Ihram and miqat
How should one make the intention for a vowed umrah at the miqat, and which comes first between the obligatory umrah and the vowed umrah?
Answer in brief
The obligatory part of the umrah intention is the intention in the heart, while pronouncing it aloud and reciting the talbiyah are recommended. For a vowed umrah, the intention is expanded to mention that it is a vowed umrah, and for a child or dependant, the father or guardian makes the intention in the heart on their behalf. The Islamic (first obligatory) umrah is performed before the vowed umrah because its obligation is stronger. The vowed umrah can then be completed afterwards by going out to the area outside the sacred boundary (tanah halal) and making a new umrah intention, since umrah takes little time.

Oleh itu, keutamaan patut diberikan kepada umrah Islam terlebih dahulu. Kemudian, barulah selesaikan umrah nazar pula.
