The things that are prohibited during Ihram
Question:
What are the things that the Muhrim must avoid?
Answer:
The Muhrim must avoid nine prohibited things that the scholars have explained. They are: 1. avoiding cutting the hair, 2. avoiding cutting nails, 3. avoiding perfume, 4. avoiding wearing a garment with a seam in it (i.e., sewn to fit the members of the body), 5. avoiding covering the head, 6. avoiding killing game animals, 7. avoiding sexual intercourse, 8. avoiding marriage, 9. avoiding touching women with lust. The Muhrim has been prohibited from all these things until he removes his Ihram. In the first stage of removing the Ihram, all of these prohibited things become allowed except for sexual intercourse. Then, when he completes the second stage (of removing Ihram), sexual intercourse becomes lawful for him.
