Wearing a belt to secure the izar (lower garment) during ইহরাম is permissible জমহুর উলামাদের মতে. Sheikh Ibn Baz explicitly ruled that using a belt, cord, or similar fastener to keep the izar in place is allowed, as the prohibition in ইহরাম concerns garments tailored and stitched to fit the body's contour (such as pants, shirts, and robes), not accessories used to fasten the ইহরাম cloth. নবী করীম (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম) prohibited the muhrim from wearing shirts, trousers, turbans, hooded cloaks, and leather socks, but did not mention belts or waist fasteners.
Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen similarly permitted money belts and waist pouches worn during ইহরাম for safekeeping money, documents, and identification. He noted that হাজীগণ need a secure way to carry their valuables, and a money belt serves this practical purpose without violating the spirit or letter of ইহরাম restrictions. The Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta also issued a fatwa permitting belts during ইহরাম.
There is a minor difference of opinion among some scholars regarding whether the belt should be plain or whether it matters if it resembles regular clothing. However, the overwhelming majority agree that a simple belt, cord, or money belt is permissible. What remains prohibited is wearing any garment that is sewn to fit a specific body part, such as underwear or shorts under the izar.
