Description of �Umrah

1- When the pilgrim intending �Umrah arrives at the Meeqaat, he takes the ritual bath, applies scent and then puts on the Ihram garment. Then he makes the intention for �Umrah by saying; �Labbayka �Umrah�.2- He proceeds, saying the Talbiyah;
�Labbayka Allahumma labbayka. Labbayka la shareeka Laka labbayka. Innal hamda wan ni�mata Laka wal Mulk, la shareeka Lak.�
[ Source: Bukhari.] He continues to say the Talbiyah until he sees the House (the Ka�bah) and reaches the Black Stone.3- He enters the Haram Mosque, starting with his right foot and saying the supplication for entering the Mosque.4- He terminates his talbiyah and starts circumambulating the House, beginning from the Black Stone by touching and kissing it - if possible - otherwise he just points to it.5- He puts the House to his left and circumambulates seven times completely, starting from the Black Stone and ending with it.6- It is sunnah to perform Ramal in the first three rounds, which is to walk quickly with short steps without bouncing. It is also sunnah to perform Idtiba� while he is making Tawaaf and that is by exposing his right arm, putting his garment underneath it and placing the tail of the garment on his left shoulder.7- He supplicates during the circumambulation as he desires. When he is aligned with the Yemeni corner, he touches it and says �Allahu akbar�, and if he is not able to touch it, he does not point at it or say �Allahu Akbar�. When between the Yemeni corner and the Black Stone, he says:
�Rabbanaa aatina fid dunya hasanatan wa fil aakhirati hasanatan wa qina athaban naar.�
[ Source : Abu Dawud.]Meaning: Our Lord! Give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and save us from the torment of the fire.
