Wearing socks on the part of a Muhrim


434

Q: Last year, I performed Tamattu` Hajj (Umrah during the months of Hajj followed by Hajj in the same year with a break in between). It was my first Hajj and I wore socks when I was in the state of Ihram (ritual state for Hajj and Umrah). I read that this is invalid since wearing socks is only for women. Therefore, I hope that you will inform me about what I must do to correct this mistake with a clarification of the easiest of opinions. If it is necessary to make a Kaffarah (expiation), please tell me what kind I should make: whether I must observe Sawm (Fast) and if so, for how long, or if I must offer a Hady (sacrificial animal offered by pilgrims), what is its equivalent in cash, and the authority to which I must send it and the period during which I can send it. May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon you.


A: If the case is as mentioned, there is nothing due on you for wearing socks since you did not know about the ruling.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
