Umrah Tips

Assalamu’alaikum,

Alhamdulillah, all praise be to Allah that made me finally able to perform Umrah with my mom and sister last April. We weren’t aware about the preparation, about what we are going to face or what are we going to do there in the House of Allah. We’re completely clueless. So, here I’m going to share some of my tips during Umrah for you who will be performing Umrah or Hajj (Aamiin yra.) with my deepest intention only to make you all of my sisters and brothers be fully prepared inshaAllah :)

  1. Document Preparation
    • Passport
    • Umrah Schedule
    • Name Tag
  2. Drugs and Medicine
    • Primolut N, can be used for postponing the period. This contains a medication called as norethisterone. You need 5 mg (one tablet) three times per day starting about 7 days before your period. People commonly use this medicine during the Hajj or Umrah because the want to be pure and actively engaged in religious duties especially the main rite, tawaaf. Plus the fact that many women save for going to Makka to perform Hajj/Umra, so they don’t want their rite tobe ruined because of the period. But the arguments about the usage of this medicine in Islam is still a contradictaryamong the Scholars.

    Za energy water

    I bought a bottle of this energy water for IDR 125K and then buy 2 smaller bottles like this one below, and then split it with my sister. You can use this method to save more for something else :D

    You won’t use this water as often as you are in UEA once you’re back in Indonesia.

  5. Salah and Supplication book
    Tafseer, Du'a and Salah Books
