Jilbabs for Hajj

Posted October 31st, 2009.

As the pilgrimage season is approaching, a large variety of Jilbabs have become available for Hajj purposes. They are available in light shades such as cream, green, beige and brown, as well as the typical black ones. The Jilbabs to be worn for hajj are simple, plain and free of heavy embellishments, as people opt for comfort not style. As the Saudi government has mandated these robes for all Muslim women during the pilgrimage, so even nationalities where it is not the customary dress, need to purchase them for Hajj. Many travel agents in different countries are offering them as a part of the tour package to provide convenience for their customers.
