Question : Is it permissible for a woman in ihram for Hajj to change her clothes whenever she wishes?
Answer : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and I send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow them in excellence until the Day of Judgment. It is permissible for a woman in ihram to change her clothes whenever she wishes, on the condition that she changes them into clothes that are not forbidden by the Shari'ah, meaning she does not change into clothes that would make her display her adornment (tabarruj). Because this is forbidden (haram) in the state of ihram and outside of it.
Likewise, it is permissible for a man to change his ihram garments for another set of ihram garments, changing the rida' (upper garment) for another rida' and the izar (lower garment) for another izar, and so on.
Because it is not required of one who enters ihram with a certain garment to continue wearing it until he exits ihram, as some of the common people think. That is, some of the common people think that if a man enters ihram with a certain garment, it is not permissible for him to remove it until he exits ihram, and the same for the woman. This is not correct. Rather, it is permissible for the man and the woman to change their ihram clothes for other clothes that are permissible in ihram.
