Dedication This book is dedicated to: Companion of the Cave, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddique 10
Admiration I have read the complete book How is Hajj Performed? Alhamdulillah! The issues and answers in it are correct, the language is easy to understand, the style is articulate and the manner is very pleasing. The rules and regulations are based on Bahar-e-Shariat and also include new issues that have emerged with the changing environment in the last number of years. There is a great need for books like these in this era which is being fulfilled through the efforts of Ameer Sunni Dawat-e- Islami. May Allah Almighty grant this book acceptance and grant blessings in the 11
sincerity, knowledge, deeds, words and life of the author. Aameen. Mufti Muhammad Nizamuddin Razvi (Head of Ifta Dept. Jamia atul Ashrafia, Mubarakpur) 12
Foreword It has been the desire of my colleagues that a book should be written and published by Sunni Dawat e Islami explaining the rules and requirements of Hajj as well as the etiquettes of visiting the court of the Holy Prophet À. I would intend to do it many times but one or more matter which needed attention was always a barrier in pursuing this project. Hazrat Syed Dada Bapu regularly contacts this faqeer to enquire about rules and regulations pertaining to Hajj via telephone. On one occasion, he came to 13
Makkah Mukarramah or Madinah Munawwarah to meet me and gave me a pen as a gift and instructed that I should write on this subject at my earliest convenience. It has taken approximately two years to act upon his order, in which time the organisation Idara-e-Ma aarif e Islami has been formed under the umbrella of Sunni Dawat e Islami. I asked for the opinions of two important members of this organisation, Maulana Syed Imran Qadri Najmi and Maulana Muhammad Abdullah A azmi Najmi and Alhamdulillah they assured me of their full cooperation and with this assurance it became easier to fulfil this task. Muhaqqiq e Masaa il e Jadeedah, Allama Mufti Nizamuddin Saheb and Qari Rizwan Khan Saheb helped with the proofreading. 14
Nevertheless, I am aware of my lack of knowledge and so if the readers notice any kind of shortcomings or mistakes they are requested to advise us so we can correct them. Seeker of Supplications and Forgiveness, Mohammed Shakir Ali Noorie (Ameer Sunni Dawat e Islami) 7 th Ramadhan 1431 AH. 18 th August, 2010 15
نح م دہ و ص و س لم ع ر س و ل ا ي م Nahmaduhu Wa Nusalli Alaa Rasoolihil Kareem, Amma Ba ad! Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam and is the fourth requirement for Muslims in terms of worship. In other words, it is the fourth act of worship (after Salah, Fasting and Zakat) which is compulsory (Fard) upon all Muslims who are financially capable, to perform it once in their lifetime, regardless of where they live in the world. In terms of performing Hajj, Allah Almighty states: و - ع الن+اس حج& ال %ي ت من ا س تط اع الي س%ي لا و من ك 5 فان+ االله غ 0 /. ع ن ال ع لم= >...and performing the Hajj (pilgrimage) of this house, for the sake of Allah, is a duty upon mankind, for those who can reach it; and whoever disbelieves - then Allah is Independent (Unwanting) of the entire creation! (Surah Aal e Imran, Verse 97) 16
Financially capable means having the means to pay for the journey and having enough to ensure that the family (wife and children that do not undertake the journey) have enough money and means to survive comfortably. What is Hajj? On the ninth of Dhul Hijjah, being in a state of Ehram, standing in Arafat and performing Tawaf at a specific time is called Hajj. To perform Hajj for show or to go for Hajj with unlawful money is not permissible (Haraam). It is disliked (Makrooh) to go for Hajj without obtaining permission from those whom it is necessary to gain it from e.g. If the parents are dependent on a person he must obtain their permission before performing Hajj. The same rule also applies to grandparents. 17
In the case of a voluntary (Nafl) Hajj, it is incumbent and necessary to obey the parents wishes and commands completely. As soon as a person has the means to go for Hajj, it immediately becomes compulsory (Fard). It should be performed that year as delaying it is a sin. If a person does not go for Hajj for a few years after it becomes compulsory upon him then he is considered a sinner and transgressor (Faasiq) whose testimony is not acceptable. If a person does not perform Hajj when he has the wealth and means, if he then, later in his life, does not have the wealth, he must borrow money and perform Hajj. Importance of Sincerity in Hajj Sincerity means an intention in which there is no worldly benefit involved, rather, it is purely for the sake of Allah Almighty. People asked RasoolAllah À what sincerity was. The Beloved Prophet of 18
Allah Almighty À replied, That you say that my Lord is Allah Almighty and then you remain steadfast in obeying the commands that He has given you. All worships and deeds are dependent upon the Grace of Allah Almighty. However, when any worship is performed with all its conditions fulfilled then a person feels satisfaction and optimism in his heart regarding its acceptance in the Court of Allah Almighty, because He has stated: ان+ االله لا Cضي ع اج ر ال مح سن= >...indeed Allah does not waste the wages of the virtuous. (Surah Taubah, Verse 120) Muhsineen means those people who perform good deeds with the conditions and prerequisites fulfilled, regardless of whether that worship is in relation to the Rights of Allah (Huqooq Ullah) or the rights of people (Huqooq ul Ibaad). 19
There are two types of conditions which must be fulfilled for all worships 1) Those which relate to the outward and apparent and without which the worship will not be valid e.g. having Wudhu when performing Salah, having Ehram when performing Hajj etc. 2) Those which relate to the inner self and which are not apparent or visible. If this is missed for any reason, the worship will be classed as having been performed but there is no guarantee that any reward will be obtained for performing it. e.g. Performing Salah with concentration and devotion and having sincerity in all worships etc The Master of the worlds À described sincerity with the following words, The reward for all actions is based on intention. Each person will receive reward based on his intention. (Bukhari Shareef Hadith 1) 20
It is apparent from these words of RasoolAllah À that intention is the basis and foundation of the invisible, inner conditions that are necessary for all forms of worship. The result of all actions is wholly dependent on a person s intention. This is why the Holy Qur an has stated this at many different places and has ordered us to ensure that our deeds are performed with sincerity. At one place in the Qur an, Allah Almighty states, ومن ي&رد ثواب الا O ة نو ت من J ا وسنج ز ی الشE ي ن...whoever desires the rewards of this world, We bestow upon him from it; and whoever desires the reward of the Hereafter, We bestow upon him from it; and We shall soon reward the thankful. (Surah Aal e Imran, Verse 145) At another place Allah Almighty states: من Uان يري د ثواب الد&ن يا فعن د االله ثواب الد&ن يا والا O ة و Uان االله سمي ع ا Tص= S ا Whoever desires the reward of this world, then with Allah only lie both - the rewards of this world and of the Hereafter; and Allah is All Hearing, All Seeing. (Surah Nisaa, Verse 134) 21
At yet another point the Almighty states واد عو ہ مخ لص= > ل الد ي ن...and worship Him, as only His devoted worshippers... (Surah Aa raaf, Verse 29) It becomes crystal clear from these verses and the Ahadith of RasoolAllah À that sincerity is the most important aspect in all actions and worships and without it the worships are void of satisfaction and reward. Nowadays, many people perform Hajj but do so only for the sake of worldly respect and fame or because they want to become wealthy as RasoolAllah À has said, Perform Hajj and become wealthy. However, if there is a lack of sincerity or if one has the wrong intention then there is no certainty as to whether or not that Hajj will even be accepted. When Allah Almighty revealed the verse in relation to Hajj being compulsory, He stated: واتم & وا ال حج+ وال عم رة - And perform Hajj (greater pilgrimage) and Umrah (lesser pilgrimage) for Allah... (Surah Baqarah, Verse 196) 22
At another place He states: و- ع الن+اس حج& ال %ي ت من اس تط اع الي س%ي لا...and performing the pilgrimage of this house, for the sake of Allah, is a duty upon mankind, for those who can reach it... (Surah Aal e Imran, Verse 97) In both verses Allah Almighty uses the word Lillah which means that the only aim of performing Hajj and Umrah should be the Pleasure of Allah Almighty. In relation to this verse, Allama Syed Tantawi writes on page 331 of his Tafseer that: (Translation) It is the opinion of many Companions, Tabi een, and Hanfi and Maliki Jurists that where it states in this verse that perform Hajj and Umrah for the sake of Allah it means that all aspects of these worships should be completed with utmost sincerity and purely for the sake of the Pleasure of Allah Almighty. Additionally, it is necessary for a Muslim that when he performs Hajj 23
and Umrah, or either one of them, he should perform them fully and properly just as RasoolAllah À and the Companions performed them. Remember! Hajj should not be performed with the intention that it will make you rich and famous; rather the only intention should be the Pleasure of Allah Almighty. The only Hajj that is accepted in the Court of Allah Almighty is the Hajj that is done to please Him. It should also be remembered that our intention (from the heart) is not seen by other humans but Allah Almighty undoubtedly sees it. As far as the benefits and blessings for those who perform Hajj, it should be wholeheartedly believed that the promises made by Allah Almighty and His Beloved Prophet À are certainly true. We will undoubtedly receive those blessings and benefits but we should be performing Hajj only for His pleasure rather than for those rewards. Let us read about the sincerity of a pious predecessor and strengthen our faith. 24
A pious predecessor states, I repeated all the Salahs that I had performed in the front row for thirty years. The reason for this was that one day I arrived late at the Masjid and only found space in the last row. I became embarrassed and thought to myself, What will people think of me? They will say that I came late. At that point I realised that I was pleased at the fact that people saw me performing my Salah in the first row and I feared that all my Salah would have been wasted and I therefore repeated all of them. Sincerity is the soul of worship because the blessings obtained in worship depend on the intention. Therefore, if Hajj is performed for the Pleasure of Allah Almighty then you will surely find Allah Almighty and if you find Him, will you not obtain His Blessings? This is the reason that when any of the pious predecessors would go for Hajj or Umrah and would say Labbaik (I am here) their colour would change out of fear that their Labbaik would be 25
rejected. Remember that when you say Labbaik you should have in your mind that just as I am saying Labbaik upon Allah Almighty s order for performing Hajj, I will run and say Labbaik upon every Command of Allah Almighty, Insha Allah. Why is it Necessary to Learn Rules? Hazrat Ataa Salmi  prepared a beautiful cloth and took it to the market place to sell. He showed it to a cloth merchant who offered a very low price for it. He pointed out all the faults in the cloth and stated that because of all the faults I cannot give you full price for it. Hazrat Ataa Salmi  took the cloth back from the merchant and began to cry. The merchant felt great regret and apologised to him and offered to pay him the full price for the cloth. But Hazrat Ataa Salmi  stated, I am not crying at the fact that I am not getting a good price for my cloth. I am crying because I know the trade of making cloth and I tried to make this cloth strong, beautiful and long lasting. As far as I was concerned there were no faults in this cloth. 26
However, when I showed it to an expert like you, many faults were exposed in my cloth that was not visible to me. What then will happen to our deeds when they are presented before Allah Almighty on the Day of Judgement? Who knows how many faults and defects will become visible in our deeds that we are unaware of today. (Momin ki Namaz Page 31) Read the above incident time and again and ponder on the fact that we perform many deeds which we think we have performed perfectly but there is the possibility that there are many faults and defects in those worships and deeds. Remember that when we intend to perform Hajj or Umrah, until we become familiar with their rules and regulations, we will not be able to perform them correctly. And until we do not perform them correctly, we will be deprived of the rewards and blessings associated with performing these worships. 27
Signs of Accepted and Rejected Hajj There are three signs of an accepted Hajj: 1) Always being soft hearted and merciful after performing Hajj. 2) Developing a hatred for sins. 3) Becoming attracted towards good deeds. There are also three signs of a Hajj that is rejected and not accepted: 1) Becoming hard hearted and cruel. 2) Being attracted towards sins. 3) Having a hatred for good deeds. (Tafseer e Na eemi Vol 2 Pg 287) Hazrat Shaikh Abdul Haq Muhaddith Dehlvi  writes, The pious predecessors have stated that the sign of an accepted Hajj is that a person returns a better person than he was before, is attracted to the hereafter, avoids worldly people and does not 28
become tainted with sins again. (Ash atul Lam aat Vol 2 Pg 302) Therefore it is necessary for every Haji to look at himself and if he is not better than before, does not perform Salah, does not pay Zakat, does not perform other worships and is not attracted towards good deeds, rather he develops a dislike for good deeds and is attracted towards bad deeds, then he should realise that his Hajj has not been accepted. 29
HAJJ AT A GLANCE Remember the following tips before travelling for Hajj and Insha Allah you will gain great rewards. If you are married, have your wife apply Itr on both pieces of your Ehram. Remove hair from the armpits along with your pubic hair. Also clip your nails and trim your moustache. Perform Ghusl (bath) according to the Sunnah. Tie one piece of Ehram on your lower body and wrap the other piece around your upper body. Perform four rak ats Nafl Salah with your head covered. Pray for safety and ease during your journey and for the safeguarding of your home and family until you return. Perform two rak ats Nafl for Ehram. After Alhamdu Shareef, recite Surah Kaafiroon in the first rak at and Surah Ikhlas in the second as this is Sunnah. These two rak ats should also be prayed with the head covered. As soon as you 30
finish you should remove the Ehram from your head. Most of the people who go for Hajj from India perform Hajj-e-Tamattu. If you are intending to perform Hajj-e-Tamattu then make intention (Niyyah) for Umrah alone and say the following words: الل JEم+ a ا اري د ال عم رة في`ها^ و [قب+ل هام 0 /. نوي ت ال عم رة و ا Y م ت بها مخ لص ا - [عا^. ل%+ي b بال عم رة O Allah! I am intending to perform Umrah, make it easy for me and accept it from me. I have made the intention for Umrah purely for the sake of Allah Almighty and have put on the Ehram for it. O Allah! I am present for Umrah. After making the intention men should recite the Talbiyyah aloud three times and women should recite it quietly: ل%+ي b الل JEم+ ل%+ي b. ل%+ي b لا c ي b ل b ل%+ي b ان+ ال حم د والنع مة ل b وال مل b. لا c ي b ل b 31
I am present O Allah! I am present. I am present, there is no one worthy of worship except You, I am present. Undoubtedly all praises, divine blessings and the universe is for You. There is no one worthy of worship except You. After reciting the Talbiyyah, recite Durood Shareef once and then recite the following dua: اللEهم+ a ا اس ي ل b رض اک وال جن+ة و اعو ذ ب b من سخط b و من الن+ار O Allah! I seek from You Your Pleasure and Paradise and seek refuge from Your Displeasure and from the fire of Hell. Now all the restrictions of Ehram begin. (Refer to the section on Ehram for further details.) After this dua, make dua for the well-being and forgiveness of your parents, wife/husband, children, teachers, spiritual guide, neighbours and all Muslim men and women. All through the journey, ensure you remain busy in reciting the Qur an, Durood Shareef, Tauba-o-Istigfaar and Talbiyyah. 32
Ensure that you do not miss any Salah during your journey. Refrain from idle chat as you do not want this idle chat to deprive you of the blessings of Hajj. If anyone wrongs you in any way, forgive them. If you have made intention for Hajj-e-Tamattu then you will have to perform Umrah first. After arriving in Makkah Mukarramah make your way to your hotel and if you are tired ensure that you rest. Once rested make your way towards Haram Shareef. Recite Talbiyyah loudly along the way. It is better to enter Masjide-Haraam through Baab-us-Salaam. Nowadays however, that door is usually closed. Therefore, enter Haram Shareef through whichever door is easiest for you. It is better to keep your gaze lowered when entering Haram Shareef and recite the dua for entering a Masjid. Very soon after entering Haram Shareef you will see the blessed Ka aba. The dua made upon first seeing the Ka aba will Insha Allah be accepted 33
by Allah Almighty. It is better to make dua in the following manner O Allah! Whatever and whenever I supplicate for good, pure things, accept it from me. الله Recite الله و Laa Ilaaha Illal Laahu لا لا Wallahu Akbar three times. Stand and supplicate (make dua) for a short while and then whilst reciting Talbiyyah proceed towards the Ka aba. Before beginning Tawaf uncover your right shoulder by putting the upper Ehram sheet under your right arm and over your left shoulder. This is known as Ijtiba. Then proceed towards Hajr-e-Aswad and make intention (Niyyah) for Tawaf. If you are able to kiss Hajr-e-Aswad then Subhan Allah! Otherwise stand in line with Hajr-e-Aswad, raise your hands with your س م الله الله palms facing towards it and recite Bismillahi Allahu Akbar and kiss your fingers (This is called Istilam). As soon as you make intention (Niyyah) for Tawaf, you should stop reciting Talbiyyah. 34
Now you should begin Tawaf. In the first three circuits you should walk hurriedly with forceful and narrow paces while shaking the shoulders like a brave soldier going into the battlefield. This is Sunnah and is called Ramal. Before beginning each circuit stand in front of Hajr-e-Aswad and do Istilam. Recite the duas in each circuit that are mentioned in the chapter on Tawaf. After completing the Tawaf (7 circuits) find a space anywhere behind Maqam-e-Ibrahim and after covering your shoulder perform two rak ats Waajibut Tawaf Salah. After Alhamdu Shareef, recite Surah Kaafiroon in the first rak at and Surah Ikhlas in the second and then make dua. Now, if possible, go to Multazim and cling to the wall of the Ka aba and make dua. Then go and drink Zam-Zam water as much as you can. 35
Recite the following dua when drinking Zam- Zam: الل JEم+ a ا اس ي ل b عل م ا ن+افع ا و+ ر jق ا و+اسع ا و+ شفا ئ م ن Uل دا ئ O Allah! I seek from You knowledge that benefits, wealth that expands and cure from all illnesses. Do Istilam of Hajr-e-Aswad after drinking Zam- Zam and then head towards Safa Marwa to perform Sa ee. Stand on mount Safa facing the Ka aba, make the intention to perform Sa ee and then make dua for a short while. After completing the dua start walking towards Marwa. Keep reciting Durood Shareef, Tauba-o- Istigfaar and duas etc. Men should jog between Meelain Akhdarain (two green lights). Any dua made whilst doing Sa ee will Insha Allah be accepted. Upon reaching mount Marwa, turn towards the Ka aba and make dua. 36
From Safa to Marwa is one circuit, from Marwa back to Safa makes two circuits. In this manner complete seven circuits. These rules are for the Nabvi Mas aa (area where RasoolAllah À performed Sa ee) and not the new Mas aa that has recently been completed. Sa ee is not permissible in the new Mas aa. Therefore you must walk from Marwa to Safa seven times or at a minimum four times for the Sa ee to be valid. The reason for this is that the new Mas aa (Safa to Marwa) that has been built by the Saudi authorities is outside the area of Mas aa that was ordained by RasoolAllah À. The Mas aa that goes from Marwa to Safa is within the bounds of the Nabvi Mas aa. Upon reaching Marwa after completing seven circuits, turn towards the Ka aba and make dua. After completing Sa ee shave your hair or have the hair cut. Now your Umrah is complete and the restrictions of Ehram are lifted from you. 37
Remove the Ehram clothing and wait for the days of Hajj. During this time continue to perform voluntary (Nafl) Tawafs. Those who have made intention for Hajj-e-Qiran should remember that they should perform all the requirements of Umrah but should not have their hair cut or shaved. They have to stay in a state of Ehram even after performing Sa ee and the restrictions of Ehram are still applicable to them. If a person performing Hajj e Qiran makes any error then he has to pay two compensations. This Tawaf will be Tawaf-e-Qudoom and the Sa ee will be the Sa ee of Hajj for the person who makes intention for Hajj e Ifrad. He has the option of not performing Sa ee after Tawaf-e- Ziarat. Those performing Hajj-e-Tamattu should perform Ghusl (bath) anytime after Zuhr on the 7th Dhul Hijjah, put on their Ehram and proceed to Masjid-e-Haraam. 38
With your head covered perform two rak ats Nafl Salah with the intention of Ehram. Upon completing the Salah remove the cover from your head. Then make the intention for Hajj and begin reciting Talbiyyah (Labbaik). As soon as you begin to recite Talbiyyah, all the restrictions of Ehram become applicable to you. Now perform a Nafl Tawaf with Ramal and Ijtiba. Pray two rak ats Waajibut Tawaf Salah upon completing the Tawaf. If you want to perform the Sa ee for Tawaf-e- Ziarat today you may do so or you can wait until after you have performed Tawaf-e-Ziarat to do it. You can also just put on your Ehram and head straight for Mina. Now come back to your hotel and remain busy in reciting Durood Shareef, Tauba-o-Istigfaar etc. 39
Tour operators usually take people to Mina on the night between the 7th and 8th Dhul Hijjah. This is against the Sunnah but there is no penalty (damm) due. First Day of Hajj (8th Dhul Hijjah) You should perform the Salah of Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha as well as Fajr of the 9th in Mina. Second Day of Hajj (9th Dhul Hijjah) This day is known as the day of Arafat. On this day, at the time of Ishraq, you should proceed towards Arafat with Talbiyyah, Durood Shareef, Tauba-o-Istigfaar and dua on your lips. If you get to Arafat before Zawal (midday) then perform ghusl as this is Sunnat-e-Mu akkadah. If you get to Arafat later than that then perform Wudhu correctly and perform Zuhr Salah. 40
Now perform Wuqoof-e- Arafat. Make dua in abundance under the open sky. Perform the Salahs of Zuhr and Asr in their own times in your own tents behind a Sunni Imam. Just after sunset, without praying Maghrib Salah, leave Arafat and head towards Muzdalifah. Ensure that you have Talbiyyah, Durood and duas on your lips. Upon reaching Muzdalifah, perform Maghrib and Isha with Jama at in the following manner. First say the Iqamat for and perform Maghrib Salah. Immediately after the Fard of Maghrib, say the Iqamat for Isha and perform the Fard of Isha. Then perform the Sunnah and Nafl for Maghrib and then perform the Sunnah, Nafl and Witr of Isha. This night is more exalted than the Night of Power (Shab-e-Qadr) for those performing Hajj. Therefore, spend as little time as possible resting and spend as much time as you can in worship. 41
Wake up early for Fajr Salah and perform it with Jama at in the earliest time possible. After Fajr Salah, perform Wuqoof-e-Muzdalifah. On this night, seek forgiveness for any shortcomings you have in terms of fulfilling the rights of others. 10 to 15 minutes before sunrise gather 70 small pebbles and head towards Mina. Third Day of Hajj (10th Dhul Hijjah) The first thing to do on this day is perform Rami (stoning) of Jamrah Uqbah (large shaitaan) with seven pebbles. Stop reciting Talbiyyah before Rami. Now offer your sacrifice. Men should then cut or shave their hair, women should wrap some hair around their finger and cut it and the Ehram should now be taken off. Normal, stitched clothes can now be worn. The restrictions of Ehram are now lifted except for relationship between a husband and wife. 42
This restriction is lifted after performing Tawafe-Ziarat. Perform ghusl (if possible) according to Sunnah, wear normal clothes, ensure you are with wudhu and make your way to Makkah Mukarramah to perform Tawaf-e-Ziarat. After completing the Tawaf, perform two rak ats Waajibut Tawaf by Maqam-e-Ibrahim. Make dua at Multazim and then drink Zam- Zam. If you have not already completed the Sa ee for after Tawaf-e-Ziarat, then do so now. Upon completion of Tawaf-e-Ziarat, ALL the restrictions of Ehram are now lifted. Now head back to Mina and spend the night there. Fourth Day of Hajj (11th Dhul Hijjah) On this day, immediately following Zawal, the time for Rami (stoning) begins. 43
Today all three Jamaraat should be stoned with seven pebbles each. First Jamaraat Oolaa (small shaitaan), then Jamaraat Wustaa (middle) and finally Jamaraat Uqba (large) with seven pebbles each. After stoning each of the first two, you should move to one side and make dua whilst standing there. After stoning the third Jamaraat do not stand there but keep walking and make dua whilst you are walking back towards your tent. If anyone did not perform Tawaf-e-Ziarat on the 10 th then they can perform it today (11 th Dhul Hijjah) Fifth Day of Hajj (12th Dhul Hijjah) Just like the day before, on this day after Zuhr the three Jamaraat have to be stoned in the same order. After stoning each of the first two Jamaraat move to one side and make dua whilst standing there. After stoning the third Jamaraat you can head straight for Makkah or come back to Mina. 44
You have the option to go back to Makkah before sunset. It is Makrooh (disliked) to leave Mina for Makkah after sunset. If you are in Mina until dawn of the 13 th then performing Rami on this day is compulsory (Wajib) on you. It is not permissible to leave Mina without stoning the Jamaraat. If you leave on this day without stoning then a penalty (damm) will be due. This Rami is also performed after Zawal. Congratulations! Your Hajj is now complete. May Allah Almighty accept it, Aameen. Now those who live outside the boundaries of the Miqat must perform Tawaf-e-Widaa before leaving Makkah. For as long as you are in Makkah, perform as many Tawafs as possible. Also keep reciting Qur an Shareef and perform voluntary (Nafl) prayers or do Qaza of the past missed Salahs. 45
After Tawaf e Widaa, leave Makkah and head towards Madinah Munawwarah to present yourself in the blessed court of RasoolAllah À For details regarding the method and manner of visiting Madinah Munawwarah, look in the book Excellence and Etiquettes of Madinah Munawwarah. Types of Hajj There are three types of Hajj: (1) Qiran, (2) Tamattu, (3) Ifrad. The best (most rewarded) is Qiran, then Tamattu and then Ifrad. Hajj-e-Qiran Qiran is the Hajj where the intention is done together for Umrah and Hajj. If the Ehram is worn for Umrah alone but before completing 4 circuits of Tawaf the intention is made to include Hajj in this Ehram then this will be classified as Hajj-e-Qiran. 46
Similarly, if the Ehram is worn for Hajj but the intention is made to include Umrah before 4 circuits of Tawaf have been completed, this will also be Hajj-e-Qiran. However, if you do not put on the Ehram for Hajj and Umrah together and just put on the Ehram for Hajj and decide to include Umrah in the same Ehram before Tawaf-e-Qudoom then this is against Sunnah. If the Umrah Ehram is put on after Tawafe-Qudoom then it is Wajib to break the Umrah and pay the penalty and perform the (Qaza) Umrah later. Even if the Umrah is not broken, it is still necessary to pay the penalty. It is Wajib in Qiran to first perform Tawaf of the Ka aba. It is Sunnah to do Ramal (walk hurriedly) in the first three circuits, and then Sa ee should be performed. The first part of Hajj-e-Qiran has now been completed, namely Umrah. However, you cannot perform Halq (shaving hair) yet. Even if the hair is shaved, a person still cannot come out of Ehram and must pay two penalties (damm). It is 47
Wajib upon those who do Hajj-e-Qiran to perform sacrifice (Qurbani) on the 10 th after Rami (stoning). This is to offer gratitude that Allah Almighty has grated the guidance to perform two worships. This sacrifice has to be offered inside the precincts of Haram and it is better if it is offered in Mina. The time for offering this sacrifice is from Fajr on the 10 th until sunset on the 12 th but it is essential that it is offered only after performing Rami. If it is offered before Rami, then a penalty (damm) has to be paid. If the sacrifice is not offered by the 12 th then it is not cancelled or forgiven. As long as you remain alive, that sacrifice will remain Wajib upon you until you offer it. If a Qarin (person doing Hajj-e-Qiran) does not have enough money with which to buy a sacrificial animal, nor has anything that he can sell in order to get enough money to buy one, then he should fast for ten days three fasts during the days of Hajj whilst in Ehram and the remaining seven after the days of Hajj have passed. If he does not keep the 48
three fasts before the 9 th of Dhul Hijjah then it is not sufficient to fast these three after the 9 th, he must pay a penalty (damm). However, the remaining seven can be kept whilst in Haram, or can be kept after returning home. Hajj-e-Tamattu Hajj-e-Tamattu is the Hajj where the Ehram is worn for Umrah during the month of Hajj and after performing Umrah the Ehram is removed. Then the Ehram is worn for Hajj later on and Hajj is performed. There are ten conditions for Hajj-e-Tamattu 1) Completing a full Tawaf (minimum of four circuits) in the months of Hajj. 2) The Ehram for Umrah must be worn before the Ehram for Hajj. 3) Completing all of the Tawaf (or at least 4 circuits) before the Ehram of Hajj is worn. 49
4) Umrah must not be nullified. 5) Hajj must not be nullified. 6) Cannot return home after completing Umrah and removing Ehram. Must stay until Hajj and return home after completing Hajj. 7) Umrah and Hajj must be in the same year. 8) Must not have the intention to stay in Makkah forever. 9) Cannot be without Ehram in Makkah and also cannot perform the Tawaf (or most of a Tawaf) before the months of Hajj. 10) Has to live outside the Miqat. Those who live in Makkah cannot perform Hajj-e-Tamattu. It is not necessary that a person performing Hajj-e- Tamattu performs both Umrah and Hajj for the same person. It is possible that you can perform one of them for yourself and the other on behalf of someone else or the Hajj and Umrah can be on behalf of two different people who have both given him permission for Tamattu. However, if a person 50
performing Hajj-e-Tamattu (also known as a Mutamatt i) is not able to afford a sacrifice then he will have to keep the ten Fasts himself, regardless of who he is doing the Hajj for. Hajj-e-Ifrad Hajj-e-Ifrad is when Hajj alone is performed. In other words, Umrah and Hajj are not combined in the months of Hajj. If Umrah is performed before or after the months of Hajj, it will still be classed as Hajj-e-Ifrad. Time of Hajj Allah Almighty states: ال حج& اش J ر م+ع لو م ت u فم ن s ض في J ن+ ال حج+ فلا ر فث ولا فس و ق u ولا جدال x ال حج u The Hajj is during the well-known months; and for one who intends to perform the Hajj in it - neither is there to be mention of cohabitation in the presence of women, nor any sin, nor a fight with anyone till the completion of Hajj;... (Surah Baqarah, Verse 197) 51
The time of Hajj is from Shawwal until the 10 th of Dhul Hijjah. The acts of Hajj cannot be performed before this. It is also disliked (Makrooh) to put on the Ehram of Hajj before this time.
