Wearing Ihram Cloths
Wearing Ihram cloths is the first day for Hajj or Umrah, this means
the intention in getting into the reclusion in its time, for Umrah at
any time during the whole year, and for Hajj during Hajj months:
Shawal, Zul Qaedah, and the first ten days of Zul Hijjah. The ba-
sic elements of Hajj or Umrah start by wearing Ihram cloths from
the specified starting point. If those who intend to perform Hajj or
Umrah arrive at the specified starting point by land, it is preferred
that they have to wash themselves (Ghosul), and to apply some
perfume if that is possible, otherwise no problem for him if he does
not wash himself. Then he has to wear the two pieces of Ihram
white and neat cloths.
And the woman has no legally prescribed cloths for Ihram, so she
has to wear what covers completely the parts of her body with
cloths of any color without showing any adornment or cosmetics.
