The prohibitions of Ihram and their types

Question :

What are the prohibitions of Ihram and what are their types?

Answer:

They are nine: (1) Shaving the hair of the head or the body. (2) Cutting the nails of the hand or the foot. (3) Wearing a garment with a seam in it for the man. This is everything that is stitched to fit a certain part of the body, like the shirt, pants, a bathing suit, the Jubbah (long robe, open in the front with wide sleeves), flannel underwear, the Qaba' (an outer garment with full-length sleeves), and the 'Aba'ah (cloak) and so forth. (4) Covering the head with things that are affixed to it, like the turban and the Qalansuwah (cap, hat or Kufi). However, this does not include the umbrella, the tent, and carrying items on top of the head, for there is no harm in that. (5) Using perfume, which is everything that has a pleasant fragrance with the intent of using it on the garment or the body, such as musk, rose, the scent of aromatic flowers and the rest of the fragrant oils. (6) Intending to hunt wild game animals of the land, such as birds, like the pigeon, the bustard, the partridge, the sparrows and similar birds. It could also be the gazelles, the mountain goats, the wild donkeys, the lizards, the jerboa, the daman (a furry desert rodent) and similar animals. (7) The marriage contract. This means that the Muhrim may not make a marriage proposal, he does not take a wife in marriage, nor does he act as a guardian giving someone away in marriage and so forth. (8) Having sexual intercourse in the vagina with his wife or his female slave. (9) Touching (the woman) in places other than the vagina, kissing, touching with lust and so forth.

These things are divided into four categories. The first category requires a ransom of atonement (Fidyah) to be made, but the Hajj is not invalidated by it. This category is the first five things (mentioned above). The second category requires a compensation (Al-Jaza') (sacrifice) similar to it and like it, and that is hunting game animals. The third category nullifies the Hajj and it does not require a sacrifice (Fidyah), and it is marriage Contract. The fourth category does not nullify the Hajj and it requires a ransom of atonement (Dam), and it is touching (with lust).
