Summary
The sewn blanket may be used as long as the pilgrim has not yet reached Qarn al-Manazil, including while still at KLIA. After entering ihram and passing Qarn al-Manazil, the blanket may only cover up to the neck. A woman's face and a man's head must not be covered, as this falls under the prohibitions of ihram.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
boleh menggunakan selimut itu selagi belum sampai di Qarnul Manazil.
