Ruling on covering a defective hand for one in the state of ihram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
This is a Sudanese resident in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. He says: May the Shaykh be respected, with Allah’s permission, I intend to perform the obligatory Hajj this year, but I have a defect or a clear fracture in my right hand, and I dislike for people to see it. I am fully believing in the divine decree. Is it permissible for me, when entering the state of ihram, to cover the right part of my hand with a piece of cloth, and if possible, with a part of the ihram garments themselves? Please advise us on this.
Answer: There is no blame on you in that. Cover it with a piece of the ihram garments. As for doing something specific, no. But if the edge of the ihram garment comes over your hand, there is no blame, praise be to Allah, and the matter is easy. Even if people see the fracture, praise be to Allah in any case; they will pray for you. The point is that there is nothing wrong with placing the edge of the ihram garment over the site of the fracture. Yes.
The presenter: All right.
