Ihram and miqat
Is a man in ihram for umrah allowed to wear a diaper due to a disability, and may he wear underwear to hold it in place?
Answer in brief
A man who is elderly or has a valid excuse is permitted to wear a diaper while in ihram, because it is not classed as a sewn garment. Men in ihram are forbidden from wearing sewn clothing that fits the shape of the body or a limb, such as singlets, undershirts and underwear. A person in ihram is not required to remain in a state of purity at all times, except during prayer and tawaf.

Begitulah juga dengan pampers, kerana ia bukanlah termasuk dalam kategori pakaian berjahit sebagaimana yang telah kita bahaskan di atas.
