Umrah is performed in five simple steps. First, a pilgrim enters the state of Ihram by making the intention (niyyah), wearing the prescribed لباس, and reciting the Talbiyah. Then, upon reaching Makkah, the pilgrim performs Tawaf by circling the Kaaba seven times in a counterclockwise direction, starting from the Black Stone. After Tawaf, the pilgrim performs Sa’i by walking seven times between the hills of Safa and Marwah, commemorating the struggle of Hajar. Finally, the pilgrim performs Halq (shaving the head) or Taqsir (trimming the hair), after which the Umrah is completed and the pilgrim exits the state of Ihram.
