What are the basic permissible activities for Hajj Pilgrims?

For Hajj Pilgrims is the last and ultimate pillar of Islam that is often termed as a significant pilgrimage. Though there is no doubt that Hajj involves various restrictions and prohibitions, some rules that are made by the people are neither mentioned in Quran and nor described by the scholars. As per the Quran [Soorat-al Baqarah, Ayah 185], Allah Subhanahu و جل عز said that he has not implemented difficulties for the Hajj pilgrims.

Some of the permissible acts that people avoid due to fear are mentioned below, if unsure please do not hesitate to contact us here:

  • Bathing in the state of Ihraam – there exist a huge controversy about whether to take shower in the condition of Ihraam or avoid it. Although it is said that it is better that pilgrims remain untidy and dirty during Ihraam state, the same is not mandatory. Regardless, the reasons for taking a shower, those who desire to take bath can opt for it.
  • Scratching the head – many people believe that scratching the head during the state of Ihraam is restricted as the same leads to hair fall which is not acceptable and is further considered as a prohibition. However, this perception does not hold water as falling of hair is a natural phenomenon and one cannot control the same. hence, rubbing, brushing, and scratching the head is permissible for the Hajj pilgrims
  • Wearing rings, belt, or watch – according to the several narrations, Hajj pilgrims that opt to tie up the belt around the waist, wear rings, watch spectacles, and even those who carry money wallet around their neck are violating the Islamic laws of Hajj. However, there isn’t an evidence regarding the same in the holy book Quran nor the Prophet Mohammed ﷺ and other famous scholars said this. Therefore, Muslims can wear the above-mentioned accessories without any fear.
