Wetting the Ihraam (ritual consecration) clothes with juice does not invalidate the Ihraam

Question

I assumed Ihraam from the Meeqaat (designated point to enter Ihraam). Later on, my friend spilled juice on my Ihraam clothes. Does this invalidate my Ihraam? Am I required to expiate for this?

 

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad is His Slave and Messenger.

 

There is no expiation due from you for what you have mentioned in the question. Moreover, this does not invalidate your Ihraam. What you have mentioned has absolutely no effect on your Ihraam. The scholars unanimously agree that it neither invalidates Ihraam nor requires expiation.

 

Allah Knows best.
