Summary
A person in ihram is forbidden to wear items covering the feet such as shoes, boots or leather socks, and sandals are the most suitable footwear. If the wound is small and can be left unbandaged, leaving it uncovered is better and no fidyah is due. If it is deliberately bandaged out of need and covers the whole foot or most of it, such as a foot in a cast, the fidyah al-Aza is required: fasting three days, feeding six poor people in Mecca, or slaughtering a goat, and the person is not sinful. A small, minor bandage incurs no dam or fidyah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dalam hal ini, jika sedikit dan kecil sahaja balutan tersebut, maka ianya tidak dikenakan dam dan fidyah kerana ianya tidak menepati dengan maksud kasut, khuf mahupun stoking.
