What is the ruling on wearing sewn khuff during ihram?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A pilgrim in should not wear khuffs (leather slippers reaching above the ankles) if sandals are available. However, if sandals are not available, he may wear khuffs, provided they are cut below the ankles, according to the majority of scholars. This differs from the well-known view of Ahmad and Ibn Taymiyyah, who permitted wearing them without cutting. A woman is permitted to wear khuffs unconditionally.
