How do you perform the Umrah?

The Umrah has four steps: (1) entering ihram with the intention and the Talbiyah, (2) tawaf: seven circuits around the Kaaba, (3) sa’i: seven times between Safa and Marwa, (4) halq or taqsir: shaving or trimming the hair.

How long does an Umrah take?

Usually three to four hours. Tawaf and sa’i each take about two hours, depending on the crowds, your pace and the breaks you take.

What is the difference between Umrah and Hajj?

The Umrah can be performed all year round and has four steps. The Hajj is tied to fixed days in the month of Dhul-Hijjah, lasts several days and includes extra rites such as Arafat, Muzdalifah and Mina.

How many circuits do you walk in the tawaf?

Seven circuits anticlockwise, with the Kaaba on your left. You begin and end at the Black Stone (Hajar al-Aswad).

What do you wear during ihram?

Men wear two unstitched white cloths (izaar and ridaa) with the head uncovered. Women wear ordinary modest clothing; a face veil and gloves are not permitted during ihram. Perfume is forbidden for both.

Is Umrah during Ramadan special?

Yes. According to a narration from the Prophet ﷺ, an Umrah in Ramadan equals the reward of a Hajj.
