Ihraam literally means to declare something unlawful upon

oneself.

Ihraam is commonly referred to the clothing worn by a person

performing Umrah or Hajj.
However, Ihraam in the context of Shariah refers to entering
into a state of adhering to the prohibitions of even normally
permitted things, with the intention of performing Hajj and/or
Umrah. The wearing of the white clothing symbolises this state,
although this state is not entered into by wearing the sheets of
white alone.

Before coming into the state of Ihraam:

It is sunnah to take a bath.
It is mustahab :
to trim ones moustache
remove hair from pubic areas
clip nails
apply perfume
2

Male Ihraam:
It is preferable to wear two white new or
washed sheets of cloth: an upper garment and
lower garment.
Males should wear slippers/sandals which
expose the instep of the foot.
2

Female Ihraam:
Women may wear an abaya, scarf, gloves,
socks and shoes.
The face must not have anything touching
it physically. However, as it is part of
Hijab, a lady should cover the face with
caps fitted with veils.
2

It is sunnah to perform 2 rakat of salah

just before entering into the state of
Ihraam.
It is preferable to recite Surah Kafirun in
the first rakat and Surah Ikhlas in the
second rakat.

One must enter into the state of Ihraam before passing the miqaat
boundary.
Miqaat is the outer boundary from where those wishing to perform Hajj
or Umrah must enter into the state of Ihram.
5 Boundaries:
1) Dhul Hulaifah: north of Makkah
2) Al-Juhfah/Rabigh : north west of Makkah. (This is applicable to those
who come from the west)
3) Yalamlam- south east of Makkah.
4) Qarn al-Manazil: east of Makkah.
5) Dhat al-Iraq: North east of Makkah in the direction of Iraq.

 Niyyah + Talbiyah = Ihraam

One may recite the following

dua

before reciting the talbiyah:

One

should then recite the talbiyah

with the intention of coming into
Ihraam.

Talbiyah is the pilgrims answer to Allahs call to Hajj.

Labbayk Allahuma Labbayk. Labbayka La Shareeka Laka

Labbayk. Innal Hamda Wan-Nimata laka wal mulk. La
Shareeka Laka
Here I am at Your service, O Lord, here I am. Here I am, there is no
partner for You, here I am. Truly, all praise, favours and sovereignty are
Yours. There is no partner for You.

Sahl ibn Sad reports that the Prophet salallahu alaihi

wasallam said,
When a Muslim recites Talbiyah, then verily every stone, tree
and even the ground around him recite the Talbiyah with
him to the ends of the Earth. (Tirmidhi)
The Talbiyah should be recited as much as possible.
Men should recite the talbiyah audibly without disturbing
others. Women should recite the talbiyah quietly.
The talbiyah should be recited individually and not
collectively.

Sins are even more emphatically forbidden.

The city of Makkah should be entered very humbly with the

heart fully conscious of the Grandeur of Almighty Allah.
It is not a sight-seeing trip.
Upon entering the city of Makkah, one will be taken to the
hotel. Place baggage in the hotel.
If you are really tired and it is not salah time, it is advisable to
rest before performing Umrah. Umrah can take many hours in
peak times like the Hajj season and therefore requires plenty of
energy.
If one is travelling with the elderly and unwell, it may be a wise
idea to perform Umrah at night when the heat is less.
One should be engaged in reciting the talbiyah all the while.

Enter with the right foot reading the duas and reciting
salawaat upon the Prophet salallahu alaihi wasallam.
Proceed to the kabah not as a tourist but as a servant
with utmost humbleness.
Reach a place where the kabah is clearly visible and
which is not obstructing others.
Stop and make dua. This is a very sacred place and
time for the acceptance of dua.

Tawaf is a compulsory part of Umrah and Hajj.

Tawaf is to walk around the kabah seven times.
It is wajib (necessary) to have wudhu when
performing Tawaf.
To begin Tawaf, one should proceed to the corner
of the Kabah where the black stone is. This
corner of the kabah faces one minaret only, the
others have two.

Men should uncover their right shoulder by taking

the Ihraam sheet under their right arm. This is
called Idhtibaa.
Idhtibaa should be done just before the Tawaf and
not long before. Likewise, once the Tawaf is
completed, one should cover his shoulder again.
Women must not uncover any part of their body.
The recitation of Talbiyah ends with the
commencing of Tawaf.

Step in line with the black stone with the body facing it. Now 2
actions need to be done:
1) Istiqbaal
2)Istilaam
Istiqbaal is to raise one hands like one does in salah whilst facing
the black stone and say:

After raising the hands and saying the above, one will put the
hands back down to ones side. This will always be done when one
commences any tawaf.

Istilaam is to make some form of contact directly or

indirectly with the al-Hajr al-aswad (black stone).
If one can touch the black stone without pushing,
shoving or causing some difficulty, then one should
place both hands on the stone and then place ones lips
in between. When kissing the stone, a noise should not
be made.
If one cannot kiss the stone, then merely touching the
stone and kissing ones hands will suffice.
Nowadays, due to the crowds, the above are very
difficult.

It is sufficient to be in line with the black stone facing

it from a distance, with the palms of both hands raised
towards the black stone, saying:

After pointing to the black stone with ones palms, one

should kiss his hands and put them down.

Istilaam will be performed a total of 8 times: at the

beginning of every round in tawaf and after
completing the 7th round.

After performing Istilaam, one will begin tawaf(circumambulation)

of the kabah.
A male will walk briskly in the first three rounds. This is called
Raml.
If it is not possible to walk briskly due to the crowds, or due to one
having to look after family, one may walk normally.
A female will not do raml. She will walk normally.
Raml will only be performed in the first three rounds, in the last
four rounds, a male should walk normally.
Raml and idhitbaa will only take place in that tawaf which has a
sai after it.
In a nafl tawaf, one will not perform raml or idhtibaa.

One must walk around the hatim and not cut through.
During tawaf recite Quran, dhikr and make dua.
One should avoid talking whilst performing tawaf.
One should not read loud in a manner which disturbs
others.
It is disliked to eat.
One may drink zamzam in between if one feels thirsty.

235

Whilst performing tawaf, if ones wudhu breaks, a

fardh salah starts or one needs to take a break, then it
is permissible to pause the tawaf and then continue
from the very place he stopped.
One will not gesture to any other corner of the kabah
besides the corner with the black stone.
It is mustahab to touch the al-Rukn al-Yamani (Yemeni
corner) if it possible. If one cannot go near it due to
the crowd, one should not gesture towards to it.
The al-Rukn al-Yamani should not be kissed.

The tawaf is completed upon making istilaam of al-hajr

al-aswad (the black stone) at the end of the 7th round.
This will be the eighth istilaam in total.
It is wajib to perform two rakats after tawaf.
The two rakats should not be performed in the makruh
times for salah. These times are: After the fajr prayer, at
sunrise, at zenith, after the Asr prayer and at sunset.
It is preferable to perform these two rakats behind almaqam al-Ibrahim. However, if there is not sufficient
space, one may perform these two rakats anywhere.

Sai is a wajib element in Umrah. It is

performed after the tawaf. Sai is to walk
between the two hillocks Safa and Marwah.

Sai is performed by walking between these two

hillocks seven times, starting at Safa and ending
at Marwah.

Sai takes place in a place called the masaa.

After performing the two rakats for tawaf,

one should go in line with the al-hajr alaswad again and do istilaam for the
commencing of sai.

He will then exit the masjid and head

towards the Safa hillock which is located in
the masaa (place where sai is done).

One will come to the safa hillock ensuring one is standing on

the hillock of safa.
Face the Qiblah and one will say

Allahu Akbar la ilaha illah

one should then make dua to Allah.
Now head towards Marwah.
When the green light approaches, a male should run until the
next green light.

Women will not run between the two green lights at the
masaa.
When a person reaches marwah, he has completed one lap.
At Marwah, one will again face towards the Qiblah and say
Allahu Akbar la ilaha illah
one should then make dua to Allah.
After making dua, one will head again towards Safa.
One will repeatedly do this until he finishes the seventh lap
from Safa to Marwah.

After standing on Marwah the seventh time and

making dua, it is mustahab to perform 2 rakats
in the masjid.

It is not necessary to have wudhu when

performing sai.
One should engage in dhikr and dua.
If salah starts or one needs to take a break,
it is permissible to continue from where
one paused.

Shaving or trimming the hair is wajib for men to come out of

Ihraam.
Shaving the head is better than trimming the hair.
All the hair on the head should be shaved or trimmed.
It is permissible to cut ones own hair or go to the barbers.
A woman must only cut an inch of her hair and no more. She
can cut it herself.
Once a person cuts his/her hair, they are free from the laws of
Ihraam and the Umrah is complete.

8 acts are not permissible whilst experiencing ones

menses:
1) Performing Salah
2) Fasting
3) Reciting the Quran
4) Touching the Quran
5) Entering a masjid
6) Performing Tawaf
7) Intimate relations
8) Fulfilling ones passions by using the area between the
navel and knees without a barrier in between.

A woman will not perform the two rakats

sunnah before Ihram if she is in her menses.
A woman will merely recite the Talbiyah and
make niyyah to come into the state of Ihram.
A woman can recite the Talbiyah and any dua in
her menses.

salah, enter the masjid or perform Tawaf in her
menses.

 If

a woman is experiencing her

menses, she will not perform any
Salah or Tawaf.
A woman will not enter al-Masjid alHaram until after her menses are
completed and she has taken a bath.

If a woman entered into Ihram and she

was experiencing her menses, then she will
not perform the Umrah until after she
becomes free of her menses.
She will have to remain in the state of
Ihram until she performs Umrah.

If she could not perform Umrah due to the

Hajj days starting, and she is still in her menses,
then she should release herself from the Ihram
of Umrah and now enter into the state of
Ihram for Hajj.
A woman will have to perform Qadha of
Umrah and give a dam penalty in this scenario.
Umrah should not be performed between the
9th-13th Dhul Hijjah by men and women.

Your Umrah is now complete!

You are now free from all the prohibitions

of Ihraam.

Worship Allah in the most sacred place

and turn to Him with your heart.

Abu Hurayra radiallahu anhu said that the Prophet salallahu alaihi
wasallam was asked, Which is the best action?" He replied,
"Belief in Allah and His Messenger." He was asked, "Then
what?" he replied, "Jihad in the way of Allah." He was asked,
"And then what?" He replied, "An accepted hajj." [Agreed
upon]

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported

that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
said: "The performance of `Umrah is expiation for
the sins committed between it and the previous ones.
And the reward for Hajj Mabrur (pilgrimage
accepted by Allah) is nothing but Paradise." (Sahih Al
Bukhari, Vol. 3, Book 27, hadith no. 1)

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him)

reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings
be upon him) said "Whoever performs Hajj to
this house - Ka'bah- and does not commit any
obscenity and wrongdoing, he, or she, will
come out as the day he, or she, was born - pure
and free from sins." [Agreed upon]
