Shoulder Coverage in Ihram: What to Cover and What to Bare

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Which shoulder must we cover and which must we bare when we enter into Ihram?

Bismillaah

A: At the time when one commences the tawaaf, one will keep the right shoulder open and pass the ihraam towel under the armpits of the right shoulder and place it on the left shoulder. This is known as Idtibaa’. This will be carried out throughout the seven rounds of tawaaf.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
