In Islam, the Umrah is a Sunnah, which means it is not a mandatory trip. In order to do the rites, Muslims from all over the world come to the holy region and purchase [**December Umrah Packages From UK**](https://www.baitullahtravel.co.uk/december-umrah-packages.html) that include everything they need to perform the journey. Due to the fact that Umrah is an opportunity that the majority of pilgrims only get to experience once in their lifetime, many people are unaware of the particulars associated with this pilgrimage journey.

Now, let's take a quick look at the many sorts of umrah, their distinctions, as well as the norms and principles that govern them.

Types of umrah.
There are two different kinds of umrah that you can conduct according to Islamic law. That is to say;

The Umrah-ul-Mufradah, which is a voluntary pilgrimage that can be performed at any time of the year.

Umrah-al-Tammatu, which is undertaken in conjunction with the mandatory pilgrimage associated with the Hajj.

**Umrah-ul-Mufradah:**

The Umrah-ul-Mufradah, also known as the autonomous or voluntary pilgrimage, is something that a pilgrim can perform at any time of the year and according to his or her own freedom. When it comes to this particular matter, however, the days of hajj are not included. It is recommended that Christians who are financially, physically, and mentally capable of making an offering do so, even if it is not something that is required.

Despite the fact that Umrah-ul-Mufradah is conducted at any time of the year, the busiest times for holy rituals are during the month of Ramadan and during the winter months.
Procedure.
In order to carry out the religious rites associated with Umrah al-Mufradah or

Before you pass the Meeqat line, you must go through the process of becoming Ihram.

Once you have entered Ihram and have arrived to Masjid Al-Haram, perform Wudu (if it is required) and then proceed to perform the Tawaf of Holy Kaabah. The location of Hajar-al-Aswad serves as both the starting and ending point for each of the seven rounds that are performed in an anticlockwise direction.

When you have finished praying your Tawaf, proceed to the Maqam-e-Ibrahim and pray two Rakat Salat-al-Tawaf located in close proximity to it. Drink some Zamzam water after that.

The next rite is to present the Sai of Safah and Marwah hills, both of which are located inside the precincts of the Grand Mosque of Makkah. The first round begins at Safa, and the seventh round concludes at Marwah. This involves walking or running seven times between Mount Safa and Marwa, with the first round beginning at Safa and the seventh round at Marwah.

Performing the acts of Halq (which means shaving the head for men) or Taqsir (which means clipping the hair for women) is one of the final rites that are performed during Umrah ul Mufradah.

**Rules of Umrah-ul-Mufradah:**

• The Umrah-al-Mufradah is a pilgrimage that is performed on a voluntary basis and must be performed by an individual pilgrim.

• If a pilgrim wishes to conduct Umrah-al-Mufradah during the month of Dhul-Hijjah, they should do it prior to the beginning of Umrah-al-Tammatu rather than after it has already begun.

• The Umrah-al-Mufradah can also be called the Umrah-al-Tammatu if you are remaining in Makkah until the eighth of the month of Dhul-Hijjah. Nevertheless, the obligatory sacrifice of an animal is necessary.
• The primary rituals of Umrah-al-Mufradah consist of the following:

o Assuming Ihram from Meeqat.

o Tawaf of holy Kaabah and Namaz-e-Tawaf.

o Sayee of Safah and Marwah hills.

o Taqseer.

o Tawaf-un-Nisa, and Nawaz-e-Tawaf-un-Nisa.

**Umrah-al-Tammatu:**

The Umrah that is conducted in conjunction with the Hajj trip is known as the Umrah-al-Tammatu. For this reason, the window of opportunity for its permanence is limited to the days of Shawwal, Dhul Qadah, and Dhul-Hijjah combined. Ramadan is also considered an excellent month for the Umrah Pilgrimage. Umrah in the month of Ramadan is equivalent to the Hajj pilgrimage, that’s why [**Last 10 Days Ramadan Umrah Packages**](https://www.baitullahtravel.co.uk/ramadan-umrah-packages.html) are most booked Umrah Packages from the Baitullah Travel. You can also book the Ramadan Umrah Package from us using our website. You can also get the many benefits by performing the Umrah in the month of Ramadan. It is the eighth day of the month of Hijjah that is the final day that you are able to perform Umrah-al-Tammatu, which is the day when the Hajj ritual begins.

While performing the required Hajj pilgrimage, Umrah-al-Tammatu can only be undertaken in a company with other pilgrims who are also performing the journey.

**Procedure:**
The rituals that are conducted during Umrah-al-Tammatu are nearly identical to those that are performed during Umrah-al-Mufradah. Take, for example:

Assuming Ihram from Meeqat.
Performing tawaf of the Holy Kaabah.
Sayee of Safah and Marwah.
Halq/Taqsir.

This sort of Umrah, on the other hand, is performed in groups and in combination with the hajj pilgrimage. This is the primary distinction between Umrah-al-Tammatu and Umrah-al-Mufradah.

As another distinction between Umrah-al-Mufradah and Umrah-al-Tammatu, it is important to note that pilgrims who are doing Umrah-al-Tammatu should only perform Taqsir, which is the clipping of hair, rather than Halq, which is the act of shaving. This is because shaving is a vital part of the Hajj ritual.

**Rules of Umrah-al-Tammatu.**
• As was said before, the Umrah-al-Tammatu is undertaken in conjunction with the Hajj pilgrimage. Therefore, it ought to be carried out in a company with other pilgrims who are performing the Hajj.

• For those who are performing the Hajj, it is required that they undertake Umrah-al-Tammatu during the Hajj days, which are any time during the months of Dhul-Hijjah, Dhul Qadah, and Shawwal.

• Once a pilgrim has finished performing Umrah-al-Tammatu, they are not permitted to leave Makkah until the Hajj rituals have been finished.

• It is not obligatory to do Umrah-al-Tammatu for pilgrims who are arriving in Makkah for the purpose of performing voluntary Umrah, nor is it required for residents of Makkah.

• Taqsir, which means cutting hair, can be substituted for Halq, which means shaving, in Umrah-al-Tammatu for men. This is due to the fact that shaving is required to be done after the performance of Hajj rituals, which is after the sacrifice.

These are the two distinct kinds of Umrah that you have the option of selecting from when you travel with Baitullah Travel.
