Can one marry while in ihram for hajj or umrah?
No. A marriage contract while one of the parties (husband, wife or wali) is in ihram is invalid according to the Shafi'i school.
The Prophet ﷺ said: "A person in ihram may not marry, may not give in marriage and may not propose." The akad must be postponed until tahallul is completed. If the wali is in ihram, the right of guardianship does not pass to a more distant wali; instead a wali hakim may conduct the marriage or the akad is postponed. See Mahram.

Difference between schools. The Hanafi school holds that a contract made in ihram is valid, though not encouraged.
