The state into which the pilgrim enters before the time of Hajj is called Ihram. Ihram is a sacred state that a Muslim enters into before performing the Hajj or Umrah pilgrimage. It involves wearing a simple two-piece white garment and observing certain restrictions, such as refraining from cutting hair or nails, using perfumes, or engaging in any form of sexual activity. Ihram is a physical and spiritual state that symbolizes the purity and equality of all pilgrims before Allah, and it is meant to promote humility, self-discipline, and a sense of devotion to the faith. Once a pilgrim enters the state of Ihram, they are considered to have begun their journey towards fulfilling one of the five pillars of Islam, the Hajj pilgrimage.
