Performing umrah


بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Umrah

Meaning of umrah is to visit something. It is called small hajj. Except 9 – 13th Jilhaj of Arabic calendar any one can perform umrah at any day of of the year. Any person who is going to Makkah for performing umrah must wear ihram at Miqat or before crossing Miqat near to his way to Makkah.

Miqat

For all Muslim who are coming to Makkah in intention to perform hajj or umrah five places are decided as Miqat by Rasulullah sallallahu alihe osallam. Miqat is the place where hajjis change their dress & wear ihram. At all Miqat there are mosque , all hajjis perform salah after wearing ihram at that mosque. Hajjis who are coming to Makkah by air or by sea they must wear ihram before passing Miqat. Normally it is declared by pilot or captain to wear ihram before passing Miqat. Some hajjis wear ihram before on board to plane or ship, this is better. Share your experience here about this issue.

ihram

ihram is Arabic word, it's meaning is forbid something which are halal when you are with out ihram. but when you are in ihram & you wear ihram cloth then these things are forbidden. Normally ihram is two pieces of white stitch less clothes worn by hajjis. Many things are forbidden during ihram. So many hajjis may have experience doing forbidden things wrongly or unwillingly. Share your experience for pilgrims.
