During Hajj or Umrah, there are prohibitions that must not be violated. This is intended to show how a servant can be obedient to Allah's commands. Ihram is the state in which one has made the intention to perform the Hajj rituals, during which certain prohibitions must be observed. On the other hand, Tahallul is the state in which it becomes permissible to do what was previously forbidden.
