Ihram clothing (
Ahram clothing) includes men's and women's garments worn by
Muslim people during the
Ihram pilgrimage (
Hajj) and or (umrah). The main objective is to avoid attracting attention. Men's garments often consist of two white un-hemmed sheets (usually towelling material) and are universal in appearance. The top (the
riḍā) is draped over the torso and the bottom (the
izār) is secured by a belt; plus a pair of sandals. Women's clothing, however, varies considerably and reflects regional as well as religious influences, but they often don't wear special clothing or cover their faces.
