1. Ihram
Ihram begins with making the sincere intention (niyyah) to perform Umrah and entering a state of spiritual purity.
Preparation for Ihram:
Perform Ghusl (full body غسل) to cleanse yourself physically and spiritually
Men wear two unstitched white cloths:
Ridaa (upper garment)
Izaar (lower garment)
Women may wear modest clothing that covers the body and head
Avoid all perfume and scented products
Prayer & Intention:
Perform two Rak’ah of Sunnah prayer
Face the Qibla and make the intention before reaching the Meeqat
Recite:
“Labbayk Allaahumma bi ‘Umrah”
(Here I am, O Allah, for Umrah)
Then continue reciting the Talbiyah:
“Labbayka Allaahumma labbayk, labbayka laa shareeka laka labbayk. Inna al-hamd wa’n-ni‘mata laka wa’l-mulk, laa shareeka lak.”
Continue Talbiyah until you reach the Kaaba for Tawaaf.
2. Tawaaf
Enter Masjid al-Haram with your right foot and recite:
“Bismillaah wa’s-salaatu wa’s-salaam ‘ala Rasool-Allaah…”
Performing Tawaaf:
Begin at the Black Stone (Hajr-e-Aswad)
If possible, touch and kiss it
If not, point towards it and say “Allahu Akbar”
Make 7 counter-clockwise rounds with the Kaaba on your left
Special Sunnah for Men:
Keep the right shoulder uncovered (Idtibaa)
Walk briskly during the first 3 rounds (Raml)
After Tawaaf:
Pray 2 Rak’ah behind Maqaam-e-Ibrahim
Recite:
First Rak’ah: Surah Al-Kafirun
Second Rak’ah: Surah Al-Ikhlaas
3. Sa’i
Proceed to Safa Hill and recite:
“Indeed, Safa and Marwah are among the symbols of Allah” (Qur’an 2:158)
At Safa:
Face the Kaaba
Raise your hands and make personal duas
Recite:
“Laa ilaaha ill-Allah wahdahu laa shareeka lah…”
Walking Route:
Walk from Safa to Marwah
Men should jog between the green markers
Repeat this for 7 total circuits
(One round = Safa to Marwah)
4. Hair Cutting
This marks the completion of Umrah.
Men: Shave the head or trim hair evenly
Women: Cut hair about the length of a fingertip
After this, Ihram restrictions are lifted, and your Umrah is complete.
