Prohibited matters in the state of Ihram

while writing important Masail e Hajj we consider it very important to also write on respect of Ihram these are some of the things prohibited when you are in the state of Ihram:

               (1) hunting, helping a hunter, (2) cutting trees, grass, plants, etc. within the boundaries of Haram or killing flies, mosquitoes, lice, etc., (3) plucking any hair from the body or clipping nails, (4) sewn Wearing clothes like shirt, shalwar or hat etc., 

(5) Using perfume, like bathing with perfumed soap or applying perfumed perfume or using perfume in food and drink. 

(6) Covering the head and face for a man and covering the face with a cloth for a woman (of course, it is necessary for a woman to cover her head), (7) Establishing a marital relationship between husband and wife.

Farewell circumambulation

The last Tawaf at the time of departure from Makkah is called “Farewell Tawaf”. This circumambulation is obligatory for pilgrims who live outside the boundaries of the miqat. There is no Ihram in Tawaf-e-Wada,  no ablution, no Ramal and no Sa’i of Safa and Marwah, Tawaf is always ablution. This is the last circumambulation, so at the time of departure from the house of Allah, pray for everyone with great humility and reluctance, requesting(praying) to be called again.
