Planning

Can I perform more than one Umrah on the same trip?

Yes. For each further Umrah you go out of the Haram boundary to the nearest point outside it, usually Masjid Aisha at Tan'im, enter ihram there and return to make tawaf and Sa'i.

How to make another Umrah

Go out of the Haram boundary to the nearest point outside it. Masjid Aisha at Tan'im is the closest and the most used. Enter ihram there and return to the Haram for tawaf and Sa'i.

A note from the scholars

Many scholars encourage those staying in Makkah to spend more of their time in voluntary tawaf rather than repeating Umrah many times.
