Whether it is permissible to use small head covers that protect from the sun through their being tied around the head while performing Hajj


A: This type of umbrellas which protects from the sun by being tied to the head has the same ruling as a turban. It is not permissible for a Muhrim man (pilgrim in the ritual state for Hajj and `Umrah) to wear it because the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: A Muhrim man should not wear a shirt, a turban, trousers, or hooded cloaks. (Agreed upon by Al-Bukhari and Muslim)May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
