Umrah Rituals in a Step-by-Step Guide
Pilgrims prepare the intention (niyyah) and go to the state of Ihram before entering Makkah by passing through the specified Miqat. After arriving at Masjid al-Haram, do Tawaf seven times, and then two rakahs of prayer. Then follows Sa`i, who walks seven times between the hills of Safa and Marwah. Lastly, men trim or shave their hair, whereas women trim a little bit of it, and the pilgrimage is done.
