Performing Umrah is a sunnah. Umrah is a combnation of two rituals performed in sequence–Tawaaf and Saee. Tawaaf is the circumambulation of the holy Kabah 7 times and Saee needs 7 complete walks between Safa & Marwah. Umrah, as per ahaadees, can be performed throughout the year without any restriction. Prophet PBUH has classified Umrah as being virtuous though not obligatory. Performing Umrah brings following benefits –

• Expiates Sins

• Removes Poverty

• Equivalent to Jihaad i.e., To Struggle in the Path of ALLAH (SWT) (for the elderly, the young, the weak and, the women)

• Considered to be The Guest of ALLAH (SWT) during the trip
