What Should One Do Before Adopting Ehraam?

One should, prior to putting on Ehraam, take bath washing oneself well. If cannot then perform Wudu/ Wuzuu وضو(ablution). Anoint the hair with fragrant oil and comb them. If possible, get the head shaved off thereby relieving oneself of taking care of the hair. Pare the finger-nails, get the beard trimmed as per the Shari'ahشریعۃ , and remove the hair of armpits and pubes. Applying perfume to oneself is Sunnat. Divest oneself of sewn cloths and put on two new or washed and clean sheets of cloth preferrably white. One covering the upper half of the body and the other covering the lower half.
Reaching Meeqaat offer two Rak'at prayer with the intention of Ehraam reciting "Surah Al-Kaaferoon" in the first Rak'at after “Surah Al-Faateha سورۃ الفاطحۃ” and “Surah Al-Ikhlaas سورۃ اخلاص” in the second Rak'at and after completing the prayer form Niyat of Hajj or 'Umrah as the case may be and then say loudly “Talbiyah تلبیۃ” i.e. “Labbaiek لبیک”. This is Ehraam that brings the pilgrim under sanctions.
