Question
Is it permissible for the person who is doing ‘umrah to put a bandage on his knee because he feels pain in it?.
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah:
Yes, it is permissible for the pilgrim who is doing ‘Umrah or Hajj to put a bandage on his leg to support it if it is hurting him, and even if it is not hurting him, if that will serve a purpose for him. Bandages and the like are not regarded as clothing. End quote.
