Note
The following is incumbent upon the Muhrim for Hajj or ‘Umrah:
1. That he abide by Allah’s religious obligations upon him, such as prayer in its time (in congregation for men).

2. That he avoid all of what Allah has prohibited such as obscenity, disobedience, and argumentation.
"ومن فرض فيهن الحج فلا رفث ولا فسوق والجدال في الحج"
“If anyone undertakes Hajj therein. Let there be no obscenity, nor wickedness, nor argumentation during Hajj.” [Surah al-Baqarah (2):197]

3. That he avoid harming fellow Muslims, whether by words or actions, within the Mashaa`ir29 or elsewhere.

4. That he avoid all of the restrictions of Ihraam:
a. He should not cause the loss of any of his hair or nails. A prick by a thorn and the like is unobjectionable, even if there is bleeding.

b. He should not perfume himself, his clothing, his food or his drink after entering Ihraam. He should also abstain from cleansing himself with scented soap. There is no harm in what re mains of the effect of perfume used prior to Ihraam.

c. He should not touch, kiss, etc. his spouse out of passion and, even graver, should not have sexual intercourse.

d. He should not be wed or propose to a woman for himself or others.

f. He should not wear gloves, although there is no harm in wrapping the hands in cloth. This ruling applies for both men and women.

The following pertains specifically to men:
a) He may not cover his head with something that touches it, although there is no harm in the use of an umbrella, the roof of a car or tent for shade. There is also no harm in carrying his baggage atop his head.

b) He cannot wear a shirt, turban, hooded cloak, trousers, or shoes or socks above the ankle. Only if he is unable to obtain an Izaar30 or sandals can he wear trousers or shoes.

c) He cannot wear anything with the same qualities of the above mentioned such as an Abaa`ah,31 Qubba‘ah, hat, undershirt, etc.

It is permissible for him to wear sandals, rings, glasses, a hearing aid, a watch – whether worn on his wrist or hung from his neck – or a speech aid. It is permissible for him to cleanse himself with unscented cleansers and to wash and scratch his head and body,

even if some of his hair falls unintentionally. In such a case, he need not offer expiation.

A woman may not wear a niqaab or burqa’. The Sunnah is for her to uncover her face except if men not related to her might see her, in which case it is obligatory for her to cover her face32 during Ihraam and otherwise.

From Allah is all success, and may He exalt and send blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and all of his family and company- ions.
