Discussion on covering the face for the one in ihram.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The apparent meaning of the author’s words (may Allah have mercy on him) is that covering the face is not forbidden or prohibited, because he said "So whoever covers his head" and did not address the face. If he did not address it, the original ruling is permissibility. Accordingly, there is nothing wrong with the one in ihram covering his face. This is a point of disagreement among scholars. Some said it is not permissible for the one in ihram, meaning the man, to cover his face. Others permitted it based on the authenticity of the wording found in the hadith of Ibn Abbas regarding the story of the man whose camel trampled him. In the two Sahihs, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said
Do not cover his head لا تخمروا رأسه
and Muslim narrated that he said
And not his face ولا وجهه
The scholars differed regarding the authenticity of this wording. Whoever considered it authentic said it is not permissible for the one in ihram to cover his face. Whoever did not consider it authentic said it is permissible. Ibn Hazm (may Allah have mercy on him) said it is permissible in the state of life and not permissible in the state of death, or vice versa.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : No, no, I told you that his illness is serious. Yes, the fans affect the recording.

The questioner : The air conditioner.

The Shaykh : The air conditioner, that is what is working now. There is nothing wrong with its operation. Did you hear, Abdullah?

The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "And if a man wears sewn clothing, he must pay expiation. And if he perfumes his body or his garment, or anoints himself with perfume, or smells a perfume, or uses incense or the like, he must pay expiation. And if he kills edible wild game, even if it is a descendant of it and another, or if it perishes in his hand, he must pay its penalty..."

The Shaykh : Perishes

The questioner :"Or if it perishes in his hand, he must pay its penalty. And it is not forbidden to kill a human animal, nor sea game, nor a person in ihram..."

The Shaykh : Person in ihram

The questioner :"Nor a person in ihram, nor one whose eating is forbidden, nor a beast that attacks. And it is forbidden to contract a marriage, and it is not valid."
