‘Umrah is the lesser pilgrimage and it is derived from al-I‘ttimar
which means “the visit” where al-Mu‘ttamer assumes Ihram from the
Miqat, performs the Tawaf of al-‘Umrah then performs Sa‘y and
releases his state of Ihram either by hair shaving or hair
shortening.
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) narrated that
Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said: “The
‘Umrah to the following ‘Umrah is an atonement for what is between
them, and the accepted Hajj is not rewarded except by paradise”.
Jaber (May Allah be pleased with him)
narrated that Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said: “The
pilgrims and those performing ‘Umrah are the delegation of Allah,
when they beseech Him He will grant them their quest, and when they
seek His forgiveness, He will forgive them”.
| He who wants to perform another ‘Umrah he should go out to
Al-Tan‘eem (the Mosque of lady ‘Aisha may Allah be pleased with
her) for Ihram then return to Makkah to perform Tawaf and Sa‘y. |
