Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Rites of Hajj, Practical Treatise and Rules Mustahab acts of Ihram 1- Cleaning the body and cutting the nail and shortening mustache above the lips and removing the hairs of armpit and pubic area before Ihram. 2- A person who intends to go to Hajj leaves the hair of the face and the head from the beginning of Dhu’l-Qa’dah and the person who intends to go to Umrah leaves them one month before, and some of Faqihs considered it as obligatory.

3- Performing Ghusl of Ihram before Ihram in Miqat. This Ghusl is also correct for a woman who is in her menstruation period and has given birth to a child.

Performing it before other acts is permitted especially when there is a fear of nonexistence of water in Miqat and if water was found in Miqat, then it is Mustahab to perform that Ghusl again and after performing this Ghusl if Mukallaf (accountable; a Muslim who has reached the age of puberty) wears clothes or eats things which are Haraam for Muhrim, then performing again is Mustahab and if Mukallaf performs Ghusl in the day, that Ghusl suffices until the end of the next night and if it is performed in the night then it suffices until the end of the next day.

But he/she should perform the Ghusl again if the ablution is invalidated before Ihram and after Ghusl.

5- The two towels of Ihram should be made of cotton. 6- Wearing Ihram in the following way: If it is possible, after the prayer of noon and if it is not, then after another obligatory prayer. If this is not also possible, then wear after performing six or two Rak'ats of Mustahab prayer, reciting Tawhid Sura after Hamd in the first Rak'at and “قل یا ایها الکافرون” after Hamd Sura in the second Rak'at although performing six Rak'ats is better.
