The Order of the Rites of 'Umrah

The questioner:
This person is asking about the ruling on the order of the acts of 'Umrah.

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
The ruling on the order of the acts of 'Umrah, namely sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) and tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah).

The Shaykh:
Yes, 'Umrah consists of ihram (the consecrated state of pilgrimage), tawaf, and sa'y. These are the three pillars of 'Umrah. Ihram is performed from the miqat (the boundary at which ihram is entered) if one passes by it, or from the place where one intends to enter ihram to perform 'Umrah, unless one is already inside the Haram (the sacred precinct) and intends to perform 'Umrah; in that case, one must go out of the Haram and enter ihram from outside the Haram, then enter the Haram. When one arrives at the House, one performs tawaf with the intention of the tawaf of 'Umrah, then performs sa'y between al-Safa and al-Marwah, then shaves or shortens the hair. With this, one's 'Umrah is completed.
As for the marriage contract, if a man entered ihram for 'Umrah and did not complete it, or if there was a defect in it and it was not valid, then the marriage contract is not valid, because he is still in a state of ihram, so the marriage contract must be renewed from the beginning. Yes.
