Remaining rules in relation to tying an Imamah

٭ It is appropriate to wrap the first fold of the ‘Imamah towards the right side of the head. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 22, pp. 199)

٭ The Shimlah [i.e. unwrapped end] of the blessed ‘Imamah of the Beloved Rasool    صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَـلَيْهِ وَاٰلِـهٖ وَسَـلَّم would generally hang behind (his blessed back), sometimes it would be on the right hand side, and sometimes there would be two Shimlahs between his two blessed shoulders. To hang the Shimlah on the left hand side is against the Sunnah. (Ashi’a-tul-Lam’aat, vol. 3, pp. 582)

٭ The length of the Shimlah of the ‘Imamah should be equal to at least four fingers in width, and up to the middle of the back at most, i.e. approximately the length of one arm. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 22, pp. 182)

٭ Tie the ‘Imamah whilst standing facing the Qiblah. (Kashf-ul-Iltibas, pp. 38)

٭ The Sunnah of ‘Imamah is that it should not be shorter than 2½ yards in length, nor should it be longer than 6 yards, and

٭ it should be tied in a dome-like shape. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 22, pp. 186)

٭ If you have a large kerchief with which you can make enough folds to cover the whole head, it will be considered as an ‘Imamah.

٭ It is Makruh to tie a small kerchief with which one can only make one or two folds. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 7, pp. 299)
