Compulsory steps/ stages are only 4 Ihram, Tawaf, Sa’i, and Qasr respectively. So, following the sequence between 4 is necessary. Without it, Umrah can’t be done. Individual needs only 4 to 5 hours to complete it.

Ihram:
Ihram is insignia of Muslims during the performing of Hajj and Umrah. This insignia is separate for both men and women. For men, it consists of two unsewn white coloured sheets. Which men use to cover their body parts.
For women, there is no recommendation and selected dress. They can wear their daily and routine life dresses. But both genders should wear their Ihrams before crossing Meqats.
Meqats are places that have been pointed by Hadiths where people can wear their Ihrams after making Gusal and Wudu. There is no prohibition to wear Ihram at home & airports and during flights. So, individuals don’t need 2 to 3 hours for changing clothes. But most pilgrims choose Jeddah airport to perform Umrah because this airport distance is less than Madinah airport.1 to 1:30 hours need to reach Makkah from Jeddah by transport.
Tawaf:
This ritual is performed in the Al-Haram Mosque which is situated in Makkah city of Saudi Arabia. There is a single cubic shape building which stands between the mosque, as a prominently and is called Kaaba. Muslims complete the Tawaf by 7 times revolving around Kaaba. According to an estimate, individuals require 1 to 2 hours if the crowd is large there. Next, they offer two rakats Salah before Maqam e Ibrahim. Adana Boşanma Avukatı
Sa’i:
This 3rd ritual or step is also performed in that mosque. In this, Muslims walk back and forth 7 times between two mounts Safa and Marwa. Almost 1:30 to 2 hours are required to complete it.
Qasr:
Qasr means Halq and Taqsir. These are two different terms but the purpose behind this activity is to put off the Ihram clothes. Halq means completely shaved head and Taqsir means cut hair for short. There are many barbershops outside the mosque. So, a maximum of 5 to 10 minutes is required for this last ritual.
