Intermediate Worship & Dhikr Surah: Al-Baqarah (197)

The two verses: "Complete the Hajj and Umrah for Allah. But if you are prevented, then whatever sacrificial animal is available." (2:196) "Hajj is during well-known months. Whoever undertakes it — no sexual relations, no wickedness, and no quarreling during Hajj." (2:197)

Prohibitions of ihram from the verse:

1. Rafath (sexual relations): Intercourse and anything leading to it — the most severe prohibition (invalidates Hajj).
2. Fusuq (wickedness): All sins — already forbidden, but their gravity intensifies during ihram.
3. Jidal (quarreling): Disputes and conflicts — because Hajj is a time of devotion and turning toward Allah.

Additional prohibitions (from sunnah):

• Covering the head for men — removing body hair — trimming nails — sewn garments for men — perfume — killing game — contracting marriage.

Al-Isar (being prevented): "If you are prevented" — if the person in ihram is blocked from completing the rites by an enemy or illness — he exits ihram by sacrificing wherever he is.
