Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is the removal of sewn garments a recommended practice?
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The questioner : I mean, if he does not remove his sewn garments, he must...
The Shaykh : Once he enters the state of ihram, it is obligatory for him to remove his sewn garments.
The questioner : Well, did you not say it is attached to a recommended practice?
The Shaykh : No, but it means that he should remove his sewn garments before he puts on the ihram garments, before he enters the state of ihram. Once he has entered the state of ihram, it is obligatory for him to remove them.
The questioner : He (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "It is recommended to say: 'O Allah, I intend to perform such-and-such a ritual, so make it easy for me. My place of sacrifice is where You have kept my camel.' The best of the rituals is tamattu', and its description is that one enters the state of ihram for 'Umrah in the months of Hajj, completes it, and then enters the state of ihram for Hajj in the same year. Upon the one who performs ifrad is a sacrificial animal."
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow them with excellence until the Day of Judgment. As for what follows, it has occurred to me that we should not discuss the past, because I fear that if we discuss the past, we will not be able to move forward. Do you agree to this?
The questioner : Yes
The Shaykh : So, you bear the responsibility for not wasting what has passed.
The questioner : Shaykh, the students benefit from this discussion.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : The students benefit from this discussion.
The Shaykh : Do they benefit?
The questioner : Very much.
The Shaykh : There is no doubt about the benefit. I said there is benefit in it, without a doubt. But you want to obtain this extended benefit, even if you do not complete the rituals.
The questioner : If the chapter is completed.
The Shaykh : It is all one thing, because even if the chapter is completed, what do you want to discuss? If the chapter has, for example, fifty issues.
The questioner : The lesson is complete, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : The important thing is that there is either a general discussion as usual, or we do not discuss anything except the important points, and we leave the rest.
The questioner : We leave it.
The questioner : Each person reviews it himself.
The Shaykh : Good, if Allah wills. Yes, so we will discuss the important things that are necessary, and we will let the individual issues go.
The questioner : If we discussed it ourselves, we would not have a concept like the concept of... May Allah reward you with good. The thing we benefit from is one issue that is worth to us as many issues, because if we discussed...
The Shaykh : Good, if Allah wills. We will see if we can choose the very important ones and ask you about them.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The questioner : I mean, if he does not remove his sewn garments, he must...
The Shaykh : Once he enters the state of ihram, it is obligatory for him to remove his sewn garments.
