The ruling on covering the face of a person in ihram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh’s case is what is good in terms of placement, as for one from Egypt, avoiding reading.
Answer:
This is a matter of scholarly disagreement: is it permissible for him to cover his face, or is it not permissible? The majority hold that there is no harm in covering his face while he is sleeping or sitting; there is nothing preventing a man from covering his face. Some scholars hold that his face is like his head and should not be covered, because it is reported in a narration of the hadith of al-Muharraq, whose mount stopped, that he should not cover his head or his face. It is mentioned in a narration that his face was included, and they used this as evidence that the face of a male person in ihram is like his head and should not be covered. Accordingly, he does not put a mask on it. Yes.
