التعريف
The state of ritual sanctity entered from the mīqāt with the intention and talbiyah, restricting certain ordinarily permissible acts (perfume, hunting, marital relations, cutting hair, etc.) until the rites are completed.
النطق: iḥ-RĀM
الاشتقاق والجذر
From the same root as ḥarām — to make something off-limits. The pilgrim makes off-limits to himself things ordinarily allowed.
التطبيق العملي
Learn the restrictions of iḥrām and the expiations for breaches before travelling — most violations have a defined fidyah (ransom).
