Umrah and Hajj are both Islamic pilgrimages that are considered to be highly important and sacred in the Muslim faith. However, there are several key differences between the two that set them apart.
Firstly, Umrah can be performed at any time of the year, while Hajj is only performed during the Islamic month of Dhu al-Hijjah.
Difference
Secondly, Umrah is considered to be a non-mandatory pilgrimage, while Hajj is considered to be one of the Five Pillars of Islam and is mandatory for all able-bodied Muslims to perform at least once in their lifetime.
Thirdly, the rituals of Umrah are less complex and shorter in duration than those of Hajj. Umrah typically consists of a series of Tawaf (circumambulation) around the Kaaba and Sa’i (walking between Safa and Marwah) while Hajj is more detailed with additional rituals like standing at the plain of Arafat and throwing stones at the pillars in Mina.
Cost
Finally, the cost of Umrah is generally less than that of Hajj, as the latter requires more extensive planning and arrangements.
