Ihram is a state of ritual purity that is assumed by Muslims during the Hajj and Umrah, the two Islamic pilgrimages to Mecca. It is a state of consecration in which the person is forbidden from certain activities, such as cutting their hair or nails.
It is typically worn as two white sheets that are wrapped around the body. The wearing of the Ihram is a symbol of the spiritual equality of all Muslims, and it is intended to promote humility and devotion.
