ihram
A state of purity (required during the pilgrimage to Mecca). The white garment worn by men during the pilgrimage.
The garment consists of two unsewn wrappers. One is worn over one shoulder leaving the right arm and shoulder exposed. It is knotted at the right side. The other is wrapped around the loins from the waist to the knees and knotted in the middle. Women wear their habitual garments, but they should be simple without adornment.
