Download a PDF for your suitcase

Export as PDF and keep a copy in your luggage — useful for last-minute packing checks and offline reference during rituals.

Pro tip:Plan around your menstrual cycle before booking travel dates if possible. Women cannot perform Tawaf or Sa'i during menstruation or postnatal bleeding — though you may still enter the masjid and make dua. Speak with a knowledgeable scholar about your options if your cycle coincides with your trip.

What's included in this checklist

This umrah checklist for women is structured across 7 sections — giving you clear priorities at each stage without being overwhelmed by a single massive list. Here's what each section covers:

Planning & Booking

Start here 4–8 weeks before travel. Consider your travel dates carefully and confirm Mahram requirements if applicable to your visa.

Documents & Finances

Keep originals and copies of every document. Store digital backups in cloud storage accessible without roaming data.

Ihram Attire & Modest Clothing

Women enter Ihram in regular modest clothing — not the white sheets worn by men. Pack loose, comfortable outfits suitable for long walks and crowded spaces.

Health, Hygiene & Personal Care

Pack unscented products for Ihram days and plan personal care items thoughtfully. Long walking days demand comfortable, practical choices.

Spiritual Preparation

Prepare your heart before your body. Learn the rituals, study the duas, and travel with a clear intention.

Umrah Rituals (Step by Step)

Tick off each ritual as you complete it. Women perform Tawaf and Sa'i at a comfortable pace — there is no Idtiba or Ramal for women.

In Makkah & Madinah

Practical reminders for your stay in the holy cities — worship, safety, and making the most of your time.

Frequently asked questions

What should women wear for Umrah Ihram?

Women do not wear the white Ihram sheets that men wear. Instead, women enter Ihram in their normal modest clothing — typically a loose abaya or jilbab with a hijab. The face may remain uncovered (though some scholars permit covering the face in crowded areas without the intention of niqab). Clothing must be loose, opaque, and free of adornment. Avoid perfume and scented products from the moment you make your intention at the Miqat.

Can women perform Umrah during menstruation?

Women cannot perform Tawaf or Sa'i during menstruation (hayd) or postnatal bleeding (nifas). If your period begins after you have entered Ihram but before completing the rituals, you must wait until you are pure before performing Tawaf and Sa'i. You remain in Ihram until the rituals are complete. Consult a trusted scholar before your trip for guidance specific to your situation, as rulings on entering the masjid and making dua during this time can vary.

What are the Ihram restrictions for women?

While in Ihram, women must not: use perfume or scented products, wear niqab (face veil) or gloves (though covering the face with a loose cloth in crowds is permitted by many scholars), cut hair or nails, hunt, or engage in marital relations. Women may wear any modest stitched clothing, including coloured abayas, unlike men who wear only unstitched Ihram sheets.

What are the steps of Umrah for women?

Umrah for women follows the same four acts as for men: (1) Enter Ihram at the Miqat with intention and Talbiyah. (2) Perform Tawaf — seven circuits around the Kaaba (women do not perform Idtiba or Ramal). (3) Perform Sa'i — seven walks between Safa and Marwah (women may walk at their own pace). (4) Trim the hair — women cut a fingertip-length from their hair to exit Ihram. This template includes a dedicated rituals section to guide you through each step.
