One who enters Mecca from outside, with any intention whatsoever, since
it is obligatory for him not to cross the Miqat without Ihram, therefore,
one who comes here will have to enter the state of Ihram either for any
of the kinds of Hajj or for Umra and then he will reach Mecca. In any
case, the first thing for him, after getting himself relieved of the arrangement
of his luggage, is so enter Masjid-e-Haram and perform Tawaf. But the
nature of Tawaf will, of course, differ in each case. It will be the Tawaf
of Umra for one who performs Hajj-e-Tamattu; for Mufrid it will be Tawaf-e-Qudom,
which is Sunnst and not Wajib. One who enters the Ihram of Qiran, he will
first perform Tawaf of Umra and Sa'i. Then he will perform Tawaf-e-Qudom
for Hajj.
