Removing the Ihram Garments to Bathe, Then Putting Them Back On
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I am a man. After arriving from Muzdalifah to Mina, and before stoning the first pillar of the Aqabah, and before shortening the hair, I entered the bathroom and took a cold shower. Because of the intense heat, I took off my ihram garments, then put them on again. I ask for clarification: is there anything required of me in this?
Answer:
There is no blame on you for that. The one in ihram may bathe in Muzdalifah, or at 'Arafah, or in Mina, or in Makkah. He does not just bathe; he takes off the ihram garments and bathes, whether under a shower or without one. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) bathed while in ihram. When he arrived in Makkah, he bathed, then entered Makkah and performed tawaf, and it was permissible for him. The one in ihram does not just wait; he cools off, or removes dirt, or dust, or cools off. Praise be to Allah. He takes off the garments, then bathes, then puts them on again. Praise be to Allah.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
