1. Visit the e-portal, provided by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, to learn about the services, programs, and prices provided.
2. Consult with people who have already performed the Hajj ritual or trusted Hajj specialists and read the fatwas related to Hajj to better understand the requirements and processes.
3. Understand and determine the ritual of Hajj that you will perform from the following three rituals: Hajj Al-Tamattu, Hajj Al-Qiran and Hajj Al-Ifrad.

• Hajj Al-Tamattu: You begin performing Umrah during the months of Hajj (Shawaal, Dhul Qi’adah, Dhul Hijjah). You begin this ritual by purifying your intention and reciting “O Allah, here I am to perform Umrah” around the Ka’aba. Once completed, you enter the state of Ihram, separating your Umrah ritual from your Hajj ritual.
• Hajj Al-Qiran: You will combine the rituals of Hajj and Umrah by entering the state of Ihram with the intention to perform both and reciting "O Allah, here I am to perform Umrah and Hajj”, and begin the ritual of Hajj so that the ritual of Umrah will be included in it.
• Hajj Al-Ifrad: You will enter the state of Ihram with the intention to perform Hajj only, without intending to perform Umrah, by reciting “O Allah, here I am to perform Hajj”.
