Ihram is a specific dress code that every Umrah pilgrims need to assume to perform Umrah. One can’t perform Umrah without being in the state of ihram. Ihram dress code for men and women is not the same. Women wear their casual cloth in ihram.
If you go in Easter you will find a great number of Muslims that took advantage of Easter holidays to perform Umrah. Most Muslim men and women perform Umrah by Easter Umrah packages. Some of the following tips are advised to Muslim women during Umrah performance:
Women should consider the colour of their dress that they are selecting for the state of ihram. Most of the Muslims perform Umrah in the day time. The white coloured clothes may reveal your body parts due to sweat. Muslim women should wear black coloured clothes during Umrah performance.
To suffer from the hot climate of Saudi Arabia women should not wear pure fabric instead they should opt to mix fabric for Umrah performance.
In the state of ihram, women should not make a contrast of colours. Such as wearing black over white or wearing white over black. Such clothing will reveal your body part that is not recommended at all in Umrah.
Black is a heat absorbent colour. If you don’t want to wear black you can wear any other light colour in your ihram clothing. Colour is not fixed but shining colour like red, purple etc. are discouraged.
Always use cotton mix stuff clothes. Keep in mind that your clothes are breath capable. You can’t cover your face in Masjid-al-Haram. You can wear a scarf over your abaya.
If you are not used to abaya you can use under scarf caps that will help you in maintaining the position of your hijab. It is beneficial for ladies who wear hijab for the first time.
Selecting the right pair of shoes is as much important as selecting the right dress code for ihram. You shouldn’t wear flip flops for your Umrah performance as you may get slipped due to rush while performing tawaf. Any uncomfortable shoes can be very problematic for you and make you tired after your Umrah performance.
Crocs or sneakers without laces are a good choice for hajj and Umrah performance. They also cover the feet of women that is a significant part of ihram.
Backpacks are a good thing to manage your handy stuff easily. Women should wear their backpacks at the front side so that they can have easy access to their usual things. It will also keep the things save from pickpockets during Umrah.
Hope all of these tips will help you in performing Umrah. Female Umrah pilgrims are advised not to make a tawaf very closer to men group. It is not encouraged, Islam. All you have next to do for your Umrah performance is to find an Umrah travel agency.
