لبس الكمامة حال الإحرام

Abstract EN

This paper addresses one of the novelties while performing rituals, i.e.

wearing a mask by a person who enters a state of Ihram.

A mask is defined as what is placed on one’s mouth and nose to avoid infection, dust, harmful gas, etc.

Reviewing and examining the opinions of scholars of Fiqh, it turned out that it is forbidden to wear a mask that covers the cheeks and the lower part of the face below the eyes down to the chin during Ihram, fixed on the face by two strings on the ears or the back of the head.

Whoever wears it has to offer a sacrificial ram for expiation because it resembles face masks which is forbidden to wear by anyone entering the state of Iharm.

Any cover made for any body part is forbidden during Ihram, but if need be, one must offer a sacrificial ram as an expiation.

The same applies to the woman who enters the state of Ihram because she is forbidden to wear veils, but if need be, one must offer a sacrificial ram as an expiation.
