The Case of a Man who Wears a Shirt for Dress for al-’Ihram or Afterwards

“About a man who wore a shirt in the state of Ihram, he (the Imam) said, ‘He must take it off but must not tear it; and if he has worn it after assuming the state of Ihram, he must tear it and take it off from the sides of his legs.’”

“A man entered Masjid al-Haram in the state of Ihram and began performing Tawaf with a shirt and a gown on him. People went to him and tore his shirt, but he stood firm. Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), saw him when people were tearing his shirt. He (the Imam) asked him about how he has done it. He said, ‘I assumed the state of Ihram like this in my shirt and gown.’ He (the Imam) told him to remove it from the direction of his head. ‘One like him is not required to remove it from the direction of his legs. He did not know (the rule).’ Another one came and asked him (the Imam), ‘What do you say about a man who assumes the state of Ihram in his shirt?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘He must remove it from the direction of his head.’” (Fatwa best explains this Hadith)

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If you wear in the state of Ihram a cloth which is not proper, you must say Talbiyah again and take Ghusl (bath); and if you wear a shirt, then tear it and remove it from the direction of the bottom of your feet.’”
