Ruling on the ghusl of the one in ihram, his use of soap, and changing his clothes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
As the listener Abdullah Ahmad Fadl al-Sayyid from the Democratic Republic of Sudan, Khartoum, sent a message to the program, stating at the beginning:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our master Muhammad, his family, and all his Companions, and all praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. I listen to your daily programs, especially the program "Light on the Path," in which you answer listeners' religious questions. On this occasion, I would like to pose some questions to your presence, hoping for answers for the sake of the good of Islam and Muslims. He says in his first question: Is it permissible for the one in ihram to take a ghusl and to change his ihram clothes if they become dirty? Is it permissible for him to use fragrant soap? Also, is it permissible for the one in ihram to shake out his hair, comb it, and cover his face to protect against dust, a storm, or hot winds? Please inform us, may Allah reward you.
Answer: It is permissible for the one in ihram to take a ghusl, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took a ghusl while in ihram, peace and blessings be upon him. So there is no harm in the one in ihram taking a ghusl while in ihram. There is no harm in the one in ihram taking a ghusl, and there is no harm in changing his clothes if they become dirty or if they do not become dirty; there is no harm in changing them. He wears an izar in place of an izar, and a rida' in place of a rida', and so on. For the woman, there is no harm in changing her clothes: a qamis in place of a qamis, an izar in place of an izar, sarawil in place of sarawil, a khimar in place of a khimar, a finilah in place of a finilah. All of this is without harm. Likewise, a shirab in place of a shirab; all of this is without harm, whether for the man or the woman. And so is the use of sidr, soap, shampoo, and the like; all of this is without harm. However, if the soap is of the fragrant type, like musk, it is safer to leave it; because it contains a scent of perfume. Leaving it is safer and more appropriate for the one in ihram. All these matters, praise be to Allah, are without harm. Yes.
