All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger.
There is no blame on the Muhrim, Allaah Willing, for wearing a watch during Ihraam. Wearing it is not included in the prohibitions of Ihraam, as stated by a number of contemporary scholars such as Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen and Shaykh Ibn Baaz . When the latter was asked about the ruling of wearing a watch for the Muhrim, he answered: “Wearing a watch is like wearing a ring, there is nothing wrong with it, Allaah Willing.”
Allaah Knows best.
