Does sleep break Ihram?

Published in Ihram and Sleep 1 min read

No, sleep does not break Ihram. You can rest or sleep while in a state of Ihram.

However, it's important to remember that you cannot remove your Ihram garments and put on normal clothes while sleeping. You can cover your face with your Ihram cloth while sleeping.

This means you can sleep in your Ihram clothes, and it won't affect your Ihram state.

Example: If you arrive in Makkah late at night and are tired from your journey, you can enter Ihram and then go to sleep in your Ihram clothes.

Practical Insight: While sleep does not break Ihram, it's recommended to take a short break to freshen up before performing your Umrah. This will allow you to perform the rituals with a clear mind and body.
