Purpose of Umrah
‫عن أبي هريرة أن رسول اهلل صلى اهلل عليه‬
:‫العمرة إلى العمرة كفارة لما بينهما وسلم قال‬
.‫والحج المبرور ليس له جزاء إال الجنة‬
The Prophet (SAW) said: "(The
performance of) Umrah is an expiation for
the sins committed between it and the
previous Umrah; and the reward of Hajj
Mabrur is nothing but Jannah”
[Bukhari and Muslim].
Purpose of Umrah
Abdullah Ibn Mas’ood (ra) reports that
Rasoolollah (saw) said,
“Perform Hajj and Umrah one after the
other for surely they (Hajj and Umrah)
remove poverty and sins just as the
furnace removes dirt of iron, gold and
silver.”
(Tirmidhi, Nasa’ee)

times

Al-Idtiba‘ ( ‫ط َباع‬
ِ ‫) اإلض‬: MEN ONLY

◦ Idtiba is the only time the shoulder will be
uncovered.

َّ ): MEN ONLY
◦ a strong and quick walk with boldness, in which the
shoulders are thrust forwards.

The Black Stone & Istilaam

Go straight to the Black Stone and facing it
make takbeer like the way for Salah and
recite
Bismillahi Allahu Akbar
Walillahil Hamd



Then kiss it, and make sajda upon as the
Prophet (pbuh) did that.
If your are not able to kiss it then touch it with
your right hand then kiss your hand.
If you cannot touch it you should make a
sign towards it with your hands and kiss
your hand softly without making a sound.
Remaining Istilaam’s
1. You will not turn your body towards the
Kabah but just your chest.
2. Make the gesture of touching the
Hajarul Aswad with your hands and then
kiss your hands once without making a
sound.
One tawaaf will have 8
Istilaams. One for each
circuit and one at the
Tawaf/Sa'y counter beads end (7 + 1 = 8)
Tawaf – Notes (1)
1.You do not have to say your intention out
loud to begin Tawaf. Saying intentions out
loud is something the Prophet (pbuh)
never did except after Ihraam when he
said, “Labbayk Allahuma Labbayk”
2.A state of wudhu’ is required for all kinds
of Tawaf.
3.A menstruating woman does not make
Tawaf until she becomes pure.
4.All kinds of Tawaf, including optional
Tawaf, consist of seven circuits around the
Ka'bah.
Tawaf – Notes (2)

Continue Tawaf without interruption, unless it is necessary,
otherwise it will be void.

When it is time for the obligatory Salaat you stop your Tawaf,
join the Salaat in your place and then resume your Tawaf from
where you left.

If you need to go to the bathroom you may interrupt your
Tawaf and go. Make Wudu before coming back to resume your
Tawaf. You resume your Tawaf from where you left. However,
some scholars say that you need to start over from the
beginning of that circuit only (this is a safer option).

The Ka’bah should be to your left. Do not do Tawaf with your
back or right to the ka’bah. Do not walk backwards.

Tawaf shall be performed within the boundaries of Al-Masjid AlHaraam.
