Restrictions for a person in the state of Ihraam -I

Clipping nails, shaving, cutting or removing hair:
This is restricted regardless of the means with which they are done,
and regarding the hair, then the restriction applies whether it is
fromthe head or any other part of the body.
Allaah Says )what means(:"And do not shave your heads until the Hady
)offering( reaches the place of sacrifice…"]Quran 2:196[
In such a case, one must pay atonement, which is fasting three days,
or feeding six poor people with a Mudd )750 gm( of fine wheat each, or
slaughtering a sheep.
There is consensus among the scholars that a person in the state of
Ihraam is forbidden to clip his fingernails without any genuine
excuse. However, if a nailis broken, one may remove it without
incurring any penalty. Removing the hair is permitted, if it becomes
harmful.
Using perfume on the body or clothes:
This applies whether done by a man or a woman. Ibn 'Umarreported that
'Umarsmelled the pleasant smell of perfume coming from Mu'aawiyahwhile
the latter was in the state of Ihraam. 'Umarcommanded him: "Get back,
and washit off. I have heard the Prophetsaying:"A pilgrim must be
unkempt and without any perfume."]Al-Bazzaar[
The one who applies perfume during Ihraam has to make a compensation,
which is fasting three days, or feeding six poor people with a Mudd of
fine wheat each, or slaughtering a sheep.
It is permissible, however, to smell the things that are not planted
for their scent such as apples and quince.
Wearing clothes dyed with scented material:
There is agreement among scholars that wearing a Hajj garb dyedwith a
scented material isnot allowed unless it is washed and its smell is
removed. The Prophetsaid: "Do not wear )while in the state of Ihraam(
any clothes dyed with warse or saffron without washing them."]Ibn
'Abdul-Barr and At-Tahaawi[
The one who wears clothes dyed with scented material while being in
the state of Ihraam has to compensate by fasting three days, or
feeding sixpoor people with a Mudd)750 grams( of fine wheat each, or
slaughtering a sheep.
Engaging in hunting:
A person in the state of Ihraam may fish or eat sea game. It is
forbidden,however, for a person in the state of Ihraam to hunt on
land, by killing or by slaughtering. It is also forbidden for him to
point it out, or indicate its place if it is invisible, or scare it
off. It is also forbidden for him to spoil eggs of animals living on
land. Buying, selling them, or milking these animals is also forbidden
while in the state of Ihraam. Allaah Says )what means(:"Lawfulto you
is )the pursuit( of water-game and its use for food - for the benefit
of yourselves and those who travel, but forbidden is )the pursuit( of
land game - as long as you are in a state of Ihraam )for Hajj or
'Umrah(. And fear Allaah to Whom you will be gathered back."]Quran 5:
96[
In the case of killing a game animal, the penaltyis to slaughter a
domesticlivestock animal )i.e. a camel, cows or sheep( equivalent to
it.
Eating game-meat:
It is forbidden for a person in the state of Ihraam to partake of any
land game prepared for his sake, at his suggestion or with his help.
Abu Qataadahreported that Allaah' s Messengerwent for Hajj and they
also went with him. The Prophetdispatched a group, including Abu
Qataadahand told them:"Follow the seashore until we meet again." All
of them except Abu Qataadahwere in the state of Ihraam. On the way,
they saw a herd of zebras. Abu Qataadahattacked them and killed a
female zebra. They all ate of its meat but said:"Is it permissible for
us to partake of this land gamein the state of Ihraam?" Then they
carried the restof the meat to the Prophetand told him the whole
story. The Prophetsaid to them:'Did any one of you ask Abu Qataadah to
attack the herd, or point it out to him?"They said: "No."
Hesaid:"Then, you may eat what is left ofthe quarry."]Al- Bukhaari and
Muslim[
A person in the state of Ihraam may eat the meat of a game, which is
neither killed by him, norfor him, nor pointed out by him to someone
else, and in the hunting of which he did not help others.
The eating of a land game hunted by a personin the state of Ihraam or
for another person in thestate of Ihraam is unlawful for him, whether
it is done with or without his permission.
I this case, the person must repent and seek Allaah's forgiveness.
There's nothing reported from Sunnah that has made any expiation for
them other than repentance and seeking Allaah's forgiveness.
However, if someone elsewho is not in the state of Ihraam, hunted it
for himself, and offered or sold some of it to a person in the state
of Ihraam, he is permitted to eat of it.
