What is forbidden for a pilgrim in the state of ihram is wearing tailored garments, meaning clothes that are cut to fit the body, such as trousers, shirts, and the like, not merely garments that contain thread. The wisdom behind this lies in achieving humility and submission to Allah, remembering the Hereafter, in addition to symbolizing unity and equality among Muslims, and fostering the awareness of the state of ihram, which encourages the pilgrim to frequently engage in supplication and remembrance and to abstain from forbidden acts.
