Umrah – Tawaf-ul-Qudum

Question:

Assalam-o-alaikum:

When going for Umrah, when you arrive Mecca, are you supposed to first do Tawaf-ul-Qudum, and then do Tawaf-ul-Umrah along with other steps of Umrah such as Sayee etc.? Or can you do Tawaf-ul-Qudum and then (instead of doing Tawaf-ul-Umrah) continue with the remaining steps of Umrah such as Sayee etc.?

Thanks for your clarification in this matter.

Jazak-Allah

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

After assuming Ihram with intention of performing Umrah, your next or second step is tawaf as part of your Umrah. This is by agreement of all the legal schools.
