Eid al-Fitr brings the month of Ramadan to a peaceful close. People wear neat, often light-colored outfits for the morning prayer, before having breakfast with their families. Here’s a guide on what to wear and the traditions of this festive morning.
Umrah can be performed all year round and is increasingly experienced as a journey. The attire for the ritual remains the ihram, two white sheets, but the stay also requires practical clothing.
Planning your pilgrimage also means choosing the right outfits for each stage. Djellaba for the trip, ihram at the Miqat, gandoura for the days of Hajj, and a three-piece jabador for Medina.
Friday prayer, known as Jummah, is the highlight of the week. It brings the faithful together at the mosque for a dars, followed by a two-unit prayer that replaces the Dhohr.
