The ruling on using hot water on the face for the pilgrim
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah keep you safe. What is the ruling on using the hot water that is applied to the mouth for the pilgrim?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it, if Allah wills, because what is forbidden is covering the head with the cap, whereas covering the face is considered permissible by the majority of scholars. The hadith came in a narration saying, "Do not cover his head or his face." Some scholars adopted this and said that the face has the same ruling as the head, but this is not clear. Based on this, there is no harm in using the hot water, especially if he needs it. He owes nothing, if Allah wills.
