Hajj and `Umrah
Hajj type
| Tamattu' Hajj |
| Tamattu` means performing `Umrah
during the Hajj season, and on the Day of Tarwiah a pilgrim gets into the
state of Ihram for Hajj. Anyone intending to perform a Tamattu`` Hajj should
on approaching the Miqat make intention for `Umrah. After fulfilling the
Hajj rituals, one should offer a sacrificial animal. |
| Qiran Hajj |
| In this type of Hajj, a pilgrim
should declare his intention to perform both Hajj and `Umrah together. Only
when he throws the Jamrah of Al-`Aqabah, gets his hair shaved or cut that
he can put off his Ihram. However, he should offer a sacrificial animal. |
| Ifrad Hajj |
| In the Miqat, a pilgrim of Ifrad
Hajj declares his intention for Hajj only. He maintains his Ihram up to
the Day of Sacrifice. No offering is required from him. |
Umrah
Rituals
of `Umrah
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.
