Question:
Are buttons, belts, or similar stitched items allowed while a person is in Ihram?
Answer:
Buttons are simply fasteners. They are not considered stitched garments themselves. In earlier times people used pins or thorns to hold cloth together. Today buttons serve the same purpose.
Similarly, belts are only used to hold the lower garment in place. Therefore:
- buttons
- belts
- bags
they do not fall under the prohibition of stitched garments in Ihram.
The prohibition specifically applies only to stitched clothing worn as garments, such as shirts, pants, and similar attire.
