Ghusl (full ritual bath) before entering ইহরাম is a Sunnah (মুস্তাহাব practice) according to all four schools of jurisprudence, not an obligation. If a হাজী enters ইহরাম without performing গোসল, their ইহরাম is completely valid and no penalty is due. Even menstruating women and those in post-natal bleeding are মুস্তাহাব to perform গোসল before ইহরাম, based on নবী করীম's instruction to Asma bint Umays.
Ghusl before entering ইহরাম is a Sunnah mu'akkadah (emphasized মুস্তাহাব practice) according to the consensus of the four schools of jurisprudence, but it is not an obligation (wajib) or condition (shart) for the validity of ইহরাম. This means that if a হাজী enters ইহরাম without performing গোসল — whether due to lack of water, time constraints, or any other reason — their ইহরাম is completely valid and no penalty (fidyah or dam) is required. Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen explicitly stated that performing অযু alone is sufficient if গোসল is not possible.
The Sunnah basis for গোসল before ইহরাম comes from multiple narrations. নবী করীম (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম) performed গোসল before entering ইহরাম at Dhul-Hulayfah, and he instructed Asma bint Umays, who had just given birth, to perform গোসল and then enter ইহরাম, demonstrating that গোসল before ইহরাম is মুস্তাহাব even for women in a state of post-natal bleeding (nifas). Similarly, নবী করীম instructed Aisha when she began menstruating to perform গোসল and enter ইহরাম for হজ্জ, showing that this গোসল is for cleanliness and the Sunnah of ইহরাম, not for ritual purity.
Scholars note that if water is unavailable, tayammum (dry ablution) does not substitute for the গোসল of ইহরাম, because this গোসল is a Sunnah for cleanliness rather than a required act of purification. The হাজী should simply enter ইহরাম without it. Ibn Baz confirmed that the ইহরাম is valid with or without the গোসল, and the হাজী loses only the extra reward of following this particular Sunnah.

Scholars from different schools of Islamic jurisprudence offer varying perspectives on this matter.
Ghusl before ইহরাম is a Sunnah. If not performed, ইহরাম is valid without any penalty. The গোসল is for general cleanliness, not ritual purity, and therefore is মুস্তাহাব even for menstruating women.
Al-Hidayah by al-Marghinani: 'Ghusl is Sunnah for ইহরাম, and it is for cleanliness, so even the menstruating woman performs it.'
Ghusl before ইহরাম is a confirmed Sunnah (Sunnah mu'akkadah). Some Maliki scholars considered it mandub (মুস্তাহাব). There is no penalty for omitting it, but it is strongly encouraged.
Al-Mudawwanah: Imam Malik held গোসল before ইহরাম to be from the confirmed Sunnahs of হজ্জ.
Ghusl before ইহরাম is a Sunnah. It is মুস্তাহাব for all people entering ইহরাম, including menstruating women, post-natal bleeding women, and children. If water is not available, tayammum does not replace it.
Al-Majmu' by al-Nawawi: 'The গোসল for ইহরাম is a Sunnah by consensus. It is for cleanliness, not ritual purity, hence tayammum does not replace it.'
Ghusl before ইহরাম is a Sunnah. The Hanbali school emphasizes that this গোসল is মুস্তাহাব for everyone, including menstruating women, based on নবী করীম's instruction to Asma bint Umays.
Al-Mughni by Ibn Qudamah: 'Ghusl for ইহরাম is Sunnah, and leaving it does not affect the validity of ইহরাম.'
