Question: Can sweaters, socks
or an underwear be worn in Hajj with the ihram?
Answer: The apparel that has
been prescribed for pilgrims is one that reflects simplicity in its ultimate
sense. It symbolizes his detachment from the world he generally lives in.
Men are required to wear two un-stitched woven sheets. Whatever else they
may wear should also be un-stitched. Sweaters, socks and underwears should
therefore be avoided. Women are exempted from this requirement.
