During the state of Ihraam, I wore a sewn garment for a few hours.

Question

During the state of Ihraam, I wore a sewn garment for a few hours. What is the kaffaarah? Can the kaffaarah for this error be paid in South Africa?

Answer

Since the sewn garment was worn less than 12 hours, the kaffaarah (penalty) is Sadqah. This is the same amount as Sadqah Fitrah which is approximately the price of 2 kg bread flour. The kaffaarah applies even if the garment was mistakenly worn. This penalty may be paid in South Africa. Only if a dumm (animal) is incumbent, then it will have to be slaughtered in the Haram area.
