Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Guide To Hajj Rites The Mandatory Steps of the Ihrram The mandatory steps of the ihraam are: Wearing the two garments of ihraam The intention, or niyyah. The talbiyah. 1. Wearing the two garments of the ihraam After removing the clothing that is not permitted to wear, the two pieces of garments for ihraam must be worn.

One of the garments is worn round the waist to cover the body from navel level to the knees, and the other should be used for covering the shoulders at least. As a precaution, it is required that a woman wears the two pieces of garments of ihraam on top of her clothing, and performs the talbiyah, even though it is permissible for her to remove the two garments afterwards.

It is conditional, as an obligatory precaution, that the garment worn around the waist is not thin, revealing the skin, and so too for the garment covering the shoulders.

It is also conditional for the ihraam garments: • to be of such material that is valid for the daily obligatory prayers for men, • not to be nagis with which one may not be able to perform the daily prayers, • not to be made from products of an animal the meat of which is not permissible for (Muslim) consumption, • not to be usurped, nor any gold is allowed to be used in it, • not to be made from silk even for women, • as a precaution, not to be made from leather, even if taken from animals whose meat is permissible to eat, • as a precaution, to be woven or textile such as towels, and not matted or compressed.

If one or both of the ihraam garments were made nagis, then as a precaution the muhrim – the individual in the state of ihraam must either replace the nagis garment or wash it to make taahir immediately. If he does not do that he has sinned but his ihraam is valid. However, if part of the body became nagis, it is not incumbent on him to make it taahir immediately, even though may be is as a precaution.

If there was a wound on the body of the muhrim and there was blood on the dressing / plaster, and it was not possible for him to remove the dressing when time was short, the rulings of Jabirah applies to him. [you will find the details in this respect in risalah of Islamic laws.] It is not mandatory for the muhrim to continually wear the ihraam garments; for the muhrim may change them or take them off completely, like when going to the bathroom or having a shower. This applies to both genders.
