The process of tahallul in the context of Umrah is an important stage that marks a pilgrim’s exit from the state of ihram. After completing seven circuits of tawaf around the Ka'bah and performing sa’ie by walking back and forth seven times between the hills of Safa and Marwa, the pilgrim proceeds with the tahallul by cutting or shaving part of the hair.

This act of cutting hair signifies that the prohibitions of ihram—such as not cutting hair, not wearing perfume, or (for men) not wearing regular clothes—have ended, and the pilgrim is now permitted to resume these activities. Thus, tahallul marks the completion of Umrah worship and the pilgrim’s exit from the state of ihram, allowing them to continue normal activities without the previous restrictions of ihram. Tahallul Umrah is the state of a person after fulfilling all the pillars of Umrah, and because of that, they are permitted to do things that were previously forbidden during ihram.
