In a clarification relevant to pilgrims, Dar Al-Ifta addressed the issue of men wearing stitched clothing during Ihram and whether it affects the validity of Hajj rituals.

First: Ihram attire for men
The fatwa official stated that Ihram for men has a specific form in Islamic law, consisting of two unstitched garments (Izar and Rida), representing the simple and prescribed dress for pilgrimage.

Second: Wearing stitched clothing during Ihram
He explained that wearing stitched clothing during Ihram is considered a violation of the rules, and whoever does so must immediately remove it and return to the correct Ihram attire. However, this does not invalidate Hajj but requires correction.

Third: Women’s Ihram clothing
Women are allowed to wear regular stitched clothing while maintaining modesty, without a specific color requirement, and they must not cover the face and hands during Ihram.
