prescribed by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) for theHajj or Umrah pilgrims.Similarly, the person, who did not carry the Ihram garments,should not delay his Ihram till he reaches Jeddah, but it isobligatory for him to do Ihram in his trousers, in case, he did nothave with him, an Izar, as Prophet Muhammad (peace be uponhim) has been reported in a Sahih Hadith as saying: “Who doesnot find shoes, should wear socks and who does not find an Izar,should wear trousers.”However, he must keep his head uncovered, because ProphetMuhammad (peace be upon him), when asked about what aMuhrim should wear? He said: “He should not wear shirt, turban,trousers, coat and socks except when he does not find shoes.”(Agreed upon)For Muhrim, it is not permissible that he wears turban, cap orsome other things used to cover the head. If he has a turban of acovering sheet, which he can use as Izar, he should use it as Izar,and in this case, he should not wear trousers. When he arrives inJeddah, he must put off his trousers and replace it with an Izar ifhe can do so. If he did not have trousers and also did not have aturban which he can use as Izar, then, it is permissible for him,when he is on his way by air or sea and is in parallel to Miqaatthat he should do Ihram with his (long) shirt, which he iswearing, however, he should keep his head uncovered. When hereached Jeddah, he should buy an Izar and put off his shirt andsince he wore shirt, he will have to pay Kaffarah, that is to feedsix poor persons as per the local standard, or to observe thefasting for three days, or slaughter a goat. He has the choice to doone of the three options as Prophet Muhammad (peace be uponhim) had given the option to Ka'b Ibn Ajrah, when he permittedhim to shave his head during his Ihram, due to the illness that hewas suffering from.119
