Umrah and Hajj are both the greatest worships of Islam. The Hajj is the 5th pillar of Islam, and Umrah is the greatest Sunnah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H). Undoubtedly, every Muslim wants to perform Umrah as soon as possible and as much as possible. But knowing the do and don’ts is also essential to get a reward for this worship. Many people are not informed enough about their mistakes during Umrah and Hajj. So having complete information about these worships is very vital. This is a holy place for Muslims worldwide. Everyone dreams of visiting at least one time in his life to pure his soul. If you want to fly to this sacred place, you can get cheap Umrah packages and flights to perform this worship.
This article is about educating the pilgrims about their mistakes in performing Umrah and Hajj. So, let’s begin:
- As we all know, the Black Stone is the stone that came from Jannah, so it is without a doubt the greatest desire of every Muslim man and woman to touch or kiss it. However, pilgrims are forbidden to hit or force others to kiss the Black Stone. Islam forbids such actions if it is possible for someone else to suffer harm or injury. According to the Prophet’s Sunnah, you can perform the act from a distance by merely pointing your hands in its direction and reciting Allahu Akbar if you are in a hurry and cannot touch or kiss it.
- Another extremely typical error pilgrims make when they ascend the Safa and Marwah is to face the Kabah and waggle their hands in its direction while uttering Allahu Akbar as if they were reciting the Takbir for Salah. It is false; our Prophet S.A.W. only extended His P.B.U.H. palms in supplication. Replicating Zikr here and facing the Kabah while praising and magnifying your Lord is preferable.
- Although it is not supported by the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) or His companions’ Sunnah to utter the Talbiyah or make intentions in unison, most visitors making the Umrah commit the same error. The traditional and proper manner is for pilgrims to speak the Talbiyah aloud. Men are supposed to raise their voices during Talbiyah. However, some male pilgrims choose to whisper instead, which is improper as ladies are supposed to maintain a quiet voice.
- Another extremely typical error pilgrims make when they ascend the Safa and Marwah is to face the Kabah and waggle their hands in its direction while uttering Allahu Akbar as if they were reciting the Takbir for Salah.

- The Sunnah does not support the practice of reciting various supplications throughout each circuit of the Tawaf. When he arrived at the Black Stone, our beloved Prophet P.B.U.H. did not specify any specific prayer besides Allahu Akbar. After each round, the P.B.U.H. speak the verses below between the Yamani corner and the Black Stone.
- A huge crowd surrounds you in Allah’s house; you must also look out for others. Avoid engaging in such behaviour when performing Hajj or Umrah.
- When trying to get to the Kabah or returning to their location, many people commit a severe sin by walking in front of someone praying. It is especially true when they don’t realise they are doing it.
- Some individuals make dua during Tawaf while shouting as a group. They follow an imam or other leader who recites the various prayers, and they all echo after him while collectively yelling. It makes many people confused, interferes with their prayers, causes them to lose focus, and prevents them from having adequate. Of course, shouting and raising one’s voice at a site as holy as Haram is likewise improper.
- During any Makruh hour, such as the time of Zawaal, some people offer the Tawaf Salah. The fact that the person performing this Salah during one of the three well-known Makruh times won’t be released from it should never be in doubt. To offer it once more in one’s nation when it is not Makruh time, one must return home.
- Some people attempt to touch any portion of the Ka’bah or Maqaam Ibrahim in the mistaken belief that it contains blessings or barakah. They may also feel or wipe their hands on various areas of Masjid al-Haraam or Masjid an-Nabawi, then wipe themselves, believing that this is beneficial or will bring them blessings. However, yet another act has no support in Islamic Shari’ah. Except for the Black Stone and the Yemeni Corner, the Prophet (P.B.U.H) did not touch other parts of the Kaaba.
However, these are common mistakes that many pilgrims make unintentionally. But, the purpose of this article is to guide the pilgrims about these common errors so they can avoid such mistakes during Umrah and Hajj. May Allah S.W.T. accept all of your sincere prayers and worship. Ameen
