The Ruling on Taking Shelter Under a Canopy Above the Head of a Person in Ihram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to use a canopy placed on the head, given that it is not touching the head?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had a tent set up for him at Namirah, and he entered it and took shade under it. He was shaded while stoning the pillars at the Aqabah, and he was shaded with a garment. So there is nothing wrong with shade that is elevated above the head. Yes.
