What does IHRAM mean in Scrabble?
noun
In Islam, the simple, seamless white garment worn by male pilgrims during the Hajj or Umrah, and by extension the state of ritual consecration that pilgrims enter for the pilgrimage.
The ihram consists of two plain, unstitched pieces of white cloth for men, one wrapped around the waist and one draped over the shoulder, while women commonly wear simple, modest, everyday dress instead. Putting on the ihram marks the start of a set of restrictions the pilgrim agrees to observe, such as avoiding perfume, cutting hair or nails, and hunting, until the pilgrimage rites are complete. The plain, identical clothing is meant to erase visible differences of wealth and status, so that pilgrims from every background appear equal before God during the Hajj or Umrah.
