Can You Change Your Clothes While in Ihram?

28 May, 2024
Q When performing Hajj and staying overnight in Mina I had a "wet dream" (out of my control). When I woke up I immediately made ghusl and washed and changed my ihram. Did I do the correct thing and is my Hajj still valid?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. 

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.


In this fatwa:

It is permissible for the muhrim, male or female, to change the clothes in which he or she entered ihram and to put on different clothes.

It is permissible for the pilgrim in ihram to change his ihram clothes.

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen said: 

“It is permissible for the muhrim (pilgrim in ihram) who is doing Hajj or ‘Umrah, male or female, to change the clothes in which he or she entered ihram and to put on different clothes, if the other clothes are things which it is permissible for the pilgrim in ihram to wear.” (Al-Manhaj li Murid al-‘Umrah wa’l-Hajj, no. 5) 

Almighty Allah knows best.
