Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: My wife performed wudu from the well, but she did not take a bath. Is her 'Umrah valid? May Allah grant you success.
Answer:
Taking a bath is a recommended practice (sunnah), and taking a bath when entering the state of ihram is a recommended practice, not obligatory. Her ihram is valid, if Allah wills, and her 'Umrah is valid because she left off a recommended practice and did not leave off an obligatory one.
