Umrah is a pilgrimage performed by Muslims all over the world. The main advantage of this pilgrimage that it can be performed more than once. It helps bring pilgrims peace and the almighty God forgives them of their sins.
The rules of Ihram are something that most pilgrims are confused about, one of the things that the women had unsure of whether or not they are allowed to wear jewelry during Umrah.
Can women wear jewelry during Umrah?
had jewelry allowed in Ihram? The majority of Muslim jurists find it permissible for women to wear jewelry unless it is used for tempting or grabbing the attention of men. Dr. Abdul Kareem Zidan states the following
“It had allowed for a woman to wear any jewelry during Ihram as it had been noted in Al-Bukhari that ‘A’ishah found it fine to wear jewelry for a muhrimah”. Also, it had stated in Al-Mughni by Ibn Qudamah that Imam Ahmed reported that Nafi’ said, “Ibn ‘Umar’s wives and daughters used to wear jewelry and dresses dyed with safflower during ihram, and he never once told them not to”. He also reported – as stated in Al-Mughni – that “A’ishah elaborated that a woman can wear in ihram whatever she used to wear when she is not in the state of ihram, such as jewelry. The Hanbali school of thought allows wearing jewelry. The same goes for Malikis and Hanafis adopt the same view based on the juristic ruling that wearing jewelry is allowed.”
So, this clears out the misconceptions, ihram for women allows wearing jewelry. Some more information can be found on this topic, Mahmoud Ismail, said
“The majority of Muslim jurists rule that wearing jewelry during Umrah is allowed; however if it is done with bad intentions such as exposing it in front of other men – other than the mahrams, if it is worn for temptation or grabbing attention that it is not allowed and such an act is haram and jewelry should not be worn with such intentions. However, if it is worn with good intentions only then the shariah allows”
Ihram for women:
Ihram rules for ladies allow a loose robe to cover the whole body the robe can have seams and buttons, but shouldn’t have adornments or colors. It can be white or black, the hands and face should remain exposed and the ladies have to wear footwear that covers the entire feet. When in Ihram, they have to maintain distance from other men and should stay with their mahram.
Ihram had just important for women as for men and they have to follow certain rules if they want their Umrah to be completed in the truest manner in the eyes of Allah. Once in the state of Ihram, women had not allow to comb or clip their hair. This sacred state of the Ihram brings them closer to God and the main aim of the Ihram is to ensure that all Muslims look the same and don’t attract any attention. Still, women had allowed to wear jewelry.
These rules are to be followed to the letter any deviance will result in the Umrah not being successfully performed, if any rules mentioned are violated, obligatory fidya must be paid as Ihram penalties.
