Ihram is required for all forms of Hajj and Umrah. It is also known as the rukn (pillar) of Islam. All fields of the study acknowledge that Ihram is worn at designated holy limits (Miqat), based on the route from which pilgrims enter Makkah. Because it is regarded as a responsibility on the pilgrims, it also imposes some limits on them. The following are the most notable limitations placed on the pilgrim who wears Ihram.
Use of Perfumes
A muhrim (the person who wears Ihram) cannot use
fragrance for sniffing, applying to the body, or scenting foodstuffs. It is also
forbidden to cleanse the muhrim's body with anything that contains hunut. In
the Imamiyyah and Shafi'i schools, they are not required to perform any prayers
or rituals if the scent is used in ignorance; nevertheless, in the Hanafi and
Maliki schools, they are required to give a sacrificial offering (fidyah). If a muhrim
applies perfume on purpose, they should donate a sheep, as per the Imamiyyah
school of thought. Perfume or scented substances may be used if they are part
of a pharmaceutical or medical product.
Usage of Kohl
Kohl's admissibility is addressed in two doctrines: According to Al
Tadhkirah, "there is agreement amongst some of the Imamiyyah legists that
tinting the lids with kohl or using a kohl comprising scent is not acceptable
for the muhrim, either a man or woman." It is acceptable but not in the state of
Ihram. As per al Mughni's source, "antimony-containing kohl is makruh and
therefore does not necessitate any fidyah." There are no opposing
viewpoints on this subject. Consequently, there is no karahah in using
antimony-free kohl as far as it does not include any scent."
Trimming of Nail and Hair, And Tree Pruning
All five schools of thought believe that the muhrim is
not authorized to trim their nails or remove or cut their body and head hair. In the event of
carelessness, a fidyah is necessary. It is likewise forbidden to remove or
uproot any plant that naturally occurs within the Haram. According to Al
Shafi'i', there really is no distinction in the prohibitions, and fidyah is
necessary for both: "the cutting of a large tree needs fidyah of a cow,
and of other plants, a sheep." Malik declares that uprooting a tree is
wrongdoing; yet, no punishment is imposed on the culprit, irrespective of
whether the tree was cultivated with or without "human intercession."
According to the Imamiyyah, Hanafi, and Hanbali
schools, removing something established by man is permissible and does not
necessitate a fidyah; however, pruning anything established by nature
necessitates one. All schools believe that cutting down a broken or
dried tree or rooting out dead grass is permitted.
Viewing in A Mirror
While the muhrim is not entitled to glance in a
mirror, all schools accept that doing so requires no atonement or fidyah. It is
permissible to gaze into the water.
Applying Henna
The muhrim,
whether man or woman, is permitted to use henna to color any portion of the
body excluding his head. Apart from hands and feet, the Shafi'i school allows
it. It
is entirely forbidden by the Hanafi school. Imamiyyah believes the practice to be
makruh rather than haram.
Usage of Head Covering
A muhrim male is not permitted to wear a head covering. He is not
permitted to immerse his head entirely beneath the water, according to the
Maliki and Imamiyyah schools, but he is permitted to clean his head or throw
water on it, according to all schools save the Shafi'i.
Fidyah is not demanded by
the Imamiyyah or Shafi'i schools, but it is obligatory by the Hanafi school. Except in the
Shafi'i school, the muhrim is not entitled to shelter himself while strolling. He is not
authorized to ride a vehicle, a plane, or something enclosed by a roof; yet, he
is not prohibited from passing through a shadow.
Stitched Clothes & Ring
Stitched clothing that encloses the bodily parts is disallowed. Women are authorized to wear them, with the exception of gloves and perfume-scented clothing. According to the Imamiyyah school, if the muhrim wore them in cluelessness, he is not compelled to offer a sacrifice; but, if he gets to wear them to shield himself from hot or coldness, then it is allowed. A muhrim, male or woman, is not licensed to don jewelry for the purpose of beautification.
In Essence,
Muslims should keep these aspects in mind while
performing Umrah. To make their journey successful they should be extremely
cautious of the above-mentioned factors. Muslims can obtain top-class 14 nights’ economy or premium Umrahpackages.
