Umrah Requirements - Who can Perform Umrah

Umrah is also called as mini hajj. It is derived from an Arabic word “I’timaar” which means visit and the word Umrah means paying a visit to holy Kaaba. Although it is not made obligatory for Muslims doing Umrah can reward you in akhirah. Umrah is different from Hajj in its performance. Umrah can be performed at any time throughout the year while hajj can be performed only in the month of Zul Hajj. And during Umrah pilgrims don’t go to Mina, Arafat, Muzdalifah and also do not have to sacrifice animals. There are four pillars or faraiz of Umrah:

  1. Ihram
  2. Tawaaf
  3. Saai
  4. Tahal-lul
