2022 Clothing Guide for Women Heading for Umrah – 22nd December 2021
After a very long and very turbulent year, Umrah has reopened, so Muslims all around the world are making the necessary preparations to begin traveling to Makkah.
A major part of these preparations is, of course, making sure to have the appropriate clothing to enter the state of the Ihram.
You might be worried and confused about what kind of clothes you can wear during Umrah, and let’s be truthful, many of us were during our first time performing Umrah or Hajj. Pilgrimage is an honor, and you naturally want to make sure you get every detail right, which can be daunting!
But don’t worry, you’re in the right place to clear your confusion.
What Should You Wear For Umrah?
To make things easy, scholars recommend clothing we typically think of when we think of Muslim women performing Umrah, which means products like Abayas, jilbabs, hijabs, khimars, and whatnot. And yes, even full-length, full-cover maxi dresses (as long as all conditions are met)!
There aren’t any specific color recommendations, although most women choose to wear black. And of course, opposing what you might believe, you don’t have to wear either black or white.
We already know that it can’t be see-through, which means that the fabric needs to be thick enough not to let light through but still be suitable for Saudi Arabia’s harsh sun.
We recommend opting for Abayas or Jilbabs made of lightweight, breathable fabrics that you can layer on top of other clothing without the risk of overheating.
