Questions
What are the steps of Umrah?
Enter ihram before the miqat, perform tawaf of seven circuits around the Kaaba, pray two rakah behind Maqam Ibrahim and drink Zamzam, perform sa'i of seven lengths between Safa and Marwah, then complete with halq or taqsir. The rites take three to five hours.
Do I need to memorise duas for Umrah?
No. Beyond the niyat and the Talbiyah, nothing needs to be memorised. There is no prescribed supplication for the circuits of tawaf, personal supplication in your own language is valid throughout.
Which guide should I read first?
The first-time Umrah guide if you have not been before, since it covers the 90-day timeline and the order things must happen in. Then how to perform Umrah for the rites themselves.
