The RotaNur Muslin Ihram was made for those who want lightness and breathability on the hot days of Makkah. Made by weaving two layers of cotton gauze together, muslin fabric offers a soft, breathable covering that does not cling to the skin. The set of two identical unstitched pieces stays on you without weighing you down during long walks such as tawaf and sa’i.
About the Product
Muslin is a light, layered cotton fabric familiar from baby textiles. It has a finer feel than the classic towel ihram, yet its double-layer structure keeps it opaque. The fabric’s natural crinkled look needs no ironing, so it can be used straight out of the suitcase. Muslin softens with every wash, does not become as heavy as towelling when wet and dries faster in the shade. These qualities make it a comfortable choice especially for those going on Umrah in the summer months, those who are sensitive to heat and customers who will remain in ihram for a long time. The set consists of two identical pieces worn as the izar and rida, and it is sent in a zipped storage bag to keep it clean. Taking up little space in your suitcase as a spare ihram is a further advantage.

How to Use
- Before first use, wash it once at 30 degrees with unscented soap or detergent.
- Wrap the izar around your waist, fold the top edge inwards and secure it with an ihram belt.
- Drape the rida so that it covers both shoulders; for details on how to wear it during tawaf, follow the instructions of your group leader.
- When it gets wet, hang it to dry in a shaded, airy place.
- Once the ihram is completely dry, fold it and put it in the storage bag.
Use on Your Umrah and Hajj Journey
While in ihram, men do not wear stitched clothing; they wear the ihram, made of two unstitched pieces of cloth, leave their heads uncovered and choose slippers or sandals that leave the top of the foot exposed. Women, on the other hand, enter ihram in their usual modest clothing and do not cover their faces or hands. An ihram belt or a waist bag can be used to hold the ihram in place and to carry items such as money and a phone. Since applying fragrance is prohibited while in ihram, make sure your personal care products are unscented. For more detailed information, see our Umrah Guide and Hajj Guide.
Who Is It For?
Suitable for those going on Umrah in the summer months or during Ramadan, those who find the heat hard to bear, those who want to walk long distances in a light ihram and customers who want to save space in their suitcase. First-time Umrah travellers who want to perform tawaf and sa’i in greater comfort can also happily use the muslin ihram. For those looking for a fuller, denser texture, we recommend our cotton towel ihram models.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a muslin ihram keep you cooler than a towel ihram?
Muslin is a thinner, more breathable fabric, so many users find it airier than towelling in hot weather. A towel ihram, on the other hand, absorbs more moisture and has a denser feel. The choice depends on the season and your personal comfort.
Does a muslin ihram become see-through when wet?
The double-layer weave helps keep it opaque. Still, as with any thin fabric, it is a good precaution to be careful when it is wet or in strong light and, if necessary, to keep a spare set with you.
Do I need to iron it?
No. The natural crinkled look is part of muslin’s character and needs no ironing. Simply fold it and carry it in its bag.
Should I use it with a belt?
As light fabrics can loosen more easily while walking, we recommend securing it with an ihram belt. Our palaska (wide pouch belt) and cloth belt options can be found in this category.
Is it suitable as a spare ihram?
Yes. As it is light and takes up little space, the muslin ihram is also a popular choice as a second set alongside your towel ihram.
