Umrah is a Sunnah Ibadah of Holy Prophet (SAWW). For which, it’s not obligatory on anyone but advised to follow-up its performance. Since Umrah is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many Muslims, people aren’t that familiar with umrah rituals, prohibitions, precautions, and obligations. Despite that, millions of people travel through the best umrah packages at a time, consequently maximizing the crowd in Haram. In such a scenario, mistakes and inconveniences can occur. So, if you are travelling for Umrah for the first time and want to avoid common mistakes, here’s a brief description for you.
Changing the Intention of Umrah. Making Niyyah (intention) for Umrah is an essential part of its performance. In Islam, every deed done remains evaluated on the type of Niyyah intended for it. Since there are multiple types of umrah, one is allowed to change the intention of the type of Umrah to perform before assuming the state of Ihram. Even if a person wants to change Umrah's intention after assuming ihram, he/she can change from Mufradah to Tamattu but not vice versa. Not replacing Ihram clothes when they get dirty. Ihram is not limited to clothing for pilgrimage but it’s a concept of being in the state of purity. Yet, many people confuse the ‘State of Ihram’ with the ‘clothing of Ihram’. Thinking that changing sheets of Ihram will make their umrah invalid. However, the notion is completely false. People are allowed to change ihram sheets/clothing if they get dirty or even when a person wants to, it won’t have any effect on Umrah. Touching, Wiping over different parts of Masjid-al-Haram. No doubt, Masjid-al-Haram is the most sacred place on earth but one should avoid touching or wiping on different parts of it including Holy Kaabah. Hazrat Muhammad (SAWW) never touched any part of the Holy Kaaba except the Black stone and Yemeni corner. Kissing the Hajar-e-Aswad. Kissing the Hajar-e-Aswad is a Sunnah of our Prophet (SAWW). He (SAWW) kissed the Hajar-e-Aswad physically when there was sufficient space available. On the other hand, if the crowd was huge, Hazrat Muhammad (SAWW) would only gesture towards it from distance. Today, the place around Hajar-e-Aswad is always crowded. Thus, if you are close enough to kiss it, you must do so. On the other hand, if you are at distance, you should gesture towards it and avoid stopping in the middle of Tawaf for ‘Distance Kissing’. Praying/Making Dua in Unison. Some people/groups in haram, pray Dua in unison. However, it’s not a good thing to do. It can disturb others and their prayers. Hazrat Muhammad (SAWW) narrated about it that; (description) Each one of you is conversing with Allah Almighty; So, neither disturb one another nor raise your voices over one another when reading or when praying. So, if you are travelling for a minor pilgrimage through VIP Ramadan Umrah package 2020, or even economy ones, try to avoid these mistakes and make your Umrah safe and proper for yourself and for others as well. |
