4. Stage 4: Halq or Taqsir
Umrah mainly consists of four significant rites. First of all, before the step of Miqat, you need to get changed into the Ihram garments. Then perform two Rakats of Salah and make your Niyyah (intention) when Miqat approaches while reciting Talbiyah frequently. Secondly, you will perform Tawaf-al-Umrah of the Kaaba, and then 2 Rakahs of Salah. One should prefer to perform these 2 Rakats near Maqam-e-Ibrahim. Thirdly, you will perform Sa’i of Safa and Marwah. Lastly, you complete your Umrah by shaving (Halq doing by men) your heads or clipping (Taqsir doing by women) your hair as this step allows you to leave the state of Ihram.
Specifically, there are 4 stages of Umrah:
Ihram
Tawaf-ul-Umrah
Sa’i
Halq or Taqsir
When you are ready to perform Umrah, first of all, before putting in your Ihram garments, be assured of your cleanliness and purity. After you clip your nails and remove the hair under your armpits and beneath the navel, do Ghusl. It is highly emphasized Sunnah for those who are intending to go into the state of Ihram as the first step before performing Umrah.
In case if you can’t do Ghusl, doing Wudhu will be adequate. Men may use Attar/Perfume to their heads/beards, making sure not to apply on the Ihram garments. This physical purity process should be performed at your residence before flying to Makkah (assuming you are flying).
