The Ruling on Marriage and Engagement for One in Ihram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for one in ihram to contract a marriage?

Answer:
No, the one in ihram does not marry and is not married off, as stated in the authentic hadith where the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
A pilgrim may not marry and give someone in marriage in the sacred state(while wearing ihram).لا يَنكح المحرم ولا يُنكح
Sunan Abi Dawud 1841Sahih (Al-Albani)
He also does not propose marriage, nor does he propose women in marriage as long as he is in ihram.
Q: And what about the one in ihram testifying to a marriage?
The Shaykh: I do not know of anything regarding it; because he is neither the one marrying nor the one being married off.
