Beginning the rites
Map of the rites;
Ihram
Here you are ready to start the blessed journey. The following are necessary:
Ihram garments
a- The izar (wraparound): It is a garment that is wrapped around the waist and covers the lower part of the body from the navel to below the knees. The best izar is that which is new, white, and does not expose the ‘awrah (those parts of the body which must remain covered) i.e. a large towel.
b- The rida`(mantle): It is a garment that covers the upper part of the body from the shoulders to the navel except the head. The best rida` is likewise that which is new and white i.e. a large towel.
While in ihram, a pilgrim must not wear regular sewn garments such as a vest, socks or jilbab (loose garment) except when forced by

necessity. In such a case it is obligatory to make a fidya (compensation) due to the words of Allah Who says,
And if any of you is ill, or has an ailment in his scalp, (necessitating shaving), (he should) in compensation either fast, or feed the poor or offer sacrifice.
[Al-Baqarah, 196]
c- Footwear consists of anything that does not cover the ankles.
