	Hajj and `Umrah
		Tamattu` means performing `Umrah during the Hajj season, and on the Day of Tarwiah a pilgrim gets into the state of Ihram for Hajj.
		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.

	Umrah - How to Perform - ContactPakistan.com
		Umrah is often referred to as the "little pilgrimage", and while the Hajj is compulsory, the umrah is not.
		The umrah, which is a strong symbol of Muslim piety, is a highly individual ritual, as there is practically nothing of its acts that requires the presence of other people.
		For the umrah there are two possible niyas, either he / she could be doing only the umrah, or he / she could be doing both.

	Manasik-e- Hajj :: Introduction
		So `Umrah is a part of Hajj al-tamattu` and called `Umrat al-tamattu` and the Hijjah is the second part and both must be performed in the same year.
		Like Hajj, it is mustahabb to repeat `Umrah and it is not a condition to separate them by a certain period, although, based on ihtiyat, a one month delay in between is better if both `Umrahs were for himself.
		Thus, if the second `Umrah is for niyabah, the na'ib is allowed to take the wage for it and is valid in the place of the wajib `Umrah al-mufradah.

	Umrah Guide
		Umrah is a great act of worship that is obligatory upon every Muslim once in his life.
		Umrah can be performed at anytime of the year (although umrah visas are issued from Rabi al-Awwal to Ramadan only) and usually takes about 3 hours to perform under normal circumstances.
		Umrah during Ramadan is an extra sprecial experience, as there is a unique atmosphere in the haramayn, particularly at iftar time and during tarawih and qiyam prayers.

		Therefore, she went with them to the Umrah and performed all of the rites of the Umrah, including the circumambulation and the circuits, as if she was not menstruating.
		She must perform a new umrah from the same miqaat that she entered the ihram from previously, in replacement of her spoiled umrah.
		But if she simply performed the Umrah with them out of courtesy and bashfulness and she did not [actually and intentionally] enter the state of ihram from the miqaat, then the only thing upon her is to repent to Allah.

	Hajj - The Islamic Pilgrimage
		The `Umrah is of two kinds: the first which is performed independently of the Hajj (called al‑`Umrat al‑mufradah al‑mustaqillah `an al‑Hajj), and the second kind which is performed in conjunction with the Hajj (al‑`Umrat al‑mundammah ila al‑Hajj).
		The al‑`Umrat al‑mufradah, the independent `Umrah, all the five legal schools agree, can be performed at all times of the year, though it is meritorious to perform it during the month of Rajab according to the Imamiyyah, and in Ramadan according to the four Sunni schools.
		The time of the conjugate `Umrah, which is performed before the Hajj and in the course of the same journey by the Hujjaj coming to the Holy Makkah from distant countries, by consensus of all five schools, extends from Shawwal to Dhul Hijjah.

		The outer physical rites of 'Umrah cannot in themselves erase misdeeds, for such rites devoid of the true spirit of 'Umrah are futile physical exercises and 'Umrah becomes a virtual picnic or sight-seeing tour.
		It is the spiritual awakening which is generated by the performance of the rites of 'Umrah with the right intentions which has this powerful effect of canceling errors.
		However, it should be noted that the sins erased by 'Umrah are the minor ones only, and it then becomes up to the individual to erase his or her major sins by sincere repentance and righteous deeds.

	The Rituals of Hajj and ‘Umrah
		Viewed thus, the Ihram worn in Hajj and ‘Umrah symbolizes the fact that a believer has withdrawn from the amusement, attractions and involvements of this world and like a monk wearing two unstitched robes, bare-headed and to some extent bare-footed too has resolved to reach the presence of the Almighty.
		The objective of Hajj and Umrah is the same as its essence and reality viz acknowledgement of the blessings of the Almighty, affirmation of His Tawhid and a reminder of the fact that after embracing accepting Islam we have devoted and dedicated ourselves to Him.
		Then in peacetime anyone among you who benefits from the ‘Umrah till the time of Hajj arrives, he should sacrifice any animal that is available; and if it is not available, he should fast for three days during the Hajj and seven when he has returned.

	The Pilgrim’s Guide to the Ka`bah - ‘Umrah
		‘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.
		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.

	Hajj - Understanding the worship of Hajj and Umrah in Islam
		When the pilgrim reaches Makkah he performs tawaaf al-qudoom (tawaaf of arrival) and saa’i for Hajj, but he does not shave or cut his hair and does not exit ihraam, rather he remains in ihraam until he exits ihraam after stoning Jamarat al-‘Aqabah on the day of Eid.
		With these actions, the ‘Umrah of the one who is doing Tamattu’ is concluded, after which he should exit ihraam completely and do everything that those who are not in ihraam do, such as wearing regular clothes, wearing perfume, having intercourse with their wives, etc.
		Those who are doing Ifraad or Qiraan should not shave their heads or cut their hair, or exit ihraam, rather they should remain in ihraam until they exit ihraam on the day of Eid, after stoning Jamarat al-‘Aqabah and shaving their heads or cutting their hair.
