However...

However, still during night time one is travelling under the shade of the vehicle\u2019s roof, hence would be protected from the rain or cold but that way the day-time Hajj \/ Umrah has been abandoned which is emphasised in the Ahadith, i.e., the best time to put Ihram on is just after mid-day ( Zawal time) [8] .

\n Therefore, it has now become a norm, men in Ihram, mostly opt for the travelling during the evenings (under the shade of night) to avoid the sun-shade obligations (as rain is scarce in Makkah \u2013 but some dew still falls). However, when it\u2019s a deliberate and intentional act, wouldn\u2019t it be the same situation as to take the night-shade in order to dodge the sun-shade obligation in the cover of the night?

It may draw a parallel to that of the actions of the Jews which Allah \u2011azwj Mentions in the Holy Quran, i.e., Sabbath – catching of the fish not on Saturday but trapping it on Saturday and catching it on Sunday. [9] Hence, under both day and night times, a male Mohram would ride the same vehicle (with roof) but sun is under the shade of night in the second scenario. \n Nowadays, do we have any options to comply with the travelling without using a vehicle shade?

i.e., travelling in an open-top transport, is not a possibility at all. Therefore, in the absence of open-top transport, both situations of the travel during the day and night remain the same. Under the roof of the vehicle during the night time dew is not falling on a Mohram , while during the day the sunrays are blocked!

However, during the day, a Mohram is exposed to the sunrays after getting-off the vehicle, but during the night time sun is blocked by the night during the performing Hajj \/ Umrah rituals, the only slight difference is a little falling of dew, which may be pleasant rather than abhorrent, as compared with the discomfort to the Mohram caused by the radiating sunrays during the day time.\u00a0 In Ahadith, we learn that the best time to put Ihram on is just after the midday, but it is permissible to wear Ihram any time during the day and night, e.g., see the Hadith in the footnote.

[10] \n The question still remains unanswered; Will Allah -azwj Compel a \u2018 Mohram \u2019 not to use a shade when a Mohram cannot find an open-top transport during Hajj or Umarh? \n Allah -azwj does not Compel His -azwj Creatures, as we will only be asked for that which was possible for us to act upon.
