Shade is what you need most during the days of Hajj. As you walk from Mina to the Jamarat, move between the tents at Arafat or wait for the coach, the sun beats down directly on your head and shoulders. With its white outer surface and silver UV-coated inner surface, the RotaNur UV-Protective Hajj Umbrella gives you portable shade. It is one of the most practical ways for men in ihram to protect themselves from the sun without covering their heads.
About the Product
The umbrella’s outer fabric is white to reflect sunlight; the silver coating on the inner surface forms an extra layer against UV rays. The automatic mechanism opens and closes at the press of a single button, so you can use the umbrella with one hand in the crowd. Its flexible ribs bend easily in the wind and spring back into shape; when folded, it fits in its cover in the side pocket of a backpack.

How to Use
- Before opening the umbrella, make sure there is enough space around you.
- Press the button on the handle to open it; to close it, press the button again and push the shaft down to lock it.
- Tilt the umbrella slightly towards the sun so that the shade falls on your head and shoulders.
- Keep it closed when walking in crowds and in places of worship.
- If it gets wet, let it dry open before putting it back in its cover.
Use on Your Umrah and Hajj Journey
An Umrah or Hajj journey means long walks to and around the Masjid al-Haram and the Prophet’s Mosque (Masjid an-Nabawi), dense crowds and, more often than not, a hot climate. When everything you take with you is light, practical and durable, it is easier to stay focused on your worship. Since applying fragrance is prohibited while in ihram, remember to choose unscented personal care products. For a complete packing list, have a look at our Umrah Guide and Hajj Guide.
Who Is It For?
Suitable for everyone going on Hajj or on Umrah in the summer, especially those who are sensitive to the sun, older travellers and those who will walk long distances. To complement your shade with cooling products, have a look at our Rechargeable Handheld Fan with Water Mist — USB-C, 3 Speeds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a man in ihram use an umbrella?
According to Diyanet (Türkiye’s Presidency of Religious Affairs), using an umbrella while in ihram does not require an expiation. A hand-held umbrella that does not touch the head is the most suitable option in this respect.
Can it be used in the rain?
Yes. The fabric repels water; after using it in the rain, simply let it dry open.
How is it different from a head umbrella?
It is not worn on the head, does not touch the head and offers a wider area of shade.
Can I take it in my hand luggage on the plane?
When folded, it fits in a bag. As cabin rules may vary from airline to airline, check with your airline before your flight.
