Preface
Praise
be
to Allah, Lord of the Universe. May peace and blessings be upon
Muhammad,
the last of the prophets and messengers, and upon his family
and
esteemed companions. Hajj is one of the best forms of worship and
is
one of the most sublime deeds because it is one of the pillars of
Islam
that Allah sent Muhammad-may the peace and blessings of Allah be
upon
him-with. A servant's religion is incomplete without it. A form of
worship
is only acceptable when the following is true.
 | One devotes it to Allah alone, with a desire for the Hereafter. It cannot be done with the intention of being seen among people or for worldly gain. |
| One follows the Prophet's example, in words and deeds. This cannot be accomplished except by gaining knowledge of the Sunnah. |
Forms of Pilgrimage
There are three forms
of Hajj: Tamattu', Ifraad and Qiran.
| Tamattu': A pilgrim wears Ihram for Umrah only during the months of Hajj, which means when a pilgrim reaches Makkah, he/she makes Tawaf and Sa'yi for Umrah. Then shaves or clips the hair. On the day of Tarwiya, which is the eighth of Dhul-Hijja, a pilgrim puts on his Ihram for Hajj only and carries out all of its requirements. |
| Ifraad: A pilgrim wears Ihram for Hajj only. When he reaches Makkah, he performs Tawaf for his arrival and Sa'yi for Hajj. He doesn't shave or clip his hair as he doesn't disengage from Ihram. Instead, he remains in Ihram till after he stones Jamrah Al-Aqaba on the Eid day. It is permissible for him to postpone his Sa'yi for Hajj until after his Tawaf for Hajj. |
| Qiran: A pilgrim wears Ihram for both Umrah and Hajj or he wears Ihram first for Umrah, then makes intentions for Hajj before his Tawaf for Hajj. The obligations on one performing Ifraad are the same as those on one performing Qiran, except that the latter must slaughter whereas the former is not obligated to do so. The best of the three forms is Tamattu'. It is the form that the prophet-may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him encouraged his followers to perform. |
if a pilgrim makes intentions to
perform Qiran or Ifraad he is allowed
to change his intentions to
Tamattu'; he can do this even after he has
performed Tawaf and Sa'yi.
When
the Prophet - may the peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him-
performed Tawaf and Sa'yi during the
year of the Farewell Hajj with his
companions, he ordered all those
who hadn't brought sacrificial animals
to change their intentions for
Hajj to intentions for Umrah. cut their
hair, and disengage from
Ihram till Hajj. He said, " If I hadn't
brought the sacrificial
animal, I'd have done what I've ordered you to
do."
The Umrah
If
a pilgrim wishes to be
ritually pure for Umrah, he should shed his
clothing and bathe as he
would after sexual defilement, if convenient.
He should perfume his
head and beard with the best oil he can find.
There is no harm in
what remains of it after Ihram.
Bathing
for Ihram is Sunnah for both men and women,
including menstruating
women and those experiencing postnatal
bleeding. After bathing and
preparing himself, a. pilgrim, other than
those menstruating or
experiencing post- natal bleeding, prays the
obligatory prayer, if it
is time. Otherwise, he makes his intention
by praying the two Sunnah
Rakass whichare made each time Wudhu is
performed.
When
he
finishes his prayer he should say: "Here I am for Umrah--here I am,
Oh
Allah, here I am. Here I am. You have no partner. Here I am. Surely
all
praise, grace and dominion is yours, and you have no
partner."
[Talbeeyah]. A man raises his voice when saying this and a woman says it
so that only one beside her may hear her.
One
in Ihram should say the Talbeeyah as often
as possible, especially when
times and places change. For example:
when descending or ascending
during travel or when day or night
approach. He should also ask Allah
for His pleasure, for Heaven and
seek refuge in Allah's mercy from
Hellfire.
One
should say the Talbeeyah during
Umrah, starting from the time he puts
on his Ihram till he starts
Tawaf. During Hajj he should say it
starting from the time he puts on
his Ihram till he starts to stone
Jamrah
Al- Aqaba on the Eid
day.
When
a pilgrim
enters the Holy Mosque he puts forth his right foot first and
says:
"In the name of Allah, may peace and blessings be upon the
Messenger
of Allah. Oh Allah, forgive me my sins and open to me the
doors of
Your mercy. I seek refuge in Allah the Almighty and in His
Eminent
Face and in His Eternal Dominion from the accursed Satan." He
approaches
the Black Stone, touches it with his right hand and kisses
it. If
this isn't possible, he should face the Black Stone and point to
it.
It is best not to push and shove, causing harm and being harmed by
other
people.
When
touching
the Stone, a pilgrim should say the following: "In the name of
Allah,
Allah is the greatest. Oh, Allah, with faith in you, belief in
Your
book, loyalty to you, compliance to the way of your Prophet
Muhammad--may
the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him."
A
pilgrim must walk, keeping the
Ka'bah on his left. When he reaches the
Rukn Al Yamani he should
touch, but not kiss it, and say: " Our Lord,
grant us good in this
life and good in the hereafter and save us from
the punishment of the
Hell-fire. Oh Allah, I beg of You for forgiveness
and health in this
life and in the Hereafter." Each time he passes the
Black Stone he
should say: "Allah is the Greatest."
During
the remainder of his Tawaf he may say what he
pleases of supplications,
mentioning Allah, and recitation of Quran.
This is because Tawaf,
Sa'yi, and Stoning the Jamrah have been
devised for the purpose of
mentioning Allah. During this Tawaf it is
necessary for a man to do two
things:
| Al-ldhtebaa' from the beginning of Tawaf until the end. Al-ldhtebaa' means placing the middle of one's Reda' under his right arm and the ends of it over his left shoulder. When he is finished performing Tawaf, he may return his Reda' to its original state because the time for Idhtebaa' is only during Tawaf. |
| Al-Raml during the first three circuits. Al-Raml means speeding up one's pace with small steps. A pilgrim should walk at a normal pace during his last four circuits. When he completes seven circuits of Tawaf, he approaches Maqam Ibrahim and recites: "And take ye the station of Abraham as a place of Prayer" Chapter 2, Verse 125 [2:125]. He prays two short Rakaas, as close as conveniently possible, behind Maqam Ibrahim. During the first Rakaa he recites Surah Al-Kafirun [Chapter 109] and during the second one Surah Al- lkhlas[Chapter 112]. When he completes the two Rakaas he should return to the Black Stone and touch it, if convenient. He goes out to the Mesa'a and when he nears As-Safaa he recites: " Verily As- Safaa and Al-Marwah are among the shrines of Allah" [2:158]. |
ascends As-Safaa until he is able to see the Ka'bah.
Facing the Ka'bah
and raising his hands, he praises Allah and makes
any supplications he
chooses. The Prophet--may the peace and
blessings of Allah be upon
him--prayed thus: "There is no Deity but
Allah alone," three times,
supplicating in between.
He
descends As-Safaa and heads for Al-
Marwah at a normal pace until he
reaches the green marker. He should
then run fast until the next green
marker. He continues toward Al-
Marwah at a normal pace. When he
reaches it, he ascends it, faces the
Qibla, raises his hands and
repeats what he said on As-Safaa. He
descends Al-Marwah heading towards
As-Safaa, taking care to walk
where walking is designated, and run
where running is designated.
He
continues this procedure until he
completes seven laps. Going from
As-Safaa to Al-Marwah is a lap and
returning is another lap. During his
Sa'yi he may recite what he
wills of supplications, recitation of
Qur'an, and mentioning Allah.
In
completion of Sa'yi he shaves his
head. A woman clips her hair the
length of a finger tip. Shaving is
preferable, except when Hajj is near
and there isn't sufficient time
for hair to grow back. In this case
it's best to clip so that hair
will remain for shaving during Hajj.
With that, Umrah is completed.
and a pilgrim is free to dress in other
clothing, wear perfume and
engage in marital relations, etc.
The Hajj
In
the forenoon of the eighth day
of Dhul-Hijja, a pilgrim purifies
himself once again by bathing as
he did before Umrah in the place in
which he is staying, if
convenient. He puts on his Ihram and says: "
Here I am for Hajj. Here
I am, oh Allah, here I am. Here I am. You have
no partner. Here I
am. Surely all praise, grace and dominion is yours,
and you have no
partners."
If
he fears
that something will prevent him from completing his Hajj he
should
make a condition when he makes his intentions, saying: " If I am
prevented
by any obstacle my place is wherever I am held up." If he has
no
such fear, he doesn't make this condition.
A
pilgrim goes to Mina and there prays Dhuhr, Asr,
Magrib, Isha and Fajr,
shortening his four unit prayers so as to make
them two units each,
without combining them.
When
the sun rises, he goes to Arafah
and there prays Dhuhr and Asr combined
at the time of Dhuhr, making
each one two units. He remains in Namira
Mosque until sunset if
possible. He remembers Allah and makes as many
supplications as
possible while facing the Qibla. The Prophet-may the
peace and
blessing of Allah be upon him-prayed thus: "There is no Deity
but
Allah alone. He has no partner. All dominion and praise are His and
He
is powerful over all things.
If
he grows weary it is permissible for him to engage in
beneficial
conversation with his companions or reading what he can
find of
beneficial books, especially those concerning Allah's grace
and
abundant gifts. This will strengthen his hope in Allah. He should
then
return to his supplications and be sure to spend the end of the
day
deep in supplication because the best of supplication is the
supplication
of the day of Arafah.
At
sunset
he goes from Arafah to Muzdalifah and there prays Magrib, Isha,
and
Fajr. If he is tired or has little water, it is permissible for him
to
combine Magrib and Isha. If he fears that he will not reach
Muzdalifah
until after midnight, he should pray before he reaches it
for it is
not permissible to delay prayer until after midnight. He
remains
there, in Muzdalifah, making supplications and remembering
Allah till
just before sunrise.
If
he
is weak and cannot handle the crowd during Ar-Ramy, it is
permissible
for him to go to Mina at the end of the night to stone the
Jamrah
before the arrival of the crowd. Near sunrise, a pilgrim goes
from
Muzdalifah
to Mina. Upon reaching it he does the following:
| He throws seven consecutive pebbles at Jamrah Al-Aqaba which is the closest monument to Makkah, saying: "Allah is the Greatest," as he throws each pebble. |
| He slaughters the sacrificial animal, eats some of it, and gives some to the poor. Slaughter is obligatory on the Mutamati and Qiran. |
| He shaves or clips his hair; shaving is preferable. A woman clips her hair the length of a finger-tip. |
convenient, but there is no restriction if one precedes another.
With
that, one is allowed to come out
of Ihram. He can wear other clothing
and do everything that was
lawful before Ihram except engaging in
marital relations. He goes to
Makkah to perform Tawaf Al-lfadha and
Sa'yi, also for Hajj. It is
Sunnah to put perfume on before going to
Makkah.
With
the completion of this Tawaf and
Sa'yi, a pilgrim is allowed to do
everything that was lawful before
Ihram, including engaging in marital
relations. After performing
Tawaf and Sa'yi, he returns to Mina to
spend the nights of the
eleventh and twelfth days there.
He
stones the three Jamrah in the afternoon of both the
eleventh and
twelfth days. He starts with the first Jamrah, which is
furthest from
Makkah, then the middle one, and lastly Jamrah
Al-Aqaba. Each one
should be stoned with seven consecutive pebbles
accompanied by Takbeer.
He stops after the first and middle Jamrah to
make supplications facing
the Qibla. It is not permissible to stone
before noon on these two
days. It is best to walk to the Jamrah, but
riding is permissible.
If
he
is in a hurry after stoning on the twelfth day, he leaves Mina
before
sunset. But if he wishes to prolong his stay, which is best, he
spends
the night of the thirteenth in Mina and stones that afternoon in
the
same
manner as on the twelfth day.
When
he is ready to return to his country, he makes
Tawaf Al-Wadaa, which is
seven circuits around the Ka'bah.
Menstruating women and women
experiencing postnatal discharge are not
obligated to perform
Tawaf Al -Wadaa.
Visiting The Prophet's Mosque
1.
A pilgrim goes to Madina
before or after Hajj with the intention of
visiting the Prophet's
mosque and praying in it. Prayer there is better
than a thousand
prayers elsewhere except in the Holy Mosque in Makkah.
2. Upon reaching the mosque he prays
two Rakaas of salutation or performs any obligatory prayer that is due.
3.
He goes to the grave of the
Prophet -may the peace and blessings of
Allah be upon him - and he
stands before it. He greets him saying the
"May the peace, mercy, and
blessings of Allah be upon you, oh Prophet.
May Allah grant you a
good reward on behalf of your people. " He takes
a step or two to his
right to position himself before Abu-Bakr and
greets him saying :
"May the peace, mercy, and blessing of Allah be
upon you. oh
Abu-Bakr, Caliph of the Messenger of Allah. May Allah be
pleased with
you and grant you a good reward on behalf of Muhammad's
people."
Then he takes a step or two to his right to position himself
before
Umar and greets him saying: " May the peace, mercy and blessings
of
Allah be upon you, oh Umar, Prince of the believers. May Allah be
pleased
with you and grant you a good reward on behalf of Muhammad's
people."
4. In a state of purity, he goes to pray
in Qubaa Mosque.
5.
He
goes to Al-Baqee to visit Uthman's grave- may Allah be pleased with
him.
He stands before it and greets him saying: "May the peace, mercy
and
blessing of Allah be upon you, oh Uthman- Prince of the believers.
May
Allah be pleased with you and grant you a good reward on behalf of
Muhammad's
people." He greets any other Muslims in Al-Baqee.
6.
He goes to Uhud and visits the
grave of Hamza- may Allah be pleased
with him- and the other martyrs
there with him. He greets them and
preys to Allah to grant them
forgiveness, mercy, and pleasure.
