Rafiq-ul-Haramayn 53
Farḍ to be concealed in Ṣalāĥ, or that exposes the colour of skin
(of that part), the Ṣalāĥ will not be valid. (Fatāwā ‘Ālamgīrī, vol. 1,
pp. 58) Nowadays, the trend of wearing thin clothing is growing.
Wearing such thin clothes that expose any part of thigh or Satr is
Ḥarām even when not offering Ṣalāĥ. (Baĥār-e-Sharī’at, vol. 1, pp. 480)
6. It is a Sunnaĥ to apply fragrance to Iḥrām before you have made
the intention. Do apply fragrance to Iḥrām but do not put the
bottle of fragrance into the pocket of the belt you are wearing,
because fragrance may come into contact with your hand if you
put the hand into the pocket after you have made the intention.
If so much amount of fragrance has come into contact with the
hand that others consider it to be ‘more’ Dam will be Wājib. If
they consider it less, Ṣadaqaĥ will be due. If the liquid of the
fragrance has not come into contact, but rather it has only
caused the hand to have fragrance, there will be no expiation in
this case. If you want to put the bottle of fragrance into your
bag etc. wrap it in some polythene bag and then put it at such a
place where it will not come into contact with your hand etc.
7. If the upper shawl has slipped down from shoulders and the
Muḥrim is going to draw it up, he should take care that it neither
touches his own head or face nor that of any other Muḥrim. I 1
have personally seen that the upper shawls of some Muḥrim
when being drawn up in the crowd had caught on the bald
heads of other Muḥrims.
8. Most of the Muḥrims tie Taĥband (i.e. sarong) of Iḥrām from
beneath their navel. Sometimes the upper shawl falls from their
shoulders due to carelessness, exposing some part of the body
beneath the navel. Such Muḥrims do not usually care about it
