What Are the Differences between Hajj and `Umrah?

Having finished the types of Hajj in detail, it is now time to learn the difference between Hajj and Umrah. Well, Hajj and Umrah are both Islamic pilgrimages. The main difference is that Hajj is an obligatory pilgrimage for those who can afford it, whereas Umrah is the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

A pilgrim can perform Umrah rituals in hours, while the completion of Hajj takes days. Also, Hajj can only be performed in the month of Dhul-Hijjah, whereas Umrah can be performed throughout the year except for Hajj days.
