Question No. 17:
Is it permissible for the woman to put on Ihram using any garments she wishes?
Answer No. 17:
Yes, she can put on Ihram in any garments she wishes. There is no particular dress for the woman to make intention of Ihram, as it is understood by some common people. It is better for her to put on Ihram in garments that are not so beautiful and attractive, because she will find herself mingling with foreign people. She should wear simple clothes that are not attractive and so beautiful which fascinates the on-lookers. If she puts on Ihram in beautiful garments that's correct, but she abandons the best. In respect of male person, it is better for him to put on Ihram in two white garments. (Izar & Rida). There is no objection if he puts on Ihram in garments that are not white. It is established from the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) that he made Tawaf wearing a green garment. It is also established from him (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) that he had worn black turban. In short, there is no objection to put on Ihram in a garment other than white.
