This is a sub-article of Hajj and Islamic hygienical jurisprudence.
Ihram (Arabic: إِحْرَام, romanized: iḥrām, from the Semitic root root Ḥ-R-M) is, in Islam, a sacred state which a Muslim must enter in order to perform the major pilgrimage (Ḥajj) or the minor pilgrimage (ʿUmrah). A pilgrim must enter into this state before crossing the pilgrimage boundary, known as Mīqāt, by performing the cleansing rituals and wearing the prescribed Ihram clothing.
