How do I perform umrah step by step?
To perform umrah you enter ihram at the miqat with the intention and talbiyah, make seven rounds of tawaf, pray behind the Maqam, walk sa'y seven times between Safa and Marwah, then cut your hair to leave ihram.
- Ihram at the miqatWash, put on the ihram garments, make the intention for umrah and begin the talbiyah. From this point the restrictions of ihram apply, and the guide lists them.
- TawafSeven rounds of the Kaaba beginning and ending at the Black Stone corner. Use the counter so you are not keeping the number in your head in a crowd.
- Two rak'ahs and ZamzamPray two rak'ahs behind the Maqam of Ibrahim where possible, then drink Zamzam.
- Sa'ySeven times between Safa and Marwah, starting at Safa and ending at Marwah. The counter marks each length and the dua for each is shown.
- Cut your hairCutting or shaving the hair completes the umrah and ends ihram. The guide states what is required for men and for women.
