Using Velcro, Elastic & Press Studs On Ihraam

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

In principle, it is Makrooh (disliked) for one to use an Ihraam with Velcro, elastic and press studs.[1]  

If one uses such an Ihraam, it is advisable to compensate for the wrong by giving some charity.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
