and the like, and there is no disagreement regarding all of this. Ibn Abd al-Barr said: The wearing of any stitched garment is not permissible according to all scholars, and they have reached a consensus that what is meant by this are males, not females.

572- Issue: He said: (If he does not find an izar [waist-wrapper], he shall wear trousers, and if he does not find sandals, he shall wear the khuffayn, and he shall not cut them, and there is no fida' [expiation] upon him).

We know of no disagreement among the scholars that the Muhrim is permitted to wear trousers if he does not find an izar, and the khuffayn if he does not find sandals. This is the position held by Ata', Ikrimah, al-Thawri, Malik, al-Shafi'i, Ishaq, the اصحاب الرأي [Ashab al-Ra'y / proponents of legal reasoning], and others. The basis for this is what Ibn Abbas narrated, who said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) delivering a sermon at Arafat, saying: "Whoever does not find sandals, let him wear the khuffayn, and whoever does not find an izar, let him wear trousers for the Muhrim." (Agreed upon). Jabir also narrated the like of this from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and it was recorded by Muslim. There is no fidyah [expiation] upon him for wearing them in that case, according to the opinion of those we have named, except for Malik and Abu Hanifah, who said: Upon everyone who wears trousers, there is a fidyah, due to the hadith of Ibn Umar that we previously mentioned. Also, because that for which a fidyah became obligatory when worn while an izar was available, [the same] became obligatory even in its absence, like the shirt. Our evidence is the report of Ibn Abbas, which is explicit in its permissibility and apparent in the dismissal of fidyah, because he was ordered to wear it and [the Prophet] did not mention a fidyah. Also, because its wearing is restricted to the state of lacking an alternative, therefore no fidyah is obligatory for it, just like cut-down khuffayn. The hadith of Ibn Umar is specified [as applying to other circumstances] by the hadith of Ibn Abbas and Jabir. As for the shirt, it is possible for him to wrap it around his waist as an izar without wearing it [as a shirt] and to be covered, unlike trousers.

Section: If he wears the khuffayn due to the lack of sandals, it is not required for him to cut them, according to the well-known position from Ahmad, and this is also reported from Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him). This is also the position held by Ata',
