Unlike Hajj, which has set dates, Umrah is a pilgrimage to Mecca that can be made at any time of the year. While not required, it is frequently referred to as the “lesser pilgrimage” and has significant spiritual value for Muslims. The procedures of Umrah include clipping or shaving hair as well as Tawaf (circumambulation) around the Kaaba and Sa’i (walking) between the hills of Safa and Marwah. Muslims have the chance to seek blessings, pardon, and spiritual purification. Muslims of various ages can conduct umrah, and it is a very introspective and religious experience.
