Umrah requires spiritual devotion. Muslims from around the world complete Umrah in Makah. Umrah packages Birmingham are offered by many organizations to help pilgrims. Because travellers rarely perform Umrah they often forget the directions to finish the ceremony to the spiritual markers. Thus below is a complete list of Umrah mistakes to avoid.
Umrah purpose
Since one cannot perform Umrah after entering Masjid-Al-Haram it must be scheduled in advance. The pilgrim must wear the Ihram and have clear intentions before entering Makah. Umrah goals might alter but not abruptly.
Keeping Ihram on
Changes to Ihram won't hurt it. Some think changing the Ihram white bedding negates it. The wearer can alter the Ihram anytime needed. As scheduled pilgrims break their Ihram after Umrah ceremonies including shaving or haircutting.
Chanting Dua group
Pilgrims shout dua to the group during Tawaf. Their leader recites numerous duas aloud and they circle him. It's unacceptable to confuse and upset other travellers with this loud prayer.
Tawaf for someone
Most people make this mistake. They give another Tawaf to a friend family member or deceased person after their own. Because Tawaf cannot perform for another it is false. Only Hajj and Umrah can be done for others.
Multiple Umrahs
Some people make the error of performing multiple Umrahs and returning to Masjid Ta'neem or other Meeqat to assume Ihram. This is against the Prophet Muhammad SAW way of life thus avoid it for more benefits.
To believe that doing 40 prayers in Makkah and Medina is required
Most people think Masjid e Nabawi and Masjid Al Haram require 40 prayers. It is honorable to worship as long as possible in the Prophet's Mosque in Medina but 40 prayers are not required.
Holding such a view is a common Umrah mistake
The Black Stone Distant Kiss
Kissing Hajr e Asawad is a delightful Sunnah but crowds prevent most pilgrims from getting close to the black stone. Because of this many kiss it from afar. Kissing at a distance is against the Sunnah thus amid a crowd kiss as closely as possible while being careful.
Kaaba Kiswa contact
No Hadith requires or recommends touching the Kaaba during Tawaf in Umrah for benefits. Our holy Prophet SAW only mentions touching the black stone and Yemeni corner in his hadith. The Sunnah of our beloved Holy Prophet SAW advises against meaningless activities during tawaf to finish it. The Saudi monarchy scented the Kiswa and other Kaaba sites therefore we should not use perfume on our Ihram.
Don't wear perfume
Ihram bans perfume. Allah forbade attracting people with smell. Since perfume is for Allah hajjis shouldn't use it in Ihram.
Sexual Behavior Prohibited During Umrah
In Ihram Hajjis cannot have sexual relations? Allah instructs husbands and wives to abstain from sexual activity.
Keep Hunting out of Umrah
Allah SWT forbids hunting in Ihram. Ihram prohibits animal cruelty. KAAFARA must be paid to avoid prohibition. Hunting or using animal blood is illegal.
Kissing or physical contact with a woman is forbidden
Kisses and other affection are considered sexual. Therefore no woman may be caressed hugged or kissed.
Don't use cosmetics:
Avoid self-beautification in Ihram. Allah SWT defines ihram as simplicity and cleanliness. Thus Ihram prohibits excessive cosmetic use.
Killing insects is forbidden:
Killing insects is prohibited everywhere even your body. You can eliminate it but not kill it. UK Umrah December package is available.
