Makkah (day 5)

Return

The pilgrims encircle the Ka'ba another 7 times. Ihram is over and the rest of the pilgrimage has a holiday feeling.

Pilgrims will buy water from Zamzam and they dip their white ihram cloths in it. Muslims are wrapped in these cloths when they are buried.

The black cloth which covers the Ka'ba is cut up and sold to the pilgrims to keep as souvenirs.

Muslims who have completed the pilgrimage can now be called Hajji or al-Hajj.
