Our free guide to Umrah, from planning at home to your return: the documents and Nusuk, health and packing, Ihram and the Miqat, every rite step by step with diagrams, Madinah, the duas in transliteration with their meaning, and checklists for each stage. The rites as the schools agree, with a note wherever the Hanafi position differs.
A4, 72 pages, free to download and print. With it, a pocket guide to carry on the day: A6, 16 pages, the rites, the duas and the diagrams only, with short Hanafi notes. Both are general information prepared with care from GOV.UK, Nusuk, TravelHealthPro and established teaching on the rites, not a religious ruling: follow your scholar's guidance.
