Covering the head, even with something other than the turban
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
And among the prohibitions of ihram: Covering the head, even with something other than the turban, is forbidden for a person if he places a scarf on his head. The evidence for this is the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the man whose camel fell on him: “Do not cover his head,” meaning: do not cover it.
As for carrying goods, meaning: Placing luggage on the head is not considered covering; because it is not usually intended for concealment, so there is no blame on a person for carrying his luggage on his head.
As for seeking shade without concealment, there is nothing wrong with it.For example: Using an umbrella for rain or heat is permissible for the one in ihram.And the evidence for that is what Umm Husayn (may Allah be pleased with her) saw: She saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the Day of Sacrifice on his mount, with Usamah and Bilal with him; one of them was leading the mount and the other had raised a garment to shade him from the heat until he stoned the Pillar of Aqabah.
And this is clear evidence.And based on that: It is permissible for a Muslim to ride in a car with a roof; because this is seeking shade and not covering, contrary to the well-known position of the Hanbali school (may Allah have mercy on them), who say: that it is not permissible for the one in ihram to ride in a car with a roof.
And this position is weak.
And know that covering the head falls into four categories: 1- Covering the head with something intended for concealment; this is forbidden.
2- Covering the head with something not intended for concealment, such as carrying luggage; this is lawful.
3- Seeking shade with something attached to the one in ihram, such as an umbrella or a car; there is disagreement regarding this,And the correct view is: that it is permissible.
4- Seeking shade with something separate from the one in ihram, such as a tent or a tree, placing a garment over it to cover him; this is lawful by consensus.
