[Q 319] Covering Your Feet with a Blanket While in the State of Ihram

Question

Can a man use a stitched blanket or duvet and can it cover his feet?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

الجواب بعون الملك الوهاب اللهم هداية الحق والصواب

Answer

If a person is in the state of Ihram, it is permissible for him to cover himself with a blanket or duvet to be guarded against the cold or to sleep, but with the condition that he keeps his face and head uncovered.

As long as his face and head remain uncovered, there’s no harm in the rest of his body being covered.

Therefore, in the situation mentioned, if the feet are covered while sleeping under the blanket, no penalty (Dam) or Sadaqah will be Wajib in this case.
