We usually get a lot of questions about whether a person once enters the state of Ihram can take a bath or can change the Ihram. situation arises.
We have got a fatwa that answers your query.
Can you Take a Bath and Change Ihram after Wearing It?
It is permissible to take a bath and even change the Ihram.
Sheikh Ibn Uthaymin said in a fatwa that it is okay for a Muslim to take a bath, it is proven from the act of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) who performed Ghusl while being in the state of Ihram.
Evidence
- Based on the 22/144 fatwa by Shaykh Ibn `Uthaymin (may Allah have mercy on him).
##Bottom Line
Islam focuses on cleanliness, focusing on the same point, it is permissible for a person to do anything to stay clean. Especially in Ihram, we’re in a state of constant worship, so it is ideal to take a bath if you think you or the ihram is getting dirty by any chance.
