Washing one’s body in order to cool down when in ihram
Question: 20707
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
It is permissible for the Muslim to wash his entire body in order to cool down if it is hot. This will give him more energy in order to perform this act of worship. He should take care when washing so that nothing falls from his hair or skin.
And Allah is the Source of strength. May Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions.
