Ihraam for Tawaaf-e-Ziyaarah in Hajj

Q: Is it compulsory for one to put on ihraam (i.e. to wear the ihraam towels) for Tawaaf-e-Ziyaarah in hajj, or can one make Tawaaf-e-Ziyaarah in one’s sewn clothes?

A: If one has shaved one’s head and slaughtered one’s hadi animal (Damm-e-Shukr), then it is permissible for one to wear sewn clothing and perform the Tawaaf-e-Ziyaarah in his sewn clothing.

However, if one is still in one’s ihraam clothing, then performing the Tawaaf-e-Ziyaarah in the ihraam clothing is also permissible. 

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
