'''Secrets of the Prohibitions of Ihram'''refers to the wisdom, rationale, and purposes underlying abstention from the [[Prohibitions of Ihram]], which are specific acts that a person in the state of [[Ihram]] must not perform during [[Hajj]] and [[Umrah|Umrah]], lest their Ihram be invalidated. There are 25 prohibitions of Ihram, some of which are common to both men and women, while others are specific to men or women. | |||

In a hadith, the reason for the legislation of Ihram is stated to be the entry of [[Hajj|pilgrims]] into the [[Meccan Sanctuary]].<ref>''Al-Mahasin'', vol. 2, p. 330; ''Man La Yahduruhu al-Faqih'', vol. 2, p. 195.</ref> | ||

==== | ==== Detachment from Material Pleasures and Self-Centeredness==== | ||
Detachment from everything other than God is considered another goal of Hajj. In this path, abstaining from sexual pleasures is also emphasized, as lusts are animalistic desires and are incompatible with the heavenly acts of Hajj, especially since the pilgrim has committed at the beginning of Ihram to offer themselves, like [[Ishmael (prophet)|Ishmael]], to the Beloved and not be occupied with anything other than God.<ref name=":0">''Darsnameh-ye Pishdaramadi bar Farhangnameh-ye Asrar va Ma'aref-e Hajj'', p. 141.</ref> | |||
In addition, | In addition, certain actions involving the body such as [[nail clipping]], [[hair removal]], [[bloodletting|drawing blood from the body]], and [[tooth extraction]] are considered forbidden during the state of Ihram so that the human being distances themselves from excessive attention to their own body and and prevents excessive preoccupation with the body from distracting the pilgrim from more essential matters.<ref>''Darsnameh-ye Pishdaramadi bar Farhangnameh-ye Asrar va Ma'aref-e Hajj'', p. 142.</ref> | ||
Also, any form of makeup and [[adornment]] for women and [[wearing stitched clothing|stitched clothing for men]] is forbidden during Hajj.

The prohibition of these matters is considered to signify the necessity of purification from worldly adornments and achieving spiritual refinement, which is observed by the [[Hajj pilgrim]] with the goal of abandoning self-centeredness and vanity.<ref>''Darsnameh-ye Pishdaramadi bar Farhangnameh-ye Asrar va Ma'aref-e Hajj'', p. 145.</ref> | ||
==== | ==== Avoidance of Comfort-Seeking ==== | ||
Men's avoidance of [[covering the head]], [[covering the feet|the top of the feet]], and [[Istizlal|staying under shade]], and women's avoidance of [[covering the face]] are considered to signify surrender and submission to God, which leads to the avoidance of arrogance and privilege-seeking. In a statement by [[Imam Ali (AS)]], the existence of such hardships in Hajj is described as providing the grounds for human perfection.<ref>''Darsnameh-ye Pishdaramadi bar Farhangnameh-ye Asrar va Ma'aref-e Hajj'', p. 143.</ref> | Men's avoidance of [[covering the head]], [[covering the feet|the top of the feet]], and [[Istizlal|staying under shade]], and women's avoidance of [[covering the face]] are considered to signify surrender and submission to God, which leads to the avoidance of arrogance and privilege-seeking.
