| Rituals
of Umra |
| In
Arabic the word `Umrah is derived from I`timar which means
a visit. However, `Umrah technically means paying a visit
to Ka`bah, performing Tawaf [Circumambulation] around
it, walking between Safa and Marwah seven times. A performer
of `Umrah puts off his Ihram by having his hair shaved
or cut. |

In Ramadan |
- Hadeeth narrated by Abdullah Ibn Abbas , Prophet
Muhammad, has said:
- "To perform Umrah in Ramadan is like performing
Hajj in my company."
- Although, the reward for performing Umrah in Ramadan
is equal in reward to a Hajj. It is NOT a substitute
for Hajj.
