Step One - Ihram
Ihram – a sacred state (of mind and body) into which a Muslim enters before performing Hajj or ’Umrah.
If you are flying into Makkah, your Ihram will begin on the plane at a location outside of Makkah. This will usually be about an hour and a half before you enter Makkah, and you will be notified by an announcement. These locations where Ihram begins are known as Meeqats.
Step Two - Tawaf
Tawaf – the ritual of circulating the Ka’bah seven times on Hajj and Umrah.
Before beginning the Tawaf:
- You must have wudu. (Menstruating women cannot perform Tawaf).
Men should wear their Ihrams so that their right shoulder is bare. This is known as Idtiba’a. Men need to cover their shoulder again after their Tawaf is complete (i.e. after seven tawafs).
Step Three - After Tawaf
The Tawaf you are performing is known as Tawaf Al-Ifadah, and to complete it, you must pray at Maqam Ibrahim and drink Zamzam water. Here are the steps:
What must you do at Maqam Ibrahim?
- After completing Tawaf, go towards Maqam Ibrahim reciting the above ayah.
- Stand so the Maqam Ibrahim is between you and the Ka’bah. Don’t try to stand directly in front of it – it will be far too crowded. Anywhere in Al-Masjid Al-Haram is fine, as long as the Maqam is between you and the Ka’bah.
- Pray two rakats. It is recommended to recite Surah Kafiroon in the first rakat and Surah Ikhlas in the second rakat (after Surah Fatihah, of course).
Step Four - Sa’ee
How do you perform Sa’ee?
- It is recommended to have wudu, but it is not compulsory. Menstruating women should perform Sa’ee.
- On your way to Sa’ee, you may recite this ayah about Safa and Marwah.
- Begin Sa’ee at Safa.
- You must make seven rounds between the hills of Safa and Marwah. Walking from Safa to Marwa is counted as one round, and Marwah to Safa as another round.
- Men only must run part of the way. This area is clearly marked by green tubelights.
