Fiqh (Islamic law and literature based on the teachings of the holy Quran and the traditions of Prophet Muhammad) describes in detail carrying out the rites of Umrah, and pilgrims generally follow handbooks and expert guides to successfully fulfill the requirements of Umrah.
Every pilgrim has to be clear about their intent (niyyah) whether for Umrah or Hajj before they start their journey.
Ihram is a sacred state in which every pilgrim must enter before crossing the pilgrimage boundary, known as Mīqāt, both physically and spiritually.
Talbiyah is the unique prayer said while on the journey towards Makkah, in supplication to attain Ihram. It is the conviction that pilgrims intend to perform Umrah only for Allah. By repeating it over and over, they get themselves ready for the spiritual journey and further from non-spiritual concerns. Each pilgrim has to repeat the supplication: “لَبَّيْكَ ٱللَّٰهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ، لَبَّيْكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ لَبَّيْكَ، إِنَّ ٱلْحَمْدَ وَٱلنِّعْمَةَ لَكَ وَٱلْمُلْكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ” “Here I am O Allah, here I am. Here I am. You have no partners (other gods). To You alone is all praise and all excellence, and to You is all sovereignty. There is no partner to You.”
Upon entering the holy mosque in Makkah, every person should perform Tawaf. This is the act of circling around the Kaaba counterclockwise seven times. Tawaf begins and ends from the sacred black stone located in front of the Kaaba. During Tawaf, pilgrims will repeat any Dhikr (phrases of prayers) that they wish to say. While crossing the black stone it is a Sunnah (a traditional practice of the Prophet (PBUH)) to repeat this Dua’a (prayer). "ربنا آتنا في الدنيا حسنة وفي الآخرة حسنة وقنا عذاب النار" "Rabina Atina Fid-Dunya Hasanatan Wa Fil Akhirati Hasanatan Waqina Adhaban-Nar” When facing the black stone, pilgrims will raise their right hand and repeat “Allahu Akbar” - God is the Greatest.
Sa’i is the ritual of walking back and forth between two hills known as Safa and Marwa seven times. "إن الصفا والمروة من شعائر الله فمن حج البيت أو اعتمر فلا جناح عليه أن يطّوّف بهما ومن تطوع خيرًا فإن الله شاكر عليم" [البقرة 158] {Al Safa and Al Marwa are among the symbols of Allah. It is not a sin on whoever performs Hajj or Umrah in the house of Allah to perform Tawaf between them. And whoever does good all is knowing and is appreciative} [Surah Al-Baqarah 158]
Every pilgrim performing Umrah must either cut their hair or shave it completely (for women, it’s typically cutting just a single lock of hair) to signify rebirth and purity after their spiritual journey. This act signals the exit of the pilgrim's Ihram and marks the completion of the Umrah process.
Ihram: Enter the sacred state with specific clothing and intention.
Tawaf: Perform seven rounds of circumambulation around the Kaaba.
Sa'i: Walk seven times between Safa and Marwah.
Tahallul: Shave or trim hair to complete Umrah.
Various dua and supplications can be recited during Tawaf. Personal prayers are also encouraged.
During Umrah, specific actions and behaviors should be avoided. These include cutting hair or nails, using scents, hunting, engaging in intimate relations, arguing or using foul language, and other behaviors prohibited while in the state of Ihram, the sacred state of pilgrimage.
During Umrah, you can ask Allah for forgiveness, guidance, and blessings for yourself, your loved ones, and the entire Ummah. You may also seek his mercy, acceptance of your Umrah, and fulfillment of your righteous desires.
Wudu (ablution) is not obligatory for performing Umrah, but it is highly recommended to be in a state of wudu while engaging in Tawaf (circumambulation around the Kaaba) and performing prayers during the pilgrimage.
