The Umrah starts with wearing Ihram and making the Niyyah for Umrah at the time of crossing the prescribed Miqat
point.
The Ihram for gents is simple two piece unstitched garment. During the Umrah, a person can change Ihram many
times, but it is mandatory for them to remain in it till the time the Umrah is completed.
The Ihram for women is the full dress that they wear daily. But a particular dress must be separated and classified as
her Ihram.
Anas bin Maalik (RA) said, The pilgrims and those who perform Umrah are the delegation of Allah. He will give them
whatever they ask for, answer their supplications and He will give them better than what they spend. Every Dirham
will be multiplied by a thousand. (Baihaqi)
The Miqat points are different for different countries. Generally, the airlines such as PIA, Saudi Airlines, and Emirates
announce the point of Miqat way before the plane crosses it, so that a person can wear Ihram and do the Niyyat. An
individual is supposed to perform 2 Rakaat Nafil Salah. After performing Salah, one should make the intention for
Umrah. People who are leaving for Umrah are also permitted to wear Ihram and perform Salah before boarding the
plane and they can also make the Niyyat before reaching the point of Miqat.
O Allah, seek beneficial knowledge, wide sustenance and cure from all ailments from You.
After this, move to the hill of Safa, face the Kabaah and make Niyyah for Sai. Sai is the seven trips made between the
hills of Safa and Marwa. One can make the remaining Duas/ supplications that one may have.
After that, start walking and as one passes the green lights men are supposed to increase their pace without running
or sprinting, while women are supposed to maintain their normal pace.
At the hill of Marwa one can step aside and make Dua while facing the Kaabah or one can also continue with the Sai.
From the hill of Safa to Marwa is one trip and from the hill of Marwa to Safa is the second. The seven trips will end at
the hill of Marwa. Once it is done, one should step aside from the crowd and make supplications/ Duas. With this
the Umrah completes. For making the most out of the Umrah, make as much Dua as possible.
After this men go to barbers to have a haircut or to get their head shaved (Taqseer or Halaq). It is suggested to have
Halaq rather than Taqseer. The women are supposed to cut a wrapping of strand of hair around two fingers. It is not
at all permitted to cut the hair at the hill of Marwa, although one might see many women doing that. One should keep
in mind that the masjid is called MASJID AL HARAM. It is impermissible (Haram) for anyone to cut the hair inside the
Masjid while one is in Ihram.
