Ihram

What is Ihram?

Ihram is the sacred state in which they carry out the required rituals to complete Hajj or Umrah. However, they also have to wear unique clothing that is designed to perform Umrah or Hajj.  

Toperform Umrah or Hajj, a Muslim men must wear Ihram. Without Ihram, one's Umrah or Hajj cannot be prefmormed.

Men's Ihram differs from women's, and white men's Ihram is two sheets of white cloths that leave some parts of his body naked, woman's Ihram is the dress that completely conceals her, leaving her face and hands revealed.

Al-Bukhari states that Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) said: "one shouldn't pass the Miqat unless he/she is in the state of Ihram." (Al-Bukhari)

Ihram and its history in Islam

The hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam and all able-bodied Muslims are required to perform it once in their lifetime.

While following a route the Prophet Muhammad once - walked, the rites of hajj are believed to ultimately trace the footsteps of the prophets Ibrahim and, Ismail.

To perform Umrah or hajj every man and woman has to enter ihram. without ihram, one's can't be performed Umrah or hajj.

How men’s wear  Ihram clothing

  1. The bottom half, the Izar, is wrapped around the waist covering the area between the navel and feet
  2. The top half, the Ridaa, covers the left shoulder at all times
  3. Don't wear underwear, socks or any other clothes, and don't cover your head
  4. Wear footwear that reveals the ankles and toe

One should avoid the acts that are prohibited for a person who is in the state of ihram such as aa wearing. Attar (perfume), wearing makeup, wearing socks, etc. 

The thickness of Ihram will absorb high amounts of sweat from the body hence providing comfort to anyone on Hajj/Umrah. The Ihram package for men consists of two pieces of white sheet/towel.
