Q: I would really like to know the exact and correct Hanafi method of performing Umrah in detail, i.e. from the very beginning till the end. (I do not require anything on hajj. Only the Umrah itself) Where to put on Ihraam, where to go from there, what are the duas, what intentions to make, how to make tawaaf, how to make sa'ee, what duas to recite during them, where to drink zam zam, how to make dua standing on safaa and marwa etc. I want to know everything in detail recommended for a Hanafi to carry out in Umrah. Also, I will be visiting Musjid-un-Nabawi and the blessed grave of Rasoolullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam). I would like to know the aadaab and etiquettes upon visiting them. Also the aadaab upon entering Madinah Munawwarah.
