Important Rules

  • You must enter Ihram (Niyyah and talbiyah) before or precisely at the Meeqat.
  • If you cross the Meeqat without Ihram while intending Umrah, you must return to the Meeqat to assume Ihram, or pay a penalty (Dam).
  • For those flying into Jeddah: The plane often crosses the Meeqat in the air. You should wear your Ihram garments before boarding and arrange a professional Umrah transport hub trip to ensure you reach the Haram without delay.
