حج — عمرہ — رہنما

حج Tamattu is the most مستحب type: perform a complete عمرہ first upon arrival, exit احرام, enjoy normal life, then enter احرام again for حج on the 8th of Dhul Hijjah. The sequence: arrive at miqat, احرام for عمرہ, طواف + sa'i + halq, exit احرام, free period, احرام for حج on 8th, then all حج rituals. A sacrifice (hady) is required.

1
Enter احرام for عمرہ at the Miqat
At or before the miqat, enter احرام with the intention for عمرہ: 'Labbayk Allahumma Umratan.' This is the key distinction of Tamattu — you enter for عمرہ first, NOT حج. Begin the تلبیہ and proceed to مکہ مکرمہ.
- Make the intention for UMRAH specifically, not حج.
- Do not pass the miqat without entering احرام.
2
Perform عمرہ in مکہ مکرمہ
Perform a complete عمرہ: stop تلبیہ upon reaching the Haram, perform طواف (7 circuits with idtiba and raml for men), pray 2 rak'at, drink زمزم, perform سعی (7 laps), then halq or taqsir. After hair cutting, you exit احرام completely.
- All عمرہ components must be completed.
- Once you exit احرام, ALL restrictions are lifted.
