Q 1: I entered Ihram (ritual state for Hajj and `Umrah) from the city of Al-Ta'if. I was wearing trousers but forgot to remove them. I did not remember until I was inside Makkah after which I instantly took them off. (Part No. 10; Page No. 150


A: There is no atonement due on the pilgrim who forgetfully continues to wear Makhit (clothes sewn to fit body limbs), such as trousers, after entering Ihram for Hajj or `Umrah and then removes them after he remembers. In this case, the pilgrim is not blameworthy. Accordingly, your Hajj or `Umrah is valid, In sha’a-Allah (if Allah wills), since you are excused for forgetting, by the Saying of Allah (Exalted be He): Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error It is authentically reported on the authority of the Prophet (peace be upon him) that Allah (Exalted be He) responded: I did (pardon you). The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: My Ummah (nation based on creed) has been pardoned for what they do by mistake, forgetfully, or under duress.
