Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : She asks: Is it permissible for a woman in ihram for Hajj to change her clothes whenever she wishes? And are there specific clothes for ihram?
The Shaykh : Yes, it is permissible for a woman in ihram to change her clothes to other clothes, whether that is out of need or not, but on the condition that the other clothes are not clothes of adornment and beauty in front of men.
Accordingly, if she wants to change some of the clothes she entered ihram in, there is no blame on her. There are no specific clothes for ihram for the woman, so let her wear what she wishes, except that she does not wear the niqab (face veil) and she does not wear gloves. The niqab is well known; it is what is placed on the face and has an opening for the eyes. As for the gloves, they are what are worn on the hands and are called hand coverings. As for the man, he has a specific dress for ihram, which is the izar (lower garment) and the rida' (upper garment). He does not wear the shirt, the trousers, the turban, the hood, or the leather socks.
