Complete Method of Performing Umrah in the Light of the Quran and Hadith

Compiled by: Muhammad Azeem Hasalpuri (Hafizahullah)

Virtues of Umrah:​

Allah Almighty commands:

وَأَتِمُّوا الْحَجَّ وَالْعُمْرَةَ لِلَّـهِ

“And complete the Hajj and Umrah for Allah.” [Al-Baqarah: 2:196]

Umrah as Expiation for Sins:​

The Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) described the reward of Umrah:

الْعُمْرَةُ إِلَى الْعُمْرَةِ كَفَّارَةٌ لِمَا بَيْنَهُمَا، وَالْحَجُّ الْمَبْرُورُ لَيْسَ لَهُ جَزَاءٌ إِلَّا الْجَنَّةُ

“One Umrah to the next serves as an expiation for the sins committed in between, and an accepted Hajj has no reward except Paradise.” [Sahih Bukhari, Book of Hajj 1773; Muslim 3289]

Umrah Removes Poverty and Sins:​

Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrated that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:

تَابِعُوا بَيْنَ الْحَجِّ وَالْعُمْرَةِ فَإِنَّهُمَا يَنْفِيَانِ الْفَقْرَ وَالذُّنُوبَ كَمَا يَنْفِي الْكِيرُ خَبَثَ الْحَدِيدِ وَالذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ

“Perform Hajj and Umrah consecutively, for they remove poverty and sins just as the bellows remove impurities from iron, gold, and silver.” [Sunan Tirmidhi, Book of Hajj: 810, graded Hasan Sahih by Shaykh Al-Albani]

Umrah in Ramadan is Equivalent to Hajj:​

The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:

إِنَّ عُمْرَةً فِي رَمَضَانَ تَقْضِي حَجَّةً، أَوْ حَجَّةً مَعِي

“Performing Umrah during Ramadan is equal to (in reward) performing Hajj with me.” [Sahih Bukhari 1863]

Conditions for Performing Umrah:​

Umrah is not obligatory according to most scholars but is recommended. However, once a person enters the state of Ihram for Umrah, completing it becomes obligatory, similar to Hajj. The necessary prerequisites for Umrah are:

1. The person must be a Muslim.
2. Must be of sound mind.
3. Must have reached puberty.
4. The route should be safe.
5. The person should have the means (provisions, transport) and be able to cover the expenses for their family during the duration of Hajj and Umrah.
6. A woman must be accompanied by a mahram or her husband.

Conditions for Acceptance:​

1. The person should have faith (be a monotheist, free from shirk).
2. Sincerity in intention (intending to seek Allah’s pleasure).
3. The practice should be according to the Sunnah.
4. Sustenance should be lawful (Allah accepts only that which is pure).
5. A woman should be accompanied by a mahram and should not travel during her waiting period (iddah).

Essential Elements​

1. Entering the state of Ihram from the designated Miqat.
2. Performing Tawaf (circumambulation of the Kaaba).
3. Kissing the Hajar al-Aswad (Black Stone), if possible.
4. Praying two raka’at at the Maqam Ibrahim.
5. Drinking Zamzam water.
6. Performing Sa’i between Safa and Marwah.
7. Shaving or trimming the hair.

Brief Procedure of Umrah:​

There is no specific time or month for Umrah; it can be performed at any time, with or without Hajj.

Step-by-Step Method of Performing Umrah:​

1. Entering Ihram:
   Enter Ihram at the Miqat and proceed to the Kaaba for Tawaf. Ihram can also be put on at home or the airport, but the intention should be made at Miqat. During the first Tawaf, keep the right shoulder exposed (Idtiba). Cover the shoulder after completing the Tawaf. Start the Tawaf by kissing or touching the Hajar al-Aswad (if possible) or by gesturing towards it (Istilam).
   • Perform seven circuits around the Kaaba, starting and ending at the Hajar al-Aswad. Touch the Rukn Yamani if possible but do not kiss it. Recite the prescribed supplications, especially between Rukn Yamani and Hajar al-Aswad. Walk briskly in the first three circuits and walk normally in the remaining four.
   • After Tawaf, cover the shoulder and pray two raka’at at the Maqam Ibrahim, reciting Surah Al-Kafirun in the first and Surah Al-Ikhlas in the second. Drink Zamzam water afterward.
2. Performing Sa’i:
   • Perform Sa’i between Safa and Marwah, beginning at Safa and ending at Marwah. Each trip from Safa to Marwah counts as one circuit, and the return counts as another. Complete seven circuits, ending at Marwah.
   • Maintain modest attire during Sa’i and keep the shoulder covered throughout.
3. Shaving or Trimming Hair:
   • Men should either shave their heads or trim their hair. Women should cut a small portion of their hair themselves. This concludes the Ihram, and the Umrah is complete.

Detailed Procedure:​

When leaving the house, recite this supplication:

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ، لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ

“In the name of Allah, I place my trust in Allah. There is no power and no strength except with Allah.”
(Abu Dawood, Book of Etiquette 5095, authenticated by Al-Albani)

Travel and​

• Before entering Ihram, take a shower (ghusl) following the Sunnah [Sahih Tirmidhi: 830].
• Apply oil and comb the hair [Sahih Bukhari 209].
• Men can use perfume before entering Ihram, but women should avoid it [Sahih Bukhari 208].
• Women, even in a state of menstruation or postnatal bleeding, should perform ghusl before entering Ihram.

Restrictions During​

1. Men cannot wear stitched clothing like shirts, trousers, or caps, and must keep their ankles exposed [Sahih Bukhari, Book of Hajj 209].
2. Perfume should not be applied after Ihram [Sahih Bukhari, Book of Hajj 209].
3. Wearing gloves is prohibited [Sahih Bukhari, Book of Hajj 209].
4. Marriage proposals or contracts are not allowed [Sahih Muslim, Book of Hajj 453].
5. Engaging in disputes or intimate conversations with one’s spouse is prohibited, as mentioned in Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 197.
6. Hunting or cutting trees and grass in the sacred boundaries is forbidden, except for Izkhir grass [Sahih Bukhari, Book of Hajj 247].

Supplication for Boarding a Plane:​

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ مَجْرَاهَا وَمُرْسَاهَا ۚ إِنَّ رَبِّي لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

“In the name of Allah is its course and its anchorage. Indeed, my Lord is Forgiving and Merciful.” [Hud: 11:41]
By following these steps, you can perform Umrah in a manner that aligns with the teachings of the Quran and the Sunnah.

Miqat (Designated Places for Entering Ihram)​

For those coming for Hajj or Umrah, the Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) designated five Miqats (points where Ihram must be entered):

➊ Dhul-Hulaifa (Abyar Ali):
This is the Miqat for the people of Madinah and those coming through that route to Makkah. It is approximately 9 kilometers from Madinah and is the furthest Miqat from Makkah. The area is also known as “B’ir Ali” and the location as “Wadi Al-Aqiq.”

➋ Rabegh:
This Miqat serves the people of the Levant (Syria), Egypt, and the western regions.

➌ Qarn Al-Manazil:
This is the Miqat for the people of Najd and those who pass through that route.

➍ Yalamlam (Sa’diyyah):
This Miqat is a mountain in the region of Tihamah, about 54 kilometers from Makkah, making it the closest Miqat to Makkah. It serves those coming from Pakistan, India, China, Yemen, and others passing by or parallel to this location.

➎ Dhat Irq:
This Miqat is for those coming from Iraq, Iran, and the northeastern regions via Baghdad.

Note: Those who visit Madinah first should enter Ihram from Dhul-Hulaifa when traveling to Makkah. Those heading directly to Makkah should enter Ihram at Yalamlam. It is important for pilgrims to be aware of their Miqat while on a flight to ensure that they enter Ihram at the appropriate time.

Sunnah Talbiyah​

About half an hour before reaching Jeddah, when the Miqat is announced, one should make the intention for Umrah and recite:

اللهم لبيك لعمرة

“O Allah, I am here to perform Umrah.”
Continue reciting the Talbiyah until reaching the Kaaba:

لبيك اللهم لبيك، لبيك لا شريك لك لبيك، إن الحمد والنعمة لك والملك، لا شريك لك

“Here I am, O Allah, here I am. Here I am, You have no partner, here I am. Indeed, all praise and blessings are Yours, and sovereignty belongs to You. You have no partner.”

[Sahih Bukhari, Book of Hajj: 1549]

Prayers During Travel​

While traveling, recite "Allahu Akbar" (Allah is the Greatest) when ascending and "Subhanallah" (Glory be to Allah) when descending.

Arrival in Jeddah​

After reaching Jeddah, or upon arriving at the place of residence or hotel, recite the following supplication:

أعوذ بكلمات الله التامات من شر ما خلق

“I seek refuge in the complete words of Allah from the evil of what He has created.”
[Muslim, Book of Remembrance: 2708]

Note:
It is Sunnah to perform ghusl (ritual purification) before entering Makkah if possible. [Sahih Bukhari, 1553]

Entering Masjid Al-Haram (The Sacred Mosque)​

There is no specific supplication for entering Masjid Al-Haram. Use the same supplication for entering any mosque:

اللهم افتح لي أبواب رحمتك

“O Allah, open the doors of Your mercy for me.”

[Muslim, Book of Travellers’ Prayers: 713]

Acceptance of Prayers During Hajj and Umrah​

It is commonly believed that the first sight of the Kaaba guarantees the acceptance of any prayer, but this belief is not specifically validated. Instead, every prayer made in the sacred precincts of Allah’s House (Baitullah) is accepted. The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:

الغازي في سبيل الله والحاج والمعتمر وفد الله دعاهم فأجابهم وسألهم فأعطاهم

“The one striving in Allah’s path, the pilgrim, and the one performing Umrah are Allah’s guests. He called them, and they responded, and they asked of Him, and He granted them.”

[Sahih al-Targheeb wal-Tarheeb 1108; Ibn Majah 2893, Hasan]

Sunnah Method of Tawaf (Circumambulation)​

Allah Almighty commands:

وَلْيَطَّوَّفُوا بِالْبَيْتِ الْعَتِيقِ

“And perform Tawaf around the Ancient House (the Kaaba).”

[Al-Hajj: 22:29]

The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:

“Whoever performs Tawaf around the Kaaba and prays two rak'ahs, it is as if he has freed a slave.”

[Ibn Majah: 2956, Sahih]

During the first Tawaf, keep the right shoulder exposed (Idtiba). Cover the shoulder after completing the Tawaf. Start each circuit by kissing or touching the Hajar al-Aswad (Black Stone), or gesture towards it if unable. All methods carry equal reward. Complete seven circuits, beginning and ending at the Black Stone. It is forbidden to push or jostle to kiss the Black Stone.

Supplication at the Black Stone in Each Circuit:

بسم الله الله أكبر

“In the name of Allah, Allah is the Greatest.”

[Musnad Ahmad: 2/14]

The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:

“The Black Stone is a stone from Paradise; it was originally white, but the sins of the people have turned it black. Whoever kisses it will find it a witness for their faith on the Day of Judgment.”

[Ibn Majah: 2944, Sahih]

During the first three circuits, walk briskly (Raml), while the remaining four circuits should be completed at a normal pace. Women do not perform Raml.

Rukn Yamani​

The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:

“Touching the Rukn Yamani and the Black Stone wipes away sins.”

[Tirmidhi: 959; Nasai: 2919, Sahih]

If possible, touch the Rukn Yamani during each circuit, but do not kiss it. If the area is crowded, do not gesture or kiss the hand. Recite the following supplication between the Rukn Yamani and the Black Stone:

رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ

“Our Lord, grant us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.”
[Abu Dawood, Book of Hajj: 1876, 1892]

After Completing Tawaf: Prayer at Maqam Ibrahim​

After completing Tawaf, go to Maqam Ibrahim and recite:

وَاتَّخِذُوا مِن مَّقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى

“And take the Maqam of Ibrahim as a place of prayer.” [Al-Baqarah: 2:125]
Pray two rak’ahs. If space is limited near the Maqam, pray anywhere in Masjid Al-Haram. Remember, there is no prohibition against praying in the Haram at any time. [Tirmidhi: 94/2]

Recite Surah Al-Kafirun after Surah Al-Fatiha in the first rak’ah, and Surah Al-Ikhlas in the second.

Drinking Zamzam Water​

After offering the two rak’ahs, drink plenty of Zamzam water and pour some over the head. [Musnad Ahmad: 12/72] You can drink Zamzam from any of the water coolers in the Haram.

There is no specific supplication for drinking Zamzam, but the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:

“The purpose for which Zamzam is drunk will be fulfilled.”

[Sahih Ibn Majah: 3062]

Second Istilam of the Black Stone:​

Before beginning the Sa’i (ritual walk) between Safa and Marwah, perform another Istilam of the Black Stone. [Muslim, Book of Hajj: 1218]

By following these guidelines, you can perform your Umrah according to the teachings of the Quran and Hadith, ensuring it is in line with the Sunnah of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم).

Sa'i Between Safa and Marwah​

Performing Sa’i between Safa and Marwah involves completing seven rounds, which is an essential part of Umrah. The Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:

كتب عليكم السعي فاسعوا

“Sa’i has been prescribed for you, so perform Sa’i.” [Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah: 2765]

Starting from Safa​

While ascending Safa, recite:

إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِن شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ، أَبْدَأُ بِمَا بَدَأَ اللَّهُ بِهِ

“Indeed, Safa and Marwah are among the symbols of Allah. I begin with what Allah began with.” [Muslim, Book of Hajj: 1218]
Then, face the Kaaba, raise both hands, and say "Allahu Akbar" three times, followed by this supplication:

لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد، وهو على كل شيء قدير، لا إله إلا الله وحده، أنجز وعده، ونصر عبده، وهزم الأحزاب وحده

“There is no deity but Allah alone, with no partner. His is the dominion, and to Him belongs all praise, and He has power over all things. There is no deity but Allah alone. He fulfilled His promise, supported His servant, and defeated the allied forces alone.” [Muslim, Book of Hajj: 1208]

Note:
While standing on Safa, continue making further supplications with raised hands.

Proceeding from Safa to Marwah​

As you move from Safa to Marwah, walk along the right path. Men should lightly jog between the two green markers, while women are not required to do so.

Supplication During Sa’i​

While descending from Safa and proceeding toward Marwah, recite:

رب اغفر وارحم إنك أنت الأعز الأكرم

“O my Lord, forgive and have mercy. Indeed, You are the Most Honorable and Most Generous.” [Ibn Abi Shaybah 15562]

Note:
During Sa’i, engage in the remembrance of Allah, supplications, and prayers, as the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:

“Sa’i between Safa and Marwah has been established to remember Allah.” [Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah: 2738]

Reaching Marwah​

Upon reaching Marwah, recite the same supplications as you did at Safa, then return to Safa and continue in this manner.

Key Points About Sa'i​

➊ Each trip from Safa to Marwah is one round, and each trip from Marwah to Safa is another round. The seventh round ends at Marwah.
➋ Performing Wudu (ablution) is not mandatory for Sa’i, but it is better to be in a state of Wudu.
➌ Sa’i can be performed using a wheelchair or other means of transport if necessary, similar to Tawaf.
➍ There is no harm if there is a delay between Tawaf and Sa’i due to a valid reason.
➎ In case of doubt regarding the number of rounds, base your count on certainty (the lesser number).
➏ Keep the shoulder covered during Sa’i.
➐ Elderly, sick, or weak individuals are not required to jog between the green markers. [Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah: 2770]

Shaving or Trimming Hair​

After completing the seventh round at Marwah, men should either shave or trim their hair. Shaving is more virtuous. Women should cut a small portion of their hair themselves, as shaving is not permissible for them. [Sahih Bukhari 1727; Abu Dawood 1985]

This concludes the Umrah.

Supplication When Exiting Masjid Al-Haram​

When leaving Masjid Al-Haram, recite:

اللهم إني أسألك من فضلك

“O Allah, I ask You for Your bounty.” [Sahih Muslim 713]

Returning to Normal Attire​

After returning to your hotel or residence, remove your Ihram and change into regular clothing. Continue performing all the five daily prayers in congregation in the Haram, perform as many Tawaf as possible, engage in remembrance of Allah, and pray for yourself, your family, and your friends for both worldly and Hereafter matters.

Visiting Sacred Sites in Makkah​

Besides performing prayers, you can spend time visiting sacred sites around Makkah:

➊ Visit various mosques in Makkah.
➋ Explore the plains of Arafat, Muzdalifah, and Mina.
➌ Visit Jabal Al-Rahmah and the Jamarat (where the symbolic stoning is done during Hajj).

Traveling to Madinah​

After spending a few days in Makkah, proceed to Madinah to visit the sacred sites there, including Masjid Al-Nabawi.

Supplication Upon Entering Masjid Al-Nabawi​

When entering Masjid Al-Nabawi, step in with your right foot first and recite:

بسم الله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله، اللهم افتح لي أبواب رحمتك

“In the name of Allah and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah. O Allah, open for me the doors of Your mercy.” [Ibn Majah: 771; Muslim: 713]

Supplication Upon Leaving Masjid Al-Nabawi​

When leaving Masjid Al-Nabawi, step out with your left foot first and recite:

بسم الله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله، اللهم إني أسألك من فضلك

“In the name of Allah and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah. O Allah, I ask You for Your bounty.” [Sahih Abu Dawood: 440]

Virtues of Praying in Masjid Al-Nabawi​

The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:

“Do not undertake a journey except to three mosques: the Sacred Mosque (Kaaba), the Mosque of Al-Aqsa (in Jerusalem), and my mosque.” [Sahih Bukhari 1179]

➊ One prayer in the Kaaba is better than 100,000 prayers in any other mosque. [Sunan Ibn Majah 1406]
➋ One prayer in Masjid Al-Nabawi is rewarded a thousand times more. [Sahih Bukhari: 1109]
➌ One prayer in Al-Aqsa Mosque is equivalent to 500 prayers. [Irwa Al-Ghalil 1130, Hasan]

The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) also said:

ما بين بيتي ومنبري روضة من رياض الجنة

“The area between my house and my pulpit is a garden from the gardens of Paradise.” [Sahih Bukhari 1195]

Reciting Salat upon Visiting the Prophet’s Grave​

Recite the Abrahamic prayer:

اللهم صل على محمد وعلى آل محمد كما صليت على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم إنك حميد مجيد، اللهم بارك على محمد وعلى آل محمد كما باركت على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم إنك حميد مجيد

“O Allah, send prayers upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent prayers upon Ibrahim and upon the family of Ibrahim. Verily, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. O Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as You blessed Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim. Verily, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious.” [Sahih Bukhari, Book of Prophets 3370; Muslim 402]
And recite this supplication:

السلام عليك أيها النبي ورحمة الله وبركاته

“Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you.” [Sahih Bukhari: Book of Adhan: 831; Muslim: 402]

Visiting Jannat Al-Baqi (Graveyard in Madinah)​

When visiting Jannat Al-Baqi, recite:

السلام عليكم أهل الديار من المؤمنين والمسلمين، وإنا إن شاء الله بكم لاحقون، أسأل الله لنا ولكم العافية

“Peace be upon you, O inhabitants of the dwellings, believers and Muslims. Indeed, we are, Allah willing, to follow you. I ask Allah for well-being for us and for you.” [Muslim, Book of Funerals: 97]
And also recite:

اللهم اغفر لأهل البقيع الغرقد

“O Allah, forgive the inhabitants of Al-Baqi’ Al-Gharqad.” [Muslim, Book of Funerals: 974]
By following these steps, your Umrah and visits to the sacred places will be performed in accordance with the Sunnah and the teachings of the Quran and Hadith.

Visiting Sacred Sites​

When in Madinah, it is recommended to visit the various sacred sites, including:

• Masjid Quba:
  Praying two rak'ahs in Masjid Quba holds the reward equivalent to performing an Umrah. [Nasai: 700]

Returning to Makkah​

Upon returning from Madinah to Makkah, the vehicle usually stops at Dhul-Hulaifa, which is about six to seven miles from Madinah. This location is the Miqat, also known as “Bir Ali.” Here, perform ghusl (ritual washing) and ablution, wear the Ihram, and recite the Talbiyah as you head to Makkah to perform Umrah.

Farewell Tawaf​

The last act related to Hajj and Umrah is the Tawaf Al-Wada', which symbolizes your farewell visit to the House of Allah (Baitullah). It is required for those performing Hajj and Umrah. [Sahih Bukhari: 236]

• No need to wear Ihram for this Tawaf, and there is no requirement for Raml (brisk walking) or Idtiba (exposing the right shoulder).
• There is also no need to perform Sa’i between Safa and Marwah with this Tawaf.

Recommended Supplications​

Pilgrims should engage in supplications during every part of their journey—whether in Tawaf, Sa’i, after prayers, or while at Mina, Muzdalifah, or Arafat. Here are some of the recommended supplications:

➊ رَبَّنَا آتِنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً وَهَيِّئْ لَنَا مِنْ أَمْرِنَا رَشَدًا

“O Allah, I hope for Your mercy, so do not leave me in charge of my affairs even for a blink of an eye, and rectify all my affairs. There is no deity except You.” [Abu Dawood: 5090; Musnad Ahmad: 5/42]

Shaykh Al-Albani and Abdul Qadir Al-Arnaut have authenticated this supplication.

By incorporating these recommended supplications and following the guidance during your journey, you can ensure a spiritual and rewarding experience during Hajj or Umrah, staying connected with the remembrance of Allah throughout the pilgrimage.
