Simplicity and Surrender on the Sacred Journey: What You Need to Know About Women's Ihram
Share
Hajj and Umrah are two of the most important acts of worship for Muslims. On this sacred journey, pilgrims show their submission to Allah by purifying themselves from worldly blessings. An important part of this sacred journey is ihram.
So, how do women wear their ihram?
What is Ihram?
Ihram means making some permissible things haram in order to perform the pilgrimage and umrah worship. For men, it consists of two pieces of cloth (izar and rida), while for women, they can wear their daily clothes.
Except for the following issues regarding ihram, women are just like men.
1. They can wear all kinds of stitched clothes, gloves, socks and socks. They may cover their heads, but keep their faces uncovered.
2. They do not raise their voices during talbiyah.
3. They do not perform ramel during tawaf and do not perform herwal during sa'y.
4. They do not have their heads shaved from the root, but they shorten them.
5. If there is a crowd, they invade the Hacer-i Esved without kissing it. They avoid the crowd of men. They do not pray near the Maqam of Ibrahim during times of congestion.
6. If the person abandons the farewell circumambulation or postpones the visitation circumambulation due to menstruation or postpartum, they do not have to sacrifice. (Lubab Commentary p.78)
