The muhrim (a person in a state of ritual consecration for Hajj or ) is forbidden from wearing khuffayn (leather slippers covering the ankles) or jawrabayn (socks) if sandals are available. However, if there is a need to wear socks or other forbidden sewn garments—for instance, due to heat, cold, or medical treatment—it is permissible, and (expiatory payment) becomes obligatory. The fidyah offers a choice between: fasting for three days, or feeding six poor persons (half a sa' of food for each poor person), or sacrificing a sheep.
