Is it obligatory to take a bath when exiting the state of ihram from 'Umrah or Hajj?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it necessary to take a bath to exit the state of ihram from 'Umrah?

Answer:
Taking a bath when entering the state of ihram, whether for 'Umrah or Hajj, is recommended (mustahabb) and not obligatory, in order to remove sweat and dirt from the skin. It is a recommended practice (sunnah) and not obligatory. If one enters the state of ihram without taking a bath, there is nothing wrong with it; his ihram is valid.
