Ruling on loosening the hair, combing it, and covering the face for the one in ihram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
He says: Is it permissible for the one in ihram to shake out his hair or loosen his hair and comb it, and to cover his face to protect against dust, a storm, or hot winds?
Answer: There is nothing wrong with it. There is nothing wrong with loosening his hair without cutting it. There is nothing wrong with loosening his hair and washing it, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Aisha to loosen her hair while she was in ihram. She had entered ihram for Hajj, having previously entered ihram for 'Umrah. But when she reached the vicinity of Makkah, menstruation came upon her before she could perform the rites of 'Umrah. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her:
Loosen your hair and comb it, and do what the pilgrims do, except that you do not circumambulate the House until you are purifiedانقضي رأسك وامتشطي وافعلي ما يفعله الحجاج غير أن لا تطوفي بالبيت حتى تطهري
He permitted her to loosen her hair and comb it while she was in ihram. So there is nothing wrong with the one in ihram loosening his hair and combing it without perfume. All of this is permissible. Likewise, there is nothing wrong with changing his clothes, as mentioned earlier. All of this is permissible. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
