About Hajj & Umrah
Hajj and Umrah are two important rituals in Islam. Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam, and every able Muslim must perform it once in his or her lifetime. Hajj takes place during the months of Hajj (Shawwal, Dhul-Qadah, and the days of Dhul-Hijjah) and includes a set of rituals performed in the holy city of Mecca.

It can be performed at any time of the year, and includes circling the Kaaba and walking between Safa and Marwah.
