Masjid Aisha at Taneem is the nearest miqat point for people already in مکہ مکرمہ who wish to perform an additional عمرہ. Located approximately 7.5 km from مسجد الحرام, it is easily reached by taxi (10-15 minutes, 20-30 SAR). At the مسجد, perform غسل or وضو, wear احرام garments, make the niyyah for عمرہ, begin the تلبیہ, then return to the Haram for طواف, sa'i, and halq/taqsir.

Enter احرام with Intention for عمرہ
What Are Common Mistakes to Avoid?
These are the most frequent errors pilgrims make during this stage of Umrah.
Trying to enter احرام for عمرہ from within مکہ مکرمہ without going to a miqat point.
Going to Taneem and returning without properly making the niyyah.
Not performing سعی after طواف.
Performing multiple عمرہs without allowing sufficient time for meaningful worship.
What Do Scholars Say?
Scholarly references supporting this guidance from established Islamic sources.
Make the intention for عمرہ: 'Labbayk Allahumma Umratan.' Begin reciting the تلبیہ. All احرام restrictions are now in effect. Pray two rak'at of sunnah at the مسجد.
Once the niyyah is made, all احرام restrictions apply immediately.
Proceed to the Haram promptly.
4
Return to مسجد الحرام
Take a taxi or bus back to مسجد الحرام, reciting the تلبیہ throughout. Upon entering the Haram, stop the تلبیہ and proceed to begin طواف.
Continue the تلبیہ until you begin طواف at the حجر اسود.
5
Perform طواف and سعی
Perform the standard عمرہ: 7 circuits of طواف (with idtiba and raml for men), pray 2 rak'at, drink زمزم, then perform سعی (7 laps between Safa and Marwa).
This is a complete, independent عمرہ — all components must be fulfilled.
6
Complete with Halq or Taqsir
After سعی, shave (men) or trim (both) to exit احرام. Your عمرہ is complete and all احرام restrictions are lifted.
Each new عمرہ requires exiting the Haram boundary to enter احرام again.
