Does wearing the garment of Ihraam to check its size and suitability make one in the state of Ihraam and he cannot end it unless he carries out the rituals? If yes, should he end his Ihraam after ‘Umrah or Hajj?
Fatwa
All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
is His slave and Messenger.Assuming Ihraam, according to the Muslim jurists 
is the intention to carry out the rituals, and it has no connection with wearing the lower and upper garments which form the garment of Ihraam. Also, these garments are not exclusive to Ihraam. In other words, whoever assumes Ihraam and does not wear the garment of Ihraam, his Ihraam will be correct but he will be required to take off his form-fitting clothes immediately. The Muslim who puts on the garment of Ihraam will not be considered in the state of Ihraam unless he intends to carry out the rituals. There is no difference between scholars on this. Allah Knows best.
