A person in ihram covering his face

Alqamah used to cover his face while in the state of ihram.

Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "We were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the state of ihram. When we met riders, we would let cloth hang down from over our heads onto our faces, and when we had passed beyond them, we would lift the cloth up."

Ibrahim said: "If a person in ihram is troubled by the wind, there is no harm in him raising his garment from in front of him and covering with it up to his forehead."

Al-Farafisah bin Umayr said: "I saw Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) with his face covered while in the state of ihram."

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "(A person in ihram) may cover his face with his garment up to the hair of his head." The narrator Abu al-Zubayr demonstrated by gesturing with his garment up to his head.
