Performing Umre from Taneem (Masjid Aisha) | IhramOS
Performing Umre from Taneem (Masjid Aisha)
Masjid Aisha at Taneem is the nearest miqat point for people already in Mekke who wish to perform an additional Umre. Located approximately 7.5 km from Mescid-i Haram, it is easily reached by taxi (10-15 minutes, 20-30 SAR). At the cami, perform gusul or abdest, wear ihram garments, make the niyyah for Umre, begin the Telbiye, then return to the Haram for tavaf, sa'i, and halq/taqsir.
1
Travel to Masjid Aisha (Taneem)
Take a taxi (10-15 minutes, approximately 20-30 SAR) or bus to Masjid Aisha at Taneem, located about 7.5 km northwest of Mescid-i Haram. This is the nearest miqat point for people already inside the Haram boundaries.
You must exit the Haram boundary to enter ihram for a new Umre.
Travel time increases during Hac season and weekends.
2
Perform Ghusl or Wudu at the Mosque
Masjid Aisha has washroom and ablution facilities. Perform gusul (preferred) or at minimum abdest. The cami is spacious and air-conditioned. Men should change into ihram garments here.
Facilities may be crowded during peak times.

Enter Ihram with Intention for Umre
What Are Common Mistakes to Avoid?
These are the most frequent errors pilgrims make during this stage of Umrah.
Trying to enter ihram for Umre from within Mekke without going to a miqat point.
Going to Taneem and returning without properly making the niyyah.
Not performing Say after tavaf.
Performing multiple Umres without allowing sufficient time for meaningful worship.
What Do Scholars Say?
Scholarly references supporting this guidance from established Islamic sources.
Make the intention for Umre: 'Labbayk Allahumma Umratan.' Begin reciting the Telbiye. All ihram restrictions are now in effect. Pray two rak'at of sunnah at the cami.
Once the niyyah is made, all ihram restrictions apply immediately.
Proceed to the Haram promptly.

Return to Mescid-i Haram
Take a taxi or bus back to Mescid-i Haram, reciting the Telbiye throughout. Upon entering the Haram, stop the Telbiye and proceed to begin tavaf.
Continue the Telbiye until you begin tavaf at the Hacer-ul Esved.
5
Perform Tavaf and Say
Perform the standard Umre: 7 circuits of tavaf (with idtiba and raml for men), pray 2 rak'at, drink Zamzam, then perform Say (7 laps between Safa and Marwa).
This is a complete, independent Umre — all components must be fulfilled.
6
Complete with Halq or Taqsir
After Say, shave (men) or trim (both) to exit ihram. Your Umre is complete and all ihram restrictions are lifted.
Each new Umre requires exiting the Haram boundary to enter ihram again.
