How should first-timers evaluate ihram clothing online before buying?

From an Umrah and Islamic tradition perspective, first-timers should evaluate ihram clothing online with care and intention, keeping both religious guidelines and comfort in mind:

Simplicity & compliance: Ihram should follow the Sunnah—plain, unstitched, and free from decoration or markings.

Clean, halal fabric: Choose soft, breathable cotton that is not transparent and feels dignified for worship.

Proper coverage: Check measurements so the ihram covers the body well during tawaf, sa’i, and prayer.

Ease in worship: A medium-weight ihram helps maintain modesty and focus without constant adjustment.

Respect for purity: Read reviews to ensure the ihram is comfortable for long hours and easy to keep clean.

Intention over appearance: The purpose of ihram is humility and equality, so avoid luxury-focused or showy options.

Choosing ihram thoughtfully helps maintain khushu (focus) and respect for the sacred journey of Umrah.
