Women
enter the ihraam in any clothing they wish
Question:
Is it allowed for a woman to enter the state of ihraam
in any clothing she wishes?
Response:
Yes, she may enter the ihraam
in whatever clothing she wishes. She does not have any specific
type of clothing that she must wear for ihraam
as many of the general public think. But it is best for her
to enter the ihraam
in clothing which is not beautiful and will not attract the
one who sees it. This is because she is going to be mixing
with men, so her clothing must not be such that it tempts
the looker. It should not be beautiful but should be customary
and not a temptation.
