The Arabic word ‘Umra’ has been derived from ‘i’timar’, which is defined as ‘a visit.’ In Islamic terminology, however, Umra refers to paying a visit to the Holy Ka’abah for the performance of the lesser pilgrimage in Makkah. It is an act of worship based on the teachings of Allah’s Prophet (Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam). As opposed to Hajj, the greater pilgrimage, which is performed during the specified days of Dhul Hijjah, Umra can be performed any time during the year. The Umra ritual comprises four basic pillar including Ihram, Tawwaf, Sa'i and Halq. We'll take a look at each of them in detail.
