Ihraam literally means to declare something unlawful upon
oneself.
Hajj and Umrah Guide by Mufti Faraz
Ihraam is commonly referred to the clothing worn by a person
performing Umrah or Hajj.
However, Ihraam in the context of Shari’ah refers to entering
into a state of adhering to the prohibitions of even normally
permitted things, with the intention of performing Hajj and/or
Umrah. The wearing of the white clothing symbolises this state,
although this state is not entered into by wearing the sheets of
white alone.
