes. What is required of me? Is my Hajj valid, given that I am unable to slaughter a sacrificial animal? And I am traveling to my country? What is obligatory for me to fast here? And what is obligatory for me in my country?
Answer: If you are a worker and they did not give you permission, do not enter the state of ihram. However, if they allowed you to enter ihram, there is no harm. If you are a worker employed by someone, you do not have the right to perform Hajj without their permission, because you are bound to their work as a hired employee, so you must complete what is between you and them. Muslims are bound by their conditions, and Allah says: [Al-Ma'idah: 1].
However, if they allowed you to perform Hajj, there is no harm, and you perform Hajj as Muslims do: you uncover your head, you wear the izar and the rida, and you do not wear sewn garments. Rather, you wear an izar and a rida and uncover your head.
As for performing Hajj when they did not give you permission, this is considered a sin. If you performed Hajj, the Hajj is valid, but you have disobeyed your Lord in this, because you neglected some of their rights, unless they gave you permission. If you performed Hajj while wearing a turban on your head or sewn garments on your body, you must pay the expiation along with repenting to Allah. The expiation is feeding six poor people, or fasting for three days, or slaughtering a sheep for covering the head, and the same applies for wearing sewn garments on the body. Feeding six poor people, where each poor person receives half a sa' (approximately one and a half kilograms), or fasting for three days, or slaughtering a sheep that is acceptable for the 'Id sacrifice for the poor in the Haram, for what you placed on your head of clothing, and for what you placed on your body of clothing. An expiation for the head and an expiation for the body. May Allah guide us and you and the Muslims.
