Explaining the Sunnah regarding how the pilgrim in the state of ihram wears his garments

The following message was received by the program from the listener Salman Muhammad ibn Mas'ud from the sister state of Qatar. He says: It is customary that the method of wearing the ihram garments is for the pilgrim to uncover his right shoulder and cover his left shoulder, such that his right hand is exposed up to the shoulder, and he covers the left shoulder from the side of the chest and the back. However, I have seen some pilgrims covering both shoulders, and there are those who uncover both shoulders. I ask you to kindly clarify this issue so that the benefit may be widespread. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer: The Sunnah for the one in the state of ihram is to place the upper garment (rida') on both of his shoulders. The Sunnah is to place the upper garment on both of his shoulders, and to place its ends on his chest. This is the Sunnah, and this is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. When he intends to perform the arrival tawaf, he performs idhtiba', placing the middle of his upper garment under his right armpit and its ends on his left shoulder, and uncovering his right shoulder during the tawaf... only, specifically the arrival tawaf. He places the middle of the upper garment under his right armpit and the ends of the upper garment on his left shoulder, and uncovers his right shoulder during the arrival tawaf, the first time he arrives in Makkah for Hajj or 'Umrah. This is the Sunnah that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) practiced. Whoever does otherwise has contradicted the Sunnah. The one who uncovers his shoulder constantly is contradicting the Sunnah, and the one who uncovers both shoulders constantly is contradicting the Sunnah. Rather, the Sunnah is to cover them with the upper garment. This is the Sunnah while he is in the state of ihram. If he wears the upper garment but does not cover them while he is sitting, or while he is eating, or while he is talking with his brothers, there is no harm. But the Sunnah, when wearing the upper garment, is for it to be on his shoulders and its ends on his chest. This is the Sunnah, except in the case of the arrival tawaf, the first time he arrives in Makkah, when he performs idhtiba' as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. Idhtiba' is placing the middle of the upper garment under the right armpit and its ends on the left shoulder, with the right shoulder uncovered. When he finishes the tawaf, he adjusts the upper garment, placing it on his shoulders, and prays the two rak'ahs of the tawaf while he has adjusted the upper garment and placed it on his shoulders, as it was before he performed the tawaf. This is the Sunnah. Yes.
