The Meaning of Ihram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Shaykh, what is meant by the word ihram? Does it mean taking a bath, cleaning oneself, and applying perfume?
Answer:
Ihram is the intention to enter into the rites of pilgrimage; this is what ihram is: the intention to enter into the rites, meaning to begin them and start them. As for merely wearing the ihram garments and taking a bath, well, these are not ihram itself; rather, they are its preliminaries, its preparations, and its prerequisites. Yes.
