What to do

Keep it simple

Complete the haircut

  • Men shave the head or trim the hair. Shaving carries greater reward.
  • Women trim about one inch from the ends of the hair.
  • After the haircut, your Umrah is complete and the Ihram restrictions end.

After Umrah

Use your remaining time for Salah, Qur'an, Dua, Dhikr and beneficial rest. Protect your health and energy, especially if Hajj is still ahead.
