10 Amazing Places To Visit In Saudi Arabia

[dknuth]

Saudi Arabia - Final Day

Today is our last day in Jeddah and in Saudi Arabia. I have a 6:20 AM flight tomorrow morning. The ride to the airport leaves at 3 AM.

Today felt a bit like a filler day. We started at a museum in town that has 60, or was it 70, rooms or stuff. It was a version of the house museums on steroids. There was no place to rest your eyes in three floors of exhibits. We were there for an hour and a half!!! In a half hour I was out the door and sitting in the courtyard. It was overwhelming. Even the outside was every design on the old buildings in town.

But the inside... Even the spaces on the walls without exhibits were covered in large panels of text.

Our second stop was the Jeddah Fish Market. It was surprisingly good. The fish looks amazingly fresh and with a large variety and supply. In addition to the fish mongers, there was an area where you could take your fish and have it cleaned and filleted,etc.

Then we to the "Floating Mosque" which isn't floating, it's on piles. Then we stopped at the Jeddah sign along the road. I have no pictures of those.

Then it was a farewell lunch (unfortunately NOT fish.) But while waiting I booked dinner as our favorite Sushi Restaurant for Sunday night.

In Summary

This has been a great trip. My fellow travelers have been knowledgeable and interested in the things we were seeing. Our guides, locals, and others have been enthusiastic and ready to share their experiences and knowledge.

As a result, I've learned a lot about Saudi Arabia's past, present, and possible future.

This is my first AIA tour and it's exactly what I was hoping for; which makes me feel better about the other two I've already booked.

But, I'm also ready to go home to Cathie, and the cats, and even to the cold and the snow.

Are You Allowed to Sleep in Ihram State?

You are permissible to sleep in Ihram state, and there is nothing wrong with it. For example, if you just landed in Jeddah and checked in at your hotel, and you are already in Ihram state, you can sleep and rest before performing Umrah. Whether sleeping in the Ihram state before or during Umrah is permissible but comes with certain rules and restrictions.

In this blog, you’ll get a definitive guide on how you can sleep in Ihram state before and during Umrah, its rules and restrictions, what are some misconceptions, etc. Ihram is a state in which pilgrims wear specific clothes and make the Niyyah of performing Umrah or Hajj.

What are the Rules of Ihram?

During Umrah, pilgrims must follow some rules, which can also be said as they have some restrictions on them when they get into Ihram state. Men need to put on two separate pieces of white fabric called Riba and Izar and should not cover their heads with a cap or turban. Women can wear simple modest clothes that follow Islamic rules and must use a Hijab or headscarf to hide their heads and hair, but they can't hide their faces and hands. 

In Ihram state, pilgrims are not allowed to engage in arguments or fights, can’t cut hair or nails, and are prohibited from using perfumes. Hunting and getting involved in any sexual activity is also not permissible. The Quran states, “Lawful to you is game from the sea… but forbidden is game from the land as long as you are in the state of Ihram” (Quran 5:96).

Can You Sleep While Wearing Ihram?

There are many restrictions on a pilgrim while in Ihram state, but pilgrims are allowed to sleep in Ihram state this brings up a question: Can you sleep in an Ihram dress? You need to keep your Ihram clean and pure, so it's best to take off the Ihram garments and use a blanket or sheet to cover up. Also, remember that you can't wear any sewn clothes so be careful not to put them on.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “There is no harm if one delays Umrah to rest” (Al-Bukhari). This proves how vital self-care is. Also, look for a peaceful area to sleep so you can unwind and prepare for your worship.

Common Misconceptions About Sleeping in Ihram

There are quite a lot of myths and wrong talks about the things related to Ihram. The below clarification is to clear your doubts regarding misconceptions.

One thing Many people say you can’t sleep in this state, but you are permitted to do so, and there is no penalty for sleeping in Ihram state if you follow a few rules and guidelines.

One more is you can’t remove Ihram's clothes, but you can remove them with no restriction, sleep without them, and avoid wearing stitched clothes.

Sleeping is necessary if you have come to Makkah after traveling quite far. Long traveling will burn you out, so the best approach to do Umrah is to rest well and then start Umrah with a fresh and relaxed mindset. Keep in mind to follow the guidelines listed above so you don’t make any mistake in the Ihram state and don’t have to offer a penalty or invalidation of Ihram.

Conclusion

To conclude, yes, it is entirely permissible to sleep in the Ihram state, but make sure you don’t wear anything that is made up of stitched fabric, as it will invalidate your Ihram state. Resting is the best idea to perform Umrah or Hajj with a relaxed and focused mind. This way, you can perform the rituals with ease, comfort, and devotion.
