	==Obligations of Ihram==		==Obligations of Ihram==
	===Intention===		===Intention===
	The ~~conditions~~ of intention ~~are as follows:~~		{{main\|intention}}
	* Intention of performing hajj or 'umra~~. Therefore, a person who wants to wear ihram for 'umra al-tamattu',~~ should ~~have intention to perform the rituals while wearing ihram~~.		The condition of intention is that one should specify whether he wants to perform hajj or 'umra and should also specify their type. The second condition is that one should have pure intention of obeying the orders of Allah Almighty.
	* He should have pure intention of obeying the orders of Allah Almighty ~~because 'umra and hajj and all the rites are acts of worship. So, one should perform them with intention of seeking proximity to Allah Almighty.~~
	* He who wants to wear ihram should make intention to perform 'umra or hajj and if hajj is to be performed, he states its type whether it's [[hajj al-tamattu']], [[al-ifrad]], [[al-qiran]], [[hajj on behalf]], [[hajjat al-Islam]], hajj of nadhr or recommended hajj.

	While making the intention, it is not necessary for a person to have a detailed picture of the rites and deeds of hajj or 'umra in his mind; but it is enough to know them in general and perform them step by step. For a person who wears ihram, it is not necessary for him to make the intention to stop committing the prohibited acts. Moreover, the intention of committing some forbidden acts does not make ihram invalid. That said, unless he has intention of committing some acts which invalidate 'umra or hajj; like intercourse, (in some cases which will be mentioned). Because intention of these deeds does not conform to intention of performing hajj, rather intending doing these deeds contradicts the intention of ihram.

	If someone intends hajj instead of 'umra due to negligence or ignorance, his ihram is valid. For instance, while wearing ihram for 'umra al-tamattu', if he says: I am going to wear ihram for the sake of Allah for hajj al-tamattu' but he has intention to perform the deed that is being performed by others thinking they are classified as hajj, his ihram is valid. Uttering one's intention or imagining the intention in one's mind is not necessary. Rather, if he intends to perform rites, it would suffice. Intention must be accompanied by wearing ihram. So a previous intention will be sufficient only if it continues until the time of wearing ihram.		If someone intends hajj instead of 'umra due to negligence or ignorance, his ihram is valid.
