Umrah
Rituals of
`Umrah
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. A performer of `Umrah puts off his Ihram by having his
hair shaved or cut.
