Does wearing medical compression stockings on the feet during Hajj due to a blood clot necessitate a Fidyah (expiatory offering)? And is it obligatory to offer two Fidyahs in Hajj Al-Tamattu‘ – one for ‘Umrah and the other for Hajj – if a Fidyah becomes due?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Whoever needs to wear medical socks while in a state of ihram for Hajj or Umrah does not commit a sin, but a fidyah (expiatory offering) becomes obligatory. If he wears them for both Umrah and Hajj, then he owes two fidyahs: one for Umrah and one for Hajj, because he committed a prohibited act in two different rituals.
