Ihram is the sacred state a pilgrim enters before performing Hajj or Umrah. It involves making the intention for pilgrimage and following specific rules and restrictions.

 No, men are not allowed to wear stitched garments that fit the shape of the body while in Ihram.

Women may wear socks during Ihram. Men should avoid footwear that covers the ankles and the top of the feet.

Women should not wear a face veil that touches the face during Ihram, but they may lower a cloth over their face when non-mahram men are present.
