“Ihram” for Visiting a Grave

Question

Some of those who take part in the ‘urs (an annual festival at a saint’s tomb on his death anniversary) of certain saints go there wearing a special kind of garment, and they call this garment “ihram”. What is the ruling on thinking and saying so?

Answer

This is sheer ignorance or misguidance; repentance from it is obligatory.
