The Umrah for ladies is the same as we have described in the previous chapters of our Umrah Guide.
The only differences are in the following matters.
- Ihram: Women’s Ihram is different from men, as I’ve already described.
- Tawaf: Women don’t do Ramal during Tawaf
- Saee: Women don’t run during Saee
In addition, here’s a piece of advice from my personal experience.
Mataf, the place where you perform Tawaf, is a crowded place. As a woman, you must be careful while putting yourself in large crowds because we should avoid the free mixing of men and women, even in Mataf.
So when it’s crowded, don’t push yourself in the crowd to reach Hajr e Aswad. Plus, try to stay with your male family members in Tawaf so that you can seek help if you’re stuck in the crowd.
Remember, Allah SWT knows our intentions and sees what we’re doing. Kissing the Black Stone is virtuous only when you don’t break any other laws of Shariah to do it.
But if you have to jump into a sea of men to touch it, it’s better not to do it at all. Your reward is with Allah SWT insha Allah.
The same applies to men as well. They should avoid body contact with women and stay away from them as much as possible during Tawaf.
Fear Allah, He’s watching.
