IRSYAD HUKUM HAJI DAN KORBAN SIRI KE-31 : MEMAKAI PAMPERS KETIKA SEDANG BERIHRAM BAGI MENGERJAKAN IBADAH UMRAH
Can a man with a disability wear a diaper while in ihram for umrah, and may he wear underwear to hold it in place?
Short answer
A diaper is permitted for an elderly or disabled person because it is not among the prohibited sewn garments, much like a loincloth that is not joined or stitched.

Summary
A diaper is permitted for an elderly or disabled person because it is not among the prohibited sewn garments, much like a loincloth that is not joined or stitched. A man in ihram is forbidden from wearing sewn garments that cover the body or a limb, such as a singlet, undershirt and underwear. A person in ihram need not stay in a state of purity at all times except during prayer and tawaf, and tawaf requires purity from hadath and from impurity that is not excused.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Bagi seseorang yang telah lanjut usia atau ada keuzuran, dibenarkan untuk memakai cawat yang tidak bersambung atau berjahit.
