Ruling on removing the ihram for the purpose of bathing
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the last of this questioner's questions, he mentions and says: I saw some pilgrims at 'Arafah and Mina removing their ihram in order to bathe, and after finishing, they put the ihram back on. Is this permissible?
Answer:
Yes, there is no harm. It is fine for a person to remove the ihram to cool off or because of the heat, taking the rida' off his back due to the heat and then putting it back; there is nothing wrong with that. Or, when he wants to cool off and refresh himself, he removes the ihram, the izar and the rida', cools off, and then puts them back. All of this is permissible, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you, O Shaykh.
