Common Umrah Mistakes
- Passing the miqat without Ihram.
- Starting Tawaf away from the Black Stone line or miscounting circuits.
- Pushing to touch the Black Stone, which harms others for a sunnah.
- Praying in the mataf or walkways and blocking people.
- Starting Sa'i at Marwah or counting a return as an extra length.
- Cutting hair before Sa'i is complete.
- Treating invented duas or customs as obligatory.
- Relying on social media for rulings instead of a scholar.
- Unlicensed shortcuts such as informal "guides" who charge or mislead.
If you have made a mistake, ask a scholar promptly: remedies depend on the case.
