0:00 / 0:00

Pillar 1: Ihram & Niyyah from the Miqat

الإحرام والنية من الميقات

Arkan (Pillar)

لَبَّيْكَ اللَّهُمَّ عُمْرَةً

"Labbayk Allahumma 'Umrah" — Here I am, O Allah, for an Umrah.

Pre-Ihram Preparation: Clip nails, trim unwanted hair, perform Ghusl (ritual bath), apply perfume to the body only (not on the Ihram garments).
Garments: Men put on the 2 white seamless unstitched sheets (Izar and Rida). Women wear modest, breathable abayas with hijab (no face veil/niqab or gloves).
Crossing Miqat: Formulate the intention (Niyyah) in the heart and utter the verbal formula before or at the Miqat line (Dhul Hulayfah, Al-Juhfah, etc.).
Recite Talbiyah continuously: Raise voices (for men) with the Talbiyah until seeing the Ka'bah.

⚠️ Common Mistake: Flying into Jeddah and waiting until landing to enter Ihram. If flying, you must wear your Ihram garments before boarding or change mid-flight, making Niyyah 30 minutes before crossing the airborne Miqat boundary.

Pillar 2: Tawaf al-Qudum (7 Circuits)

طواف القدوم بالبيت الحرام

Arkan (Pillar)

رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ

"Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanah wa fil-akhirati hasanah wa qina 'adhaban-nar" — Recited between the Yemeni Corner and the Black Stone.

State of Wudu: Full purity (Wudu) is required for Tawaf according to the majority of scholars.
Idtiba' (Men only): Uncover the right shoulder by passing the upper sheet (Rida) under the right armpit and over the left shoulder throughout all 7 circuits of Tawaf.
Starting Point: Align with the Black Stone (marked with green lights on the Masjid wall). Point your right hand towards it and say: "Bismillahi Allahu Akbar".
Ramal (Men only): Walk briskly with short, energetic steps in the first 3 circuits. Walk normally in the remaining 4 circuits.
Yemeni Corner (Rukn al-Yamani): Touch it with your right hand without kissing if accessible; do not point or say Takbeer if crowded.

⚠️ Common Mistake: Pushing others to kiss the Black Stone, raising both hands like in Salah, or continuing Idtiba' (uncovered right shoulder) during the subsequent 2 Rak'ahs prayer.

Pillar 3: 2 Rak'ahs Behind Maqam Ibrahim & Zamzam

صلاة ركعتي الطواف والشرب من زمزم

Wajib / Sunnah Mu'akkadah

وَاتَّخِذُوا مِن مَّقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى

"Wattakhidhu min maqami Ibrahima musalla" (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:125) — Recited when proceeding to Maqam Ibrahim.

Cover Both Shoulders: Men must reposition the upper Ihram sheet to cover both shoulders before praying.
Prayer Location: Pray 2 short Rak'ahs behind Maqam Ibrahim if space permits; otherwise anywhere within Masjid al-Haram.
Recitation: Recite Surah Al-Kafirun in the 1st Rak'ah and Surah Al-Ikhlas in the 2nd Rak'ah after Al-Fatihah.
Drink Zamzam Water: Drink your fill standing while facing the Qiblah, making heartfelt Dua (Zamzam is for whatever purpose it is drunk). Pour a little over your head.

Pillar 4: Sa'i between Safa and Marwah (7 Laps)

السعي بين الصفا والمروة ٧ أشواط

Arkan (Pillar)

إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِن شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ ۖ فَمَنْ حَجَّ الْبَيْتَ أَوِ اعْتَمَرَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَن يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا

"Innas-Safa wal-Marwata min sha'a'irillah..." (2:158) — Recited only once upon approaching Mount Safa.

Ascend Safa: Face the Ka'bah, praise Allah, make Takbeer 3 times and make long personal Duas.
Lap Progression:
• Lap 1: Safa ➔ Marwah | Lap 2: Marwah ➔ Safa
• Lap 3: Safa ➔ Marwah | Lap 4: Marwah ➔ Safa
• Lap 5: Safa ➔ Marwah | Lap 6: Marwah ➔ Safa
• Lap 7: Safa ➔ Marwah (concludes at Marwah).
Green Marker Lights (Men only): Jog or run lightly between the two sets of green neon lights commemorating the devotion of Hajar (alayhas-salam). Women walk normally.

Step 5: Tahallul (Exiting Ihram) — Shaving (Halq) vs. Trimming (Taqsir)

التحلل من الإحرام بالحلق أو التقصير

Wajib (Obligatory)

To officially conclude your Umrah and exit the state of Ihram, every pilgrim must perform either Halq (الحلق - Complete Head Shaving) or Taqsir (التقصير - Hair Trimming & Shortening). Until this is completed, all 9 Ihram prohibitions remain in force!

✂️ Detailed Fiqh of Taqsir (التقصير) & Halq (الحلق)

Understanding the rules ensures your pilgrimage is fully valid without inadvertent penal sacrifices (Damm).

👨 For Brothers (Men)

Option A: Halq (Complete Shave) — Most Virtuous:
• The Prophet ﷺ prayed three times for those who shave their heads: "O Allah, have mercy upon those who shave" (Sahih al-Bukhari). It carries 3× the spiritual reward.

Option B: Taqsir (Hair Trimming) — Fully Valid:
• The "One-Fourth & Single Fingertip" Fiqh Rule: In the Hanafi Madhhab, the minimum legal requirement is clipping at least one-fourth of the head (ربع الرأس) by the length of a single fingertip (Qadr Anmulah / approx. 1 inch or 2–2.5 cm).
• The Sunnah Practice: Trimming evenly from all over the entire head (or using a clipper guard) is the Sunnah and unanimously approved across all four Madhabs (Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanbali).
• Critical Warning: Cutting just 2 or 3 hairs from the front hairline fails the one-fourth requirement and is INVALID, leaving you in Ihram! If hair is already shorter than a fingertip, you must shave (Halq).
• When is Taqsir preferred? In Hajj Tamattu' shortly before the days of Hajj (leaving hair to shave on Eid), or for pilgrims with medical scalp sensitivities.

🧕 For Sisters (Women)

Taqsir is Mandatory (Halq is Forbidden):
• Women are strictly prohibited from shaving their heads (Halq is Haram for women). The Prophet ﷺ said: "Shaving is not upon women; upon women is only clipping (Taqsir)." (Sunan Abi Dawud 1985).

Step-by-Step Procedure for Women:
• 1. Gather all hair together into a neat ponytail or braid at the nape of the neck.
• 2. Hold the end of the ponytail with your fingers.
• 3. Cut off the length of a single fingertip (Unmulah / approx. 1 inch or 2–2.5 cm) from the tips. This satisfies the one-fourth minimum across the entire hair bundle unanimously.
• 4. Privacy Etiquette: Sisters must cut their hair in privacy (inside their hotel room or enclosed prayer hall), never in public view of non-mahram men.

⚖️ 3 Crucial Rules Regarding Taqsir & Barbers:
1. Do NOT cut hair before Sa'i: Taqsir is only valid AFTER concluding the 7th lap of Sa'i at Mount Marwah. Cutting hair before completing Sa'i violates Ihram.
2. Cutting another pilgrim's hair: A person in Ihram must NEVER cut someone else's hair! You must perform your own Halq or Taqsir first to exit Ihram; only then are you permitted to cut hair for your companion or family.
3. Instant Tahallul: The moment the hair is clipped, your Umrah is 100% complete! All 9 Ihram prohibitions are immediately lifted: you may wear normal clothes, use perfume, clip nails, and resume marital intimacy.

Lap 0 of 7

💡 Circuit 1 Guidance

Align with the Black Stone corner (indicated by green laser on wall). Point your right hand and recite "Bismillahi Allahu Akbar". Men uncover right shoulder (Idtiba') and jog briskly (Ramal).

"Here I am, O Allah, here I am. Here I am, You have no partner, here I am. Verily all praise, blessings, and dominion are Yours. You have no partner." (Sahih al-Bukhari)

2. Upon Seeing the Holy Ka'bah

Entering Haram

اللَّهُمَّ زِدْ هَذَا الْبَيْتَ تَشْرِيفًا وَتَعْظِيمًا وَتَكْرِيمًا وَمَهَابَةً ، وَزِدْ مَنْ شَرَّفَهُ وَعَظَّمَهُ مِمَّنْ حَجَّهُ أَوِ اعْتَمَرَهُ تَشْرِيفًا وَتَكْرِيمًا وَتَعْظِيمًا وَبِرًّا

"Allahumma zid hadhal-bayta tashrifan wa ta'dhiman wa takriman wa mahabah, wa zid man sharrafahu wa 'adh-dhamahu mimman hajjahu awi'tamarahu tashrifan wa takriman wa ta'dhiman wa birra."

"O Allah, increase this House in honor, grandeur, respect, and awe; and increase those who honor and reverence it from among the pilgrims in honor, respect, greatness, and piety."

3. Between the Yemeni Corner and the Black Stone

During Tawaf

رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ

"Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanatan wa fil-akhirati hasanatan wa qina 'adhaban-nar."

"Our Lord, grant us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and save us from the punishment of the Fire." (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:201 / Sunan Abi Dawud)

4. When Drinking Blessed Zamzam Water

Maqam Ibrahim

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا ، وَرِزْقًا وَاسِعًا ، وَشِفَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ

"Allahumma inni as'aluka 'ilman nafi'an, wa rizqan wasi'an, wa shifa'an min kulli da'."

"O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, abundant sustenance, and a cure from every illness." (Mustadrak al-Hakim)

5. Prophetic Dhikr Upon Ascending Mount Safa & Marwah

Sa'i Circuits

اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ، اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ، اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ ، أَنْجَزَ وَعْدَهُ ، وَنَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ ، وَهَزَمَ الْأَحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ

"Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu yuhyi wa yumitu wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir. La ilaha illallahu wahdah, anjaza wa'dah, wa nasara 'abdah, wa hazamal-ahzaba wahdah."

"Allah is the Greatest (3 times). There is no deity except Allah alone, without partner. To Him belongs all sovereignty and praise; He gives life and causes death, and He is over all things capable. There is no deity except Allah alone; He fulfilled His promise, granted victory to His servant, and defeated the confederates alone." (Sahih Muslim 1218)

6. Supplication Upon Shaving or Clipping Hair (Tahallul)

Completion & Exit

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى مَا هَدَانَا ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى مَا أَوْلَانَا ، اللَّهُمَّ هَذِهِ نَاصِيَتِي فَتَقَبَّلْ مِنِّي وَاغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي

"Al-hamdu lillahi 'ala ma hadana, wal-hamdu lillahi 'ala ma awlana. Allahumma hadhihi nasiyati fa-taqabbal minni waghfir li dhunubi."

"Praise be to Allah for guiding us, and praise be to Allah for all He has bestowed upon us. O Allah, this is my forelock; accept from me and forgive me my sins." (Adhkar al-Hajj wal-Umrah)

📚 Essential Umrah Fiqh, Miqat Boundaries & Travel Etiquettes

Every pilgrim intending Umrah or Hajj must enter the state of Ihram before crossing the designated perimeter (Miqat) established by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ:
• Dhul Hulayfah (Abyar Ali): For residents and visitors traveling from Al-Madinah (approx. 450 km north of Makkah).
• Al-Juhfah (near Rabigh): For pilgrims traveling from Egypt, Levant, Europe, and North America arriving by sea or air.
• Qarn al-Manazil (As-Sayl al-Kabir): For travelers from Riyadh, Najd, the Gulf States, and Taif.
• Yalamlam (As-Sa'diyah): For pilgrims traveling from Yemen and southern Asia.
• Dhat 'Irq: Designated by Sayyiduna Umar (radiyallahu 'anhu) for pilgrims arriving from Iraq and the East.

King Abdulaziz International Airport (KAIA) in Jeddah lies inside the Miqat perimeter. Therefore:
• Pilgrims must put on their white Ihram towels / abayas before the flight or change inside the plane lavatory well before reaching the boundary.
• Commercial airlines (Saudia, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Flynas, etc.) make a formal PA announcement approximately 30 minutes before flying over the Miqat line.
• At that moment, make your intention (Niyyah) in your seat: "Labbayk Allahumma 'Umrah" and begin reciting the Talbiyah. Passing the Miqat line without Ihram incurs a compensatory penalty sacrifice (Damm).

While in the sacred state of Ihram, the following 9 restrictions apply strictly:
1. Cutting, trimming, or plucking hair from any part of the body.
2. Clipping finger or toe nails.
3. Applying perfume, scents, or fragrant soaps to clothes or body.
4. For Men: Wearing form-fitting stitched/sewn garments conforming to bodily limbs (e.g. underwear, shirts, trousers, socks).
5. For Men: Covering the head with directly touching headgear (caps, turbans, towels). Umbrellas not touching the head are permissible.
6. For Women: Wearing face veils (Niqab) or gloves (modest loose head covering is mandatory).
7. Marital relations, intimacy, or proposing marriage.
8. Hunting or harming land animals within the Haram sanctuary.
9. Uprooting or cutting green trees and wild plants in the Haram boundary.

What is Taqsir (التقصير)?
Taqsir literally means "to shorten". In pilgrimage jurisprudence, it refers to cutting a portion of the hair from the head to officially exit the state of Ihram (Tahallul al-Asghar).

1. For Men: Halq vs. Taqsir
• Halq (Shaving the entire head): The most virtuous and superior option. The Prophet ﷺ supplicated: "O Allah! Have mercy upon those who shave their heads" three times before mentioning those who trim (Sahih al-Bukhari 1727).
• Taqsir (Trimming) & The "One-Fourth + Single Fingertip" Rule: In classical Fiqh (notably the Hanafi school), the legal minimum required to exit Ihram is trimming at least one-fourth of the head (ربع الرأس) by the measure of a single fingertip's length (Qadr Anmulah / approx. 1 inch / 2–2.5 cm). Trimming from all over the head is the Sunnah practice and unanimously accepted across all four schools. Snipping only 2–3 hairs from the front fringe is legally invalid.

2. For Women: Taqsir is the Sole Prescribed Method
• Shaving the head (Halq) is strictly prohibited (Haram) for women.
• The Sunnah method: The sister gathers all her hair into a single ponytail, holds the ends, and cuts off the length of a single fingertip (approx. 1 inch / 2–2.5 cm) from the tips. This ensures at least one-fourth—and in fact the whole bundle—is trimmed, satisfying all Madhabs.
• This should always be performed in privacy (in the hotel room), never in open view of non-mahrams around the Ka'bah or Marwah.

3. Essential Barbershop & Etiquette Rules
• A pilgrim still in Ihram cannot cut hair for another pilgrim! You must cut your own hair first, exit Ihram, and then you may trim for your companion.
• Barbershops around the Haram in Makkah are licensed and supply new, sterile disposable razor blades for each client. Always ensure the barber opens a fresh razor in front of you.

Visiting Al-Madinah is a beloved Sunnah:
• Sending continuous Salawat upon our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
• Offering Salam at the Prophet's Holy Rawdah (Garden of Paradise) between his chamber and minbar with deep reverence and lowered voices.
• Praying 2 Rak'ahs in Masjid Quba, which equals the reward of an Umrah.
• Visiting the martyrs of Mount Uhud and Jannat al-Baqi cemetery.
