1. Cheap Umrah 2013

2. What is Umrah?
 In Arabic, the word 'Umrah is derived from I'timaar which
means a visit. However, 'Umrah in Islamic terminology,
means paying a visit to Ka' bah, performing Tawaaf
(circumambulation) around it, walking between Safaa and
Marwah seven times. A performer of 'Umrah puts off his
Ihraam by having his hair shaved or cut. 'Umrah can be
performed along with Hajj and in other days as well.
 'Umrah can be performed during anytime in the year, there is
no fixed time for 'Umrah.
 The Pillars of `Umrah are four:
 a) Ihram: which is assumed at the Meeqaat?
 b) Tawaaf: around the House.
 c) Say’s: walking between As-Safaa and Al-Marwah, which
consists of seven circuits?
 d) Tahal-lul: which means coming out of the state of Ihram;
becoming lawful what was previously prohibited during
Ihram.

3. How to perform Umrah?
 . When the one who wants to perform 'Umrah
arrives at the Meeqaat, it is recommended for him
(both man and woman) to take a bath if
convenient, including menstruating women and
those experiencing postnatal bleeding. The man
perfumes his head and beard but not his Ihraam
garments. There is no harm in what remains of it
after Ihraam. There is nothing wrong if it is not
possible to take a bath at Meeqaat.

4.  Men are to change into their clothing of Ihraam
while the women only need to make their
intention at that time in the clothing they are
already wearing. There is no specific clothing
designated for women, except that they are
prohibited from wearing the Niqaab (face-veil)
and gloves. Instead, they may cover their hands
with the lower part of their khimaar (head
covering), while using the upper part of their
jilbaab (outer garment) or a separate piece of
fabric to cover their faces by drawing it down, if
there is need to do so.

5.  As for men, they must assume their
Ihraam at the Meeqaat by wearing two
pieces of fabric called the Izaar and the
Ridaa'. The Ridaa' covers the top half of
the body, while the Izaar covers the lower
half. No other clothing is allowed to be
worn in addition to these – no underwear,
no pants, no shirt, no turban, no hat, etc.
are to be worn.

6.  Then the pilgrim makes the intention at the Meeqaat to begin the rites
of 'Umrah by entering the state of Ihraam. The intention must be made
in the heart, while the statement made afterwards is: "Labayka 'Umrah"
or "Allahumma labbayka 'Umrah". This statement begins the rites of
`Umrah. So the first pillar of `Umrah is the Ihraam. The intention is
made in the heart, while the tongue recites the opening Talbiyyah. And
if you wish, when uttering Talbiyyah, you may state a condition to
Allaah fearing that which may prevent you from completion of the
‘Umrah whether illness or fear - saying "in habasanee haabes fa
mahillee haithu habastanee" (I come out of the state of Ihraam from the
place You prevent me from continuing). So if you do that and are then
prevented or become ill - then you may come out of Ihraam. Then
repeat the Talbiyyah: "labbayk Allahumma labbayk, labbayka laa
shareeka laka labbayk, innal-hamda wan-ni'mata laka wal-mulk, laa
shareeka lak" (“In response to your call O Allaah I perform ‘Umrah,
here I am O Allaah. In response to Your call. You have no partner. In
response to Your call. All Praise and Blessings, and the Ownership of
all that You created is Yours (alone). You have no partner”)

7.  Upon arriving at the K'abah, stop reciting the
Talbiyyah, then approach the Black Stone, touch
it with your right hand and kiss it. If this isn't
possible, you should face the Black Stone and
point to it. Don’t push and shove, causing harm
and being harmed by other people. When
touching the Stone, the following is said:
"Bismil-laah, Allaahu Akbar" (In the name of
Allah, Allah is the Greatest) or "Allah Akbar"
(Allah is the Greatest).

8.  A pilgrim must walk, keeping the Ka'bah on his left. When
you reach the Yamaani corner touch it with your right
hand, if possible, but do not kiss it, and say: "Bismil-
laahiwa Allah Akbar". If this is difficult for you, then go on
performing tawaaf without touching it, pointing at it or
even saying "Allaahu Akbar" because this was not
narrated from the Prophet on the other hand whenever
you reach or are parallel to the black stone, touch it with
your right hand, kiss it and say, "Bismillaah Allah Akbar", if
it is not possible then it is enough to point at it and say,
"Bismillaah, Allah Akbar".
