Is there a specific garment for ihram?

Question: 106571

Is there a specific garment for ihram?.

Answer

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.

There is no specific garment for ihram in the case of women; rather a woman may wear whatever she wants, except that she should not wear the niqaab or gloves. The niqaab is that which is worn over the face, in which there is a hole for the eyes; the gloves are that which is worn on the hands. 

In the case of men, there is a specific garment for ihram, namely the izaar (lower garment or waist wrapper) and rida’ (upper garment). He should not wear a thobe or pants or headgear or burnoose or khufoof (leather slippers). End quote. 

Majmoo’ al-Fataawa by Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 22/13
