Is it permissible for a person in ihram to take shade with an umbrella?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : The umbrella.
Answer : It is like the example, or rather, it is even more so. It is more so than the palanquin, because the palanquin is carried, whereas the umbrella is attached. So if the palanquin is forbidden, the umbrella is forbidden a fortiori. However, the correct opinion is what we mentioned here: it is not permissible for the one in ihram to take shade with a car, an umbrella, or a garment he places on a tree. As for the last one, placing the garment on a tree, even the school of thought says there is no harm in it, like the case with horses. What we mentioned is the correct view, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Do not cover your heads." And the one taking shade with these things is not covering his head. Also, it is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he took shade with a garment. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stoned the Jamarat al-Aqabah on the day of Eid, and Bilal and Usamah were with him. One of them was carrying him, and the other had raised a garment over him to shade him from the sun. If this is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and it is not established from him that taking shade is forbidden, that indicates permissibility. So it is permissible for the one in ihram to take shade with an umbrella.
