The ruling on buying a new garment for ihram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says: I have become accustomed to entering ihram in a new garment that I buy, and my husband tells me to enter ihram in whatever clothes I wish. Is there anything required of me if I commit to buying a new garment for every 'Umrah or every Hajj?

Answer:
There is no need to buy a new garment. Rather, as your husband said, enter ihram in whatever ordinary clothes you have that contain no adornment. There are no specific clothes for a woman to enter ihram in; she is only forbidden from two things: wearing the qirqas (a veil that covers the face) and wearing the niqab (face veil). Beyond that, it is permissible for her to wear what is customary for women in her country, provided she covers herself and maintains modesty. Yes.
