Question:
Does a woman in Ihraam leave her feet exposed too? How does she have to dress?
Answer:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
There are no special requirements for a woman’s Ihrām. She may wear any type of clothing. It is advisable to wear a simple and plain abāyā which covers her body properly.
A woman’s ihrām is in leaving her face uncovered. A woman must not let any cloth touch her face. This does not mean she should reveal her looks to strangers. There are caps available which have a veil attached to it away from the face. Such caps should be worn whilst in the state of Ihrām.
In addition, it is permissible for a woman to wear gloves and socks.
A woman does not have to leave her instep exposed like a male. She may wear any footwear whilst in the state of Ihrām.[1]
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
