Ihraam – Exceptions? (Ahadith 1562 – 1564)
Bismillah.
Volume 3, Book 29, Number 67:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas (radiallaahu `anhu):
I heard the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) delivering a sermon at ‘Arafat saying, “If a Muhrim does not find slippers, he could wear Khuffs (but he has to cut short the Khuffs below the ankles), and if he does not find an Izar (a waist sheet for wrapping the lower half of the body) he could wear trousers.”
Volume 3, Book 29, Number 68:
Narrated Abdullah (radiallaahu `anhu):
Allah’s Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) was asked what sort of clothes a Muhrim should wear. He replied, “He should not wear a shirt, turbans, trousers, a hooded cloak, or a dress perfumed with saffron or Wars; and if slippers are not available he can wear Khuffs but he should cut them so that they reach below the ankles.
Volume 3, Book 29, Number 69:
Narrated Ibn Abbas (radiallaahu `anhu):
The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) delivered a sermon at ‘Arafat and said, “Whoever does not get an Izar can wear trousers, and whoever cannot get a pair of shoes can wear Khuffs.”
Socks:
It is not permissible for a man who is in ihraam to wear socks, but it is permissible for a woman to do that.
The Standing Committee was asked: what is the ruling on wearing socks on the feet and doing tawaaf al-qudoom in them during Hajj, and doing the tawaaf of ‘Umrah in them during ‘Umrah?
They replied:
It is not permissible for men to wear socks when in ihraam for Hajj or ‘Umrah. If he needs to wear them because of sickness etc, then he must offer a ransom (fidyah), which is to fast for three days, or to feed six poor persons, giving each one half a saa’ of dates or similar food, or to sacrifice a sheep.
Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah li’l-Buhooth al-‘Ilmiyyah wa’l-Ifta’, 11/183.
Trousers:
“Whoever does not find an Izar (chadar) can wear trousers”. I doubt if there’s anyone today who fits this description. Going for Hajj, spending huge sums of money, one just might find enough to buy two plain white sheets for his Ihraam, right?
Khuffs:
Dealt with already. See this.
Hajj – Ihraam [Apparant] (Ahadith 1311 – 1315)
Bismillah.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 611:
Narrated Said bin Jubair:
Ibn ‘Umar (radiallaahu `anhu) used to oil his hair. I told that to Ibrahim who said, “What do you think about this statement: Narrated Aswad from ‘Aisha (radiallaahu `anhaa): As if I were now observing the glitter of the scent in the parting of the hair of the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) while he was Muhrim?”
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 612:
Narrated ‘Aisha (radiallaahu `anhaa):
(the wife of the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam)) I used to scent Allah’s Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) when he wanted to assume Ihram and also on finishing Ihram before the Tawaf round the Ka’ba (Tawaf-al-ifada).
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 613:
Narrated Salim from his father:
I heard that Allah’s Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) assumed Ihram with his hair matted together.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 614:
Narrated Salim bin ‘Abdullah :
I heard my father saying, “Never did Allah’s Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) assume Ihram except at the Mosque, that is, at the Mosque of Dhul-Hulaifa.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 615:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar (radiallaahu `anhu):
A man asked, “O Allah’s Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam)! What kind of clothes should a Muhrim wear?” Allah’s Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) replied, “He should not wear a shirt, a turban, trousers, a headcloak or leather socks except if he can find no slippers, he then may wear leather socks after cutting off what might cover the ankles. And he should not wear clothes which are scented with saffron or Wars (kinds of Perfumes) . “
- Putting on perfume before Ihraam is a Sunnah (for men).
- It’s better to assume Ihraam at the miqaat. One may do it before as well.
- Clothes of a muhrim must not include shirts/turbans/trousers/head-cloak.
- Leather socks (below ankles) may be worn.
The Khuffs [Leather Socks] (Hadith No. 136)
Salam,
Bismillah.
This is the last Hadith of Kitaab-ul-‘Ilm. Kitab-ul-Wudu (Ablution) starts tomorrow, inshaAllah! :)
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
A man asked the Prophet : “What (kinds of clothes) should a Muhrim (a Muslim intending to perform ‘Umra or Hajj) wear? He replied, “He should not wear a shirt, a turban, trousers, a head cloak or garment scented with saffron or Wars (kinds of perfumes). And if he has n slippers, then he can use Khuffs (leather socks) but the socks should be cut short so as to make the ankles bare.”
The dress code for a Muhrim (one in Ihraam) includes the khuffain (a pair of leather socks). I was wondering if they’re worn on Hajj/’Umra or normally as well. And I found out various brands and labels selling them. I plan to get one – in a funky color inshaAllah. :D
Wassalam.
