Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on placing an umbrella over the head during tawaf?
Answer:
For a person in ihram? Yes, there is no harm. It is permissible for a person in ihram to place something over his head to provide shade, such as an umbrella. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he entered the state of ihram, a tent was set up for him with a cloth, and he sat under it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took shade under the tent. And when he was stoning the Jamarat al-Aqabah on the day of Eid, a garment was placed over him to provide shade, peace and blessings be upon him. So, if the shade is not touching the head—if the shade from the umbrella or the object providing shade is not touching—then there is no harm, provided it is raised above his head. There is no harm, yes.
