Things forbidden to the person in ihram until they leave it.
The steps
- Removing hair and clipping nails.
- Perfume on the body or clothes after making the intention.
- For men: wearing stitched clothing cut to the shape of the body, such as a shirt or trousers, and covering the head with something that touches it.
- For women: the niqab and gloves. A woman may lower part of her covering over her face when men pass by.
- Hunting, contracting a marriage, and sexual intercourse and what leads to it, which is the most serious.
The evidence
“The woman in ihram should not wear a niqab or gloves” (al-Bukhari 1838, narrated by Ibn Umar).
Whoever does something forbidden, such as using perfume or wearing stitched clothing, out of forgetfulness or ignorance, owes nothing according to the stronger view of many scholars, and should remove it as soon as they remember.
