Washing one’s body in order to cool down when in ihraam
Question: 20707
Is it permissible for the pilgrim in ihraam to wash his entire body in order to cool down?
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
It is permissible for the
Muslim to wash his entire body in order to cool down if it is hot. This will
give him more energy in order to perform this act of worship. He should take
care when washing so that nothing falls from his hair or skin.
And Allaah is the Source of strength. May Allaah send
blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions.
