Q
What is the significance of the state of Ihram in relation to accepting gifts?
A
An onager was presented to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) at the place called Al-Abwa’ or Waddan, but Allah’s
Apostle rejected it. When the Prophet (ﷺ) noticed the signs of sorrow on the giver’s face he said, “We
have not rejected your gift, but we are in the state of Ihram.” (i.e. if we were not in a state of Ihram we
would have accepted your gift, Fath-ul-Bari page 130, Vol. 6)
