according to the stronger of the two scholarly opinions. (1)(2)
As for picking out lice (3) when they are not actually causing harm, this is counted as a form of luxury; he should avoid it. Even so, if he does it no penalty is due. (4)
It is forbidden for the pilgrim in ihram to have sexual relations or anything that leads to them. He must not engage in intercourse with anyone—whether a woman or anyone else. (5)
Likewise, he may not take pleasure in a kiss, in touching with the hand, or in a lustful gaze.
If he does have intercourse, his Hajj is invalidated; concerning ejaculation without intercourse (6) the jurists differ. (7)
No other prohibited act during ihram renders the pilgrimage invalid except this category.
If he kisses with desire, or emits pre-seminal fluid because of desire, he must offer a blood-sacrifice.
(1) The words placed between square brackets are omitted in manuscripts A and B.
(2) According to the Hanafi and Maliki schools, a fidya (expiatory offering) is required. The authoritative view among the Shafi‘i and Hanbali schools is that killing an animal whose flesh is already forbidden to eat is not itself prohibited while in ihram and carries no fidya. See: al-Tajrid by al-Quduri 4/2114; As-hal al-Madarik 1/488; al-Majmuʿ 7/333; al-Insaf 3/485.
(3) Manuscript B reads: “al-qatl” (killing).
(4) Manuscript D reads: “fa-law” ("yet if").
(5) Manuscripts C and D read: “sawa’an kana” ("whether it was").
(6) Manuscripts C and D read: “al-jimaʿ” (sexual intercourse).
(7) The Hanafi, Shafi‘i, and Hanbali schools hold that his pilgrimage is not invalidated, whereas the Maliki school and one narration from Ahmad deem it invalid. See: al-Bahr al-Raiq.
