Sayyidah Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that we (while in the state of Ihram) used to cover our faces from non-mahram men and used to comb our hair beforehand.

And the evidence that it is permissible for a woman in ihram to cover her face without wearing a niqab or letting the cloth touch her face is that the khimar with which she covers her face, rather she lets the cloth hang down from the top of her head over her face, or she covers her face with her hand or with her sleeve or with part of her clothing, keeping her hand away from her face.

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that when we were in the state of Ihram with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), if a caravan passed by us, we would let our sheets hang over our faces. In the narration of Jarir (may Allah have mercy on him), it is mentioned that when they would pass by, and in the narration of Hushaym, it is mentioned that when they would pass by us, we would uncover our faces.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, spent the night at the place of Dhi Tuwa (on the occasion of Hajj) until morning came, and then he entered Makkah Mukarramah.

Because the goodness and virtue that is in following you cannot be attained by anyone who abandons your leadership.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to enter (Makkah Mukarramah) from the upper pass and exit from the lower pass.

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that he began reciting the Talbiyah near the tree at Dhul-Hulaifah. And when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) reached the place of Dhi Tuwa, he spent the night there until he performed the morning prayer, then he performed ghusl (ritual bath), then he entered Makkah Mukarramah from its upper side, from Kada’. And when he left Makkah Mukarramah, he exited from its lower side, from Kada’.

It is narrated from Nafi‘ that when Sayyiduna Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) reached Dhu’l-Hulayfah, he would order for the saddle to be placed on his mount, so the saddle would be placed. Then he would perform the morning prayer, then mount (his ride). When his mount became straight with him, he would face the qiblah, make the intention, and begin reciting the talbiyah. When he entered the boundaries of the Haram, he would stop reciting the talbiyah. When he reached the place of Dhi Tuwa, he spent the night there. Then he performed the morning prayer and then took a bath. Sayyiduna Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) believed that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had done likewise.

Ubaid bin Haneen narrates that I performed about twelve Hajj and Umrah with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with them). I said to him, "O Abu Abdur Rahman, I have noted four special things from you." Then he narrated the complete hadith and stated: I have seen that when you enter into Ihram and recite the Talbiyah, you stop reciting the Talbiyah upon reaching the populated area of Makkah Mukarramah. He replied, "O Ibn Haneen, you have spoken the truth. I set out with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) (for Hajj), and when he entered the populated area of Makkah Mukarramah, he stopped reciting the Talbiyah. Therefore, I will continue to recite the Talbiyah in this manner for the rest of my life." Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says: My position was that a person performing Umrah will continue to recite the Talbiyah until he starts Tawaf and touches or kisses the Black Stone, because in the narration of Ibn Abi Layla from Ata from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them), it is mentioned that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) would stop reciting the Talbiyah in Umrah after touching the Black Stone.

The Imam has mentioned the chain of narration for the above-mentioned report. Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that when I pondered over the narration of Ubaid bin Hunaīn, I found in it the evidence that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) would stop saying the Talbiyah as soon as he entered the populated area of Makkah Mukarramah. The narration of Ubaid bin Hunaīn is stronger in terms of chain of narration than the narration of Imam Ata, because Ibn Abi Layla is not a memorizer of hadith, although he is a proficient jurist and scholar of religion. Therefore, my position now is that whether the Muhrim comes for Hajj or for Umrah, he will stop saying the Talbiyah as soon as he enters the populated area of Makkah Mukarramah. And if he has come only for Umrah, he will not recite the Talbiyah again. And if he is performing Hajj Mufrad or Hajj Qiran, then after performing the Sa’i of Safa and Marwah, he will start reciting the Talbiyah again. Because the action of Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) is evidence that he saw the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) stop saying the Talbiyah during his Hajj until the Sa’i of Safa and Marwah. Imam Ata bin Abi Rabah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) would stop saying the Talbiyah after entering the boundaries of the Haram, and after performing the Sa’i of Safa and Marwah, he would start reciting the Talbiyah again.
