What does UMRAH mean in Scrabble?
noun
A pilgrimage to Mecca that Muslims may perform at any time of the year, distinct from the obligatory hajj.
Unlike the hajj, the umrah is not required of every Muslim and is not tied to a single month of the lunar calendar, so it can be undertaken whenever a pilgrim is able to travel. It involves a shorter set of rituals within the city, and a pilgrim may perform it on its own or combine it with the hajj in the same journey. Because it carries no fixed date, far more people are able to make an umrah than can join the crowded hajj season each year. The word is also spelled umra in some English texts.
