THE RITES OF UMRAH:

The only rites of Umrah are: 1.  Entering the state of Ihram

2.  Tawaf of Ka�bah

3.  Sa�yee between the hills of Safa and Marwah 4.  4. Shaving or clipping of the hair

1. IHRAM «  The literal meaning of Ihram is to make haraam

(forbidden).

«  When a haji pronounces the Niyyah (intention) Umrah and utters Talbiyah, certain halaal (permissible) things become haraam for him.

«  The two sheets that a haji wears are figuratively known as Ihram but the real Ihram is Niyyah & Talbiyah.

«  If someone wears these two sheets and does not declare his intention and utter Talbiyah, he does not become a Muhrim.

«  That is why, before Niyyah and Talbiyah, he can cover his head during two rakahs of Nafl, an act which is not allowed in the real state of Ihram.

Ihram For Men and Women Men-Ihram for men consists of two pieces of white, unsewn cloth, One of the piece (izar) is wrapped round the midriff to cover his body from just above his navel to his ankles, and the other (Rida) is draped around his shoulders to cover the upper body

BELT Women-According to many hadiths, it is not necessary for a woman to wear special clothing while in a state of ihram. Women are expected to wear clothing that conceals the shape and covers the body completely, leaving only their faces and hands exposed. According to some authors, however, gloves can be worn.

2.Intention and Talbiyah. Now uncover your head and declare your intention. It is assumed that you are performing Hajj al-Tammat'u in which Umrah is performed first as described later in the "Kinds of Hajj".

allaahumma innee ureedul umrata fayassirhaalee wataqabbalhaa minnee

Immediately after that utter the words of Talbiyah three times and as often afterwards as possible. If you don't remember it, you can say its translation in English or in any other language but Talbiah or its translation is pronounced in a loud voice by men and in a subdued voice by women.!

TABIYAH

"Labbayk, Allahumma Labbayk. Labbayk. La shareeka laka. Labbayk.Innal-hamda wan-n'imata laka wal-mulk. La shareeka lak."

“Here I am, O Lord, here I am, You indeed have no partner, here I am No Doubt, all praise and bounties are yours, and so is the absolute Domain. You indeed have no partners, here I am”

3.Du'a. ²  After this recite Darud Sharif and supplicate to

Allah Almighty any du'a in Arabic or in your own language.

4.Prohibitions of Ihram. After intention and Talbiyah, you are in the status of Ihram and from this time on you should not do acts that are forbidden in Ihram ² Cover head (men), cover face (women) ² Cover the middle bone of the upper part of the feet

(Both men and women)) ² Shave / cut hair ² Cut nails ² Wear perfume ² Wear stitched clothing (men) / (Women can wear their

ordinay clothes) ² Hunting / killing ² Sex

. .

5. Journey towards Makkah When this sacred journey towards Makkah al-Mukarrama starts, recite Talbiyah frequently on the way.

²  Then enter the city very humbly and with great fondness still reciting Talbiyah.

²  After arranging for your residence, proceed to the Haram Sharif to perform Umrah. Ihram:

²  You should be already in Ihram for Umrah before entering Mecca as mentioned above

5. Entering Masjid al-Haram: While reciting Talbiyah, enter Masjid al-Haram preferably through Bab as-Salam with right foot first.

bismillaahi wassalaatu wassalaamu alaa rasoolillaah. Allaahummaftah lee abwaaba rahmatik

MECCA & HARAM

Restrictions while in the Haram «  Every good deed or bad deed is multiplied by 100,000

times

«  Its plants must not be cut

«  Its game must not be frightened,

«  Articles lost in it must not be picked up except by someone making announcement to find the owner,

«  Nor is any man to bear arms for fighting in it. Note: the above is part of a Hadith of the Prophet (pbuh)

«  These restrictions apply to the haram of Madinah as well.

«  They apply to everyone whether in a state of Ihraam or not, during any time of the year

2. TAWAF OF UMRAH

Tawaf means circling around something . Here it means moving around Ka�bah seven times with extreme love and devotion.

1.Preparation: Pass the upper sheet of Ihram from underneath the right arm and put it on the left shoulder. This act bares the right shoulder and is known as Iztaba. Ablutions (vudu) is essential for tawaf. Reciting of Talbiyah is stopped when you reach Hajar-e- Aswad, the starting point of tawaf.

2.Niyyah (Intention): Stand in front of Ka�bah facing Hajar-e-Aswad (the Black Stone) in such a way that the whole Hajre-e-Aswad is on your right side. To achieve this end, you may get help from the black stripe on the floor. This stripe should be on your right side. Then without raising your hands make Niyyah (intention) for Umrah:

" O Allah, I perform Tawaf of Umrah to please You. Make it easy for me and accept it from me."

4.Tawaf Starts: «  After Istilam, turn right and start tawaf counter

clockwise.WARNING «  The authorities often apply perfume to Hajar-e-Aswad,

Rukn Yamani and Multazam. If so, do not touch them while in the state of Ihram, otherwise a dum will be required as a penalty.

« During tawaf, it is not permissible to face or turn your back towards Ka�bah except when you are kissing or pointing towards Hajar-e-Aswad.

« 5.Ramal: «  For the first three circuits of Tawaf of Umrah and Tawaf of

Arrival, men are required to move their shoulders and walk with quick short steps.

«  This act is called Ramal and is Sunnah. «  They walk normally during the remaining four circuits.

7.Hatim: Hatim is a semi-circular half-built portion which was originally a part of the Ka�bah but which could not be included in the main structure when the Ka�bah was rebuilt. It is obligatory to go around Hatim also while performing tawaf.

8.Rukn Yamani and its Supplications: After passing the three corners of the Ka�bah you reach the fourth corner known as Rukn Yamani. Touch it with both hands or with right hand. There is a beautiful supplication to be used while walking between Rukn Yamani and Hajar-e-Aswad:

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

Our beloved Prophet (peace be upon him) has repeatedly recited this supplication. The first circuit is complete when you reach Hajar-e-Aswad.

12.Multazam: «  Now, come to Multazam which is a place five or six feet in length between Hajar-e-Aswad and the door of Ka�bah. «  This is a highly sacred place where prayers are accepted. «  if it is possible to reach Multazam, cling to it pressing your chest and cheeks, and while trembling and crying with devotion and with all humility seek Allah�s mercy, His blessings and ask Him whatever you wish. « If you are unable to come close to Multazam, just face towards it and supplicate from a distance.

13.After Completing Tawaf, proceed to Maqaam‐e Ibraaheem ‐ (Prophet Ibraaheem's station) Recite this verse (which means):

1.Next offer two rakahs of nafls behind and close to Maqam Ibrahim without covering your head. If it is zawal time when sajdah is not allowed, you have to wait till this undesirable time is passed and then offer prayers.

In the niyyah (intention), say that you are offering 2 rakahs of nafls wajib al- tawaf. Recite Qul ya ayya hal kafroon in the first rakah and Qulhu wallah in the second rakah. After this, supplicate to Allah in Arabic or in your own language. Ask Him whatever you wish and invoke His blessings.

If it is not possible to offer this obligatory prayer near Maqam Ibrahim, it can be offered anywhere in Mataf, or in Hatim or anywhere in Masjid al-Haram or even at any place in Haram of Makkah.!

SAFA (Start)

The Sa’iy Area is approximately ½ Km each round The total seven rounds is less than 3.5 km.

SA’IY 7 RUNS BETWEEN SAFA & MARWA The Fast-Walking Area

Between the Green Columns

4. At Marwah. «  When on top of marwah, praise Allah facing the

Ka�bah and repeat the same supplications that were recited at Safa.

«  One trip is over, second trip will be on Safa and third trip will be on Marwah.

5.End of Sa�ey. In the same way, the seventh trip will end at Marwah.

«  In all trips the men will run between the green pillars but the women will walk in a normal way.

6.Two raka�at Nafl. If it is not an undesirable (Makrooh) time, offer two raka�ats of nafl in the al-Haram.

Shaving or Clipping of hair. « After Sa�ey, men should get their heads

completely shaved or get their hair clipped to the length of the upper third of their finger or a little more.

« Both shaving and clipping are permissible for men, though shaving is preferable.

« Women are, however, allowed to have a lock of their hair clipped. They are forbidden to shave their heads.

7.Umrah is complete. «  After cutting the hair, umrah is complete. The

restrictions of Ihram are finished.

«  Now wear your everyday clothes and lead a normal life. Be thankful to Allah that He provided the opportunity for performing Umrah and lead rest of your life according to the commands of your Creator.

NAFL TAWAF « You may perform Umrah as often as you want

according to the above procedure. « And if you want to perform just a nafl Tawaf, follow

the same procedure, however, in a nafl Tawaf there is no Ihram, no Ramal, no Iztaba and even no Sa�ey.

Performing multiple Umras

«  This practice has no basis in the Sunnah of the Prophet (pbuh) or the practice of his companions (rAa).

«  There is no report that the Prophet (pbuh) or the companions after him accumulated multiple Umras while staying in Makkah waiting for Hajj.

«  Repeating the Umra incurs hardship and causes many pilgrims to miss on Fardh prayers because of tiredness.

«  One who repeats the Umra may be compared to someone who prays the Sunnah of Fajr, and while waiting for the Fardh prayer decides to stand up and repeat the Sunnah multiple times, or someone who decides to repeat the Witr prayer after Isha.

The exception here is a Umra which one performs for:

«  A deceased person

«  A sick) or an old person who is not able to perform Umra by himself/herself.

«  Fulfillment of a pledge.

Stay in Makkah «  If you did Tamattu’, you completed your Umra and now remain in the state of “Hill” ( ححلل ) (being out of the state of Ihraam) until the day of Tarwiyah (8 th Dhul-Hijjah).

«  While in Makkah use time wisely, it is so precious there. Avoid excessive time on shopping and idle discussions

«  In the Haram, the reward for good deeds is multiplied 100,000 times, and so is the punishment for sins.

«  Try not to miss any salat in the Masjid Al-Haram; each salat there is better than 100,000 salat elsewhere: the equivalent of more than 55 years of salat!

«  Make optional tawaf as much as possible, as it is better than salat in the Masjid Al-Haram. But do not exhaust yourself.

«  Keep yourself busy with salat, recitation of the Qur’an, Tawaf, dhikr and reflection. Make lots of du’a.

«  Do not neglect other forms of Ibadah: charity, fasting, help others, say salam, smile, etc.

«  Try not to walk in front of any praying person in the masjid. You should pray two rak'at of "taHiyyat al-masjid" in case you don't intend to make Tawaf. .

Makkah - 10 Dhul-Hijjah «  Then you go off that day to Makkah and make Tawaf al-

IfaDah in the same way as in the Tawaf of arrival, except that there is no idtiba’ (uncovering right shoulder) or ramal (bold walk) in this Tawaf.

«  Follow the same procedures as Tawaf of Umrah

«  Pray two rak'ahs behind Maqaam Ibraheem, if possible, or anywhere in the masjid if not.

«  Then you do sa’y between Safaa and Marwah as before.

«  After this Tawaf (al-Ifadah) you are in a state of complete taHallul.

«  Drink from Zamzam.

«  Return to Mina.

Mina 10th-12th Dhul Hijjah «  There are four acts to be performed between the 10th and 12thof Dhul Hijjah:

«  Rami (pelting) – This has to be performed on each day.

«  Nahr (Animal sacrifice)

«  Halaq or Qasar (Shaving or trimming hair)

«  Tawaf al-Ziyarah

«  Rami (pelting) is performed on the 10th, 11th and 12th.

«  Nahr, Halaq/Qasar and Tawaf al-Ziyarah must be performed within the three days of 10th,11th and 12th.

«  Slaughter your animal in any part of Mina or Makkah unless you have coupon for sacrifice.

«  Then you shave off all of your hair or shorten it. Shaving is better.

«  If you shorten your hair it has to be from all over the head, not part of it only (like the sides). Start with the right side of the head. The woman shortens her hair the length of a finger joint.

«  Go to your camp in Mina, take a shower, put on new clothes and perfume.

Mina During Hajj

Rami- Pelting of Stones

«  Rami is wajib.It is sunnah to pelt with the right hand. «  It is sunnah to say Allahu Akbar with every throw. «  Minahas three tall pillars known as Jamaraat. «  These pillars mark the places where Ibrahim was tested by the whispers of Shaytan «  Thethree pillars are:

«  Jamaraat al-Aqabah or Kubra (The big pillar) «  Jamaraat al-Wusta (The middle pillar) «  Jamaraat al-Sughra (The small pillar)

«  One should throw the pebbles one at a time and not all at onc The recitation of the Talbiyah will end upon the first throw.

«  As long as the pebbles land within the enclosure, regardless of whether they hit the pillar or not, it counts as a valid throw.

«  Do not stop to make du’a at the Jamarat after pelting. Keep moving. «  On the 10th of Dhul Hijjah, only pelt the biggest pillar 7 times. «  On the 11th,12th and 13th (if one stays), one will pelt each pillar seven times, beginning

from the smallest. The times for pelting the Jamarah al-Aqabah «  Before sunrise Makruh «  Sunrise-Midday- Sunnah «  Midday to Sunset- Permissible «  Sunset to Fajr (of the 11th- Makruh

Makkah-Mina «  Leave Mina for Makka on 13th Dhil -Hijj after throwing stones

«  Stay in Mina for the days of tashreeq ( أيّام التشريق ) and their nights.

«  Most scholars consider the staying in Mina as a Wajib. You may go at night to make tawaf and return to Mina if you wish. It is reported that the Prophet (pbuh) did it.

«  Stone the three Jamarat each with seven pebbles in each of those days, after zawaal (when the sun moves from its zenith, i.e. Dhuhr time).

«  After the first and the second Jamarat, move forward to the side and stand facing the Qiblah for a long time making du'a while raising your hands.

«  Return to Mina

«  You may leave on the 12th after stoning the Jamaraat if you wish

Tawaf-e- Ziarah «  Now perform Tawaf-e-Ziarat.

«  Tawaf al-Ziyarah is a fardh.

«  It can be performed any time, day or night, from 10 Zil Hijjah to the sunset of 12 Zil Hijjah. Usually it is convenient to do it on 11 Zil Hijjah.

«  Its procedure is similar to that of Tawaf of Umrah and it is essential that you have performed wudu.

«  According to Sunnah this tawaf is to be performed after Rami, sacrifice and shaving or clipping of the hair, and every effort should be made to do that, but the Fard stands discharged even if Tawaf-e-Ziarat is performed prior to all these practices.

«  As mentioned earlier, Halq or Qasr after Qurbani lifts all the prohibitions of Ihram but the private relations between man and wife are permitted only after this Tawaf.

«  Until Tawaf al-Ziyarah is not performed, one cannot be intimate with one’s spouse

Tawaful wida - Farewell «  Go to Makkah and make a farewell Tawaf.

«  Tawaf al-Wadaa’ is wajib.

«  It can be performed anytime after Tawaf al-Ziyarah.

«  Perform two Ra’kah of Tawaf.

«  The Prophet (pbuh) said:”None of you should depart until he makes his last act Tawaf of the House.“

«  Even after Tawaf al-Wadaa’, a person can enter the Masjid, perform Tawaf, Salah and even Umrah.

«  No Sa’y needed but if you do same as say of Umrah

«  Leave masjid with left foot saying Darood + duah

Makkah - Last day «  Let the Tawaf be the last thing you do in

Makkah

«  Obligation before leaving Makka. Tawaaf Wida

«  After Tawaf Al-Wida you must leave Makkah, or else another Tawaf should be made.

«  Sunnah to bring Zamzam water home

«  When leaving Makka, recite travel duah.

«  May Allah accept your Hajj-Ameen

«  You will Insha'Allah return spiritually refreshed, forgiven of their sins, and ready to start life anew, with a clean slate.
