Ihram refers to being in a state of purity when performing Hajj or\nUmrah in the Holy Land of Makkah (Saudi Arabia). The visible sign is the\nattire worn by pilgrims upon entering the Haram area. The specific\nlocations for donning ihram, known as miqat makani, were established\nduring the time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).<\/p>\n
The ihram attire itself is unremarkable. For male pilgrims, it\nconsists of two white cloth pieces: one covering from the waist to the\nankles (izar), and another for the upper body.<\/p>\n
Al-Ghazali, known as Hujjatul Islam Abu Hamid Muhammad bin Muhammad\nbin Muhammad al-Ghazali ath-Thusi, explained in Ihya Ulum ad-Din that\nwhite is a colour favoured by Allah.<\/p>\n
Although simple, performing ihram is better accompanied by certain\nacts. Before entering ihram, pilgrims are advised to take a bath with\nthe intention of wearing ihram once they reach the miqat makani.<\/p>\n
While cleansing, pilgrims should tidy facial hair, trim nails, and\ngroom hair. After bathing, they may don the ihram garments, which must\nnot be stitched.<\/p>\n
During ihram, pilgrims must not wear perfume or scents. However,\nresidual scent on the body is permissible. A hadith narrates that before\nentering ihram, traces of musk remained in the Prophet Muhammad\u2019s (PBUH)\nhair, and he did not remove it (Bukhari and Muslim, from Aisha).<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/hajj-ihram-etiquette-1780163056", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
