Offences and their Expiations 221
Question 7: Is it allowed for a Muḥrim to sleep in a sleeping bag to
protect against cold, covering his entire body except the face and
the head
Answer: Yes. It is allowed for a Muḥrim to do so because this is not
referred to as wearing clothes.
Question 8: If a Muḥrim has the problem of passing drops after
urination, what should he do
Answer: It is advisable for him to tie an unstitched Taĥband (i.e. a
piece of cloth used to cover the lower part of the body). To tie a
Taĥband in the state of Iḥrām is absolutely permissible provided it
is unstitched. (Mulakhkhaṣ az: Fatāwā Razawiyyaĥ, vol. 10, pp. 664)
Question 9: Is there any expiation for wearing stitched clothes due
to the compulsion of illness etc.
Answer: Yes. If a Muḥrim wears clothes from head to toe due to
sickness, it will be considered one unintentional offence 1 . If he has
worn clothes for the period of a day or night or more than it, Dam
will be Wājib. In case of wearing clothes for less than this period,
Ṣadaqaĥ will be Wājib.
If there is the need of wearing just one cloth due to illness but he
wears two clothes; for example, if there is the need of wearing just
shirt but he wears stitched vest as well, though there will be just one
expiation in this case, he will be considered a sinner.
If he wears the extra clothes on any other part of the body, for
example, there is the need of wearing just trousers but he wears shirt
as well, there will be one unintentional offence and one intentional
offence.
