حُرْمٌ The state of إِحْرَام on account of the performance of the حَجّ or the عُمْرَة; as also حِرْمٌ . (K in art. حل. [See 4 in the present art.]) Hence the saying, فَعَلَهُ فِى حُلِّهِ وَحُرْمِهِ, and فِى حِلِّهِ وَ , He did it when he was free from احرام and when he was in the state of احرام. (K in art. حل.) And hence the saying of 'Áïsheh, respecting Mohammad, كُنْتُ أُطَيِّبُهُ لِحُلِّهِ وَحُرْمِهِ, i. e. [I used to perfume him when he was free from احرام and] when he was in the state of احرام: or when he became free from احرام and when he performed the ablution and desired to enter upon the state of احرام for the حَجّ or the عُمْرَة. [حُرْمُكَ in copies of the K, explained as meaning نِسَاؤُكَ وَ مَا تَحْمِى, is a mistranscription for حُرَمُكَ: see حُرْمَةٌ.]
