Meeqat
« The geographical boundary that a person intending Hajj or Umrah may not cross
without assuming Ihraam for Hajj or Umrah, or both.

450 kilometers from Makkah. Dhu'l-Hulayfah is the Meeqat for those who live

Ihram
• The literal meaning of Ihram is to make haram (forbidden).
• When a person pronounces the Niyyah (intention) of Umrah and
utters Talbiyah, certain halaal (permissible) things become
haram.
• The two sheets that a haji wears are figuratively known as Ihram
but the real Ihram is Niyyah & Talbiyah.
• If someone wears these two sheets and does not declare his
intention and utter Talbiyah, he does not become a Muhrim.
• That is why, before Niyyah and Talbiyah, he can cover his head
during two rakaats of Nafl, an act which is not allowed in the real
state of Ihram.

Ihram for Men
Ihram For Men:-
• Ihram for men consists of two pieces of white,
unsewn cloth
• One of the piece (izar) is wrapped round the
midriff to cover his body from just above his navel
to his ankles, and
• the other (Rida) is draped around his shoulders to
cover the upper body.

necessary for a woman to wear special
clothing while in a state of ihram.
