The Ruling on Ghusl Before Ihram

Question:
Among the questions from the questioner Umm Muhammad from the city of al-Zulfi, she says: “O His Eminence the Shaykh, I intended to perform the lesser pilgrimage and took a ritual bath in the city of al-Zulfi. She says: When I reached the boundary point—al-Sail al-Kabir—my family and I wanted to take a ritual bath a second time. When I put soap on my body and turned on the water, it was cold, and I feared for myself; so I left off the ritual bath and wiped the soap off my body with a towel, then I performed the lesser pilgrimage. Is my lesser pilgrimage valid?”

Answer:
Yes, the ritual bath is not obligatory; it is recommended. The ritual bath in the house is sufficient, the ritual bath in the house is sufficient, and praise be to Allah. The ritual bath is not obligatory, it is not obligatory, but it is recommended in the major pilgrimage and the lesser pilgrimage before entering the state of consecration, if that is facilitated, and it is not required. Praise be to Allah. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you.
