Does anything that shares the meaning of these five items restricted by the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), which the one in ihram does not wear, fall under the same ruling?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Does anything that shares their meaning fall under the same ruling? The answer is yes, anything that shares their meaning falls under the same ruling. For example, the shirt is similar to the kut. Do you know the kut? The kut is well known; it is worn on the chest. It falls under the same ruling, so it is not permissible for the one in ihram to wear it. The qaba also falls under the same ruling. The qaba is a wide garment with sleeves and an open front. It should not be worn because it resembles the shirt. However, if the qaba is draped over the shoulders without putting the arms into the sleeves, is this considered wearing it? The correct view is that it is not considered wearing it, because people do not wear it in this manner as a custom. The brans (cloaks) are similar to the abaya, as the abaya resembles the brans in some respects. Therefore, it is not permissible for a person in ihram to wear the abaya in the known manner after entering ihram. However, if he wraps it around his chest as if it were a rida (cloak), there is no harm in that. Now, regarding the sarawil (trousers), they are not worn. Does the taban fall under the same ruling or not?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : The taban is a type of short-sleeved trousers, meaning they do not reach beyond the middle of the thigh. I think you call them "half-haffa," but I am not sure what the name is?
The questioner : Half-length trousers.
The Shaykh : In any case, I will describe it to you in words: it reaches the middle of the thigh. Does it fall under the category of sarawil or not? The correct view is that it falls under the category of sarawil, because in reality it is trousers, but with short sleeves. Also, because it is usually worn in the same way as sarawil. Therefore, we include in these five items anything that resembles them, and we do not include anything else. For example, if a man ties his rida around his chest, is this forbidden? The answer is no, because the rida, even if tied, does not cease to be a rida. Now, if he fastens it with a clasp, is this considered wearing it? The answer is no, it is not like wearing a shirt; it is a rida with a clasp. However, some people have been lenient in this matter, and the man fastens his rida from his neck to his private parts, so it remains like a shirt. This is not advisable. As for fastening it with a single button so that it does not fall, especially when there is a need, such as if the man is personally working for his companions in coffee preparation, cooking, or the like, there is no harm in that. However, if he buttons it all the way from the beginning to the end, this resembles a shirt without sleeves. That is fine.
