The example of clinging to the curtains of the Kaaba is like that of a man who has committed an offense against another man. He clings to his garment and humbles himself before him, hoping that he will pardon his transgression. The pilgrim is free from having sins recorded against him for four months from the day he shaves his head because Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Mighty and Majestic, granted the polytheists four sacred months, as He says: 'So travel freely throughout the land for four months' (Surah At-Tawbah, 9:2). Therefore, Allah سبحانه وتعالى granted the believers who perform Hajj to His House a remission from the recording of sins for four months.
