Idtiba(اِضْطِبَاع) Idtiba is the السنة act of uncovering the right shoulder during certain الطوافs by tucking the Rida under the right armpit and draping its ends over the left shoulder. It is practiced by male الحجاج.
اِضْطِبَاع
Idtiba involves adjusting the Rida (upper الإحرام garment) so that the middle portion passes under the right armpit, leaving the right shoulder bare, while both ends are thrown over the left shoulder. This practice is performed throughout all seven circuits of الطواف al-Qudum (arrival الطواف) and the الطواف of العمرة — unlike الرَّمَل which is only for the first three circuits. After completing the الطواف and before praying the two ركعةs behind مقام إبراهيم, the الحاج should restore the Rida to cover both shoulders, as praying with the right shoulder exposed is not from the السنة. Idtiba is specific to men; women do not uncover their shoulders. Like الرَّمَل, it originated as a display of physical readiness and strength, and was أُسس as a continuing السنة by النبي's practice during his Farewell Pilgrimage.
