What is Ihram for Men and Women in Hajj & Umrah?
Ihram is a specific state that every male and female pilgrim must have to enter by assuming a special dress code for performing Hajj and Umrah. Every pilgrim must have to assume ihram at one of the miqat points provided in their Umrah packages . Ihram is different for both male and female pilgrims. It is described clearly in details below. Ihram for Men Men pilgrims wear two white unstitched sheets to cover their body in the state of ihram. One sheet is used to cover the lower part of the body and the second sheet is used to cover the upper part of the body. The lower sheet is called “Izar’ and the upper sheet is called ‘Rida’. Pilgrimage shows unity among the Muslims from all over the world. There is no difference of race, wealth, colour, etc. in front of Allah Almighty. Everyone is equal in front of Allah Almighty. Equality is shown during the pilgrim in Makkah. Ihram for Women Women don’t need to cover their body in the way as men do. They can assume ihram
