Is there a specific garment for Ihram?
Ihram Garment Rules for Men and Women:
--Must wear Izar and Rida’ (upper and lower garments)
--Must avoid anything that is formfitting
--Can wear any modest clothing
--Must avoid Niqab and gloves
Praise be to Allah.
Shaykh Ibn `Uthaymin (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
There is no specific garment for Ihram in the case of women; rather a woman may wear whatever she wants, except that she should not wear the Niqab or gloves. The Niqab is that which is worn over the face, in which there is a hole for the eyes; the gloves are that which is worn on the hands.
In the case of men, there is a specific garment for Ihram, namely the Izar (lower garment or waist wrapper) and Rida’ (upper garment). He should not wear a thobe or pants or headgear or burnoose or Khufuf (leather slippers). (End quote from Majmu` Al-Fatawa, 22/13)
