How to perform Hajj and Umrah All praises be to Allah, Lord and Sustainer of the worlds, and may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and companions. This is a brief guide to provide a Pilgrim a clear understanding of what should be done before and during the Hajj and Umrah. The performing of Hajj and Umrah can be divide into four topics: 1 2 3 4 VIRTUES OF HAJJ AND UMRAH IHRAAM RITES OF HAJJ AND UMRAH VISITING Al-MADEENAH 4

Virtues of Hajj and Umrah 1. Reward of Hajj and Umrah said, An Umrah to another Umrah is an expiation for what is (all minor sins) between them. And the reward of Hajj Mabroor (the one that is accepted by Allah) is nothing except Paradise. Agreed upon. Narrated Abu Hurairah that the Prophet said, not have marital relations (during Ihraam), and does not do evil or sins then he will return like he was on the day his mother gave birth to him. (free from all sins). Al Bukhari Narrated Abu Hurairah that the Prophet was asked, Which is the best deed? He said, To believe in Allah and His Messenger. He was then asked, Which is the next (in goodness)? He 5

was then asked, Which is the next? He said, To perform Hajj-Mabroor (an accepted Hajj). Al Bukhari 2. Hajj-Mabroor (a righteous or accepted Hajj) accepted: a. That it be performed in accordance with the Sunnah of the Prophet. b. There should be no showing off in it. c. or bad language as Allah says: So whosoever intends to perform Hajj (therein by assuming Ihraam), then he should not have marital relations (with his wife), nor commit sins, nor dispute unjustly during the Hajj. (Al Baqarah 2:197) 6

d. It must be performed with Halal earnings as Allah says: And take a provision (with you) for the (obedience of Allah). e. It should not be followed by any deeds of disobedience to Allah and His Messenger. 7

Ihraam

Ihraam Many people think of Ihraam as the two white sheets worn by the male pilgrims. This is a mistake that often leads to wrong conclusions and misunderstandings about rulings. The two white sheets worn by men are the Ihraam garments for men and not the Ihraam itself. The word Ihraam in the Arabic language means entering into a state of prohibition. Umrah is the intention (of the Hajj and/or Umrah) by which a person enters the state in which certain things become prohibited on him/her. 10

There are Five Issues related to Ihraam a) Ruling of Ihraam b) Types of Ihraam c) Prescribed time and places of Ihraam d) Manners and Sunnah of Ihraam e) Prohibitions during Ihraam 11

12 The Ihraam is a pillar of Hajj and Umrah. Hajj and Umrah is considered invalid without the Ihraam. There are three types of Ihraam: 1. IFRAAD A pilgrim enters Ihraam (makes the only. When he reaches Makkah he performs an arrival tawaaf (al-qudoom). He can perform after the tawaaf of Hajj (tawaaf al-ifadhah or tawaaf az-ziyarah). He does not shave or cut his hair Dhul-Hijjah. 2. QIRAAN The pilgrim enters Ihraam (makes the intention in his heart) for Umrah and Hajj

both, together. There is no difference in the rites of Qiraan and Ifraad except that the one who is only and performs a complete Umrah on reaching or cutting his hair. He then exits the Ihraam and remains so until the eighth day of Dhul Hijjah (day of Tarwiyah) when he enters Ihraam again for the Hajj only. Thus performing a complete Umrah and a complete Hajj with separate intentions. Scholars are in agreement for the validity of any of the above three though their opinion differs regarding which one is most rewarding; majority Prophet ordered his companions to do so and said - he would have done the same if he did not 13

The time for Umrah is all round the year while the verses: They ask you (O Muhammad) about the new moons. Say: these are signs to mark the time for mankind and for Hajj. (Al Baqarah 2:189) The Hajj is in the well-known months (i.e. the tenth, eleventh and twelfth month of the Islamic calendar). (Al Baqarah 2:197) Majority of scholars consider the month of Hijjah as the days of Hajj. 14

allocated to enter the state of Ihraam for anyone who comes for Hajj or Umrah. It is not permitted to pass these without making the intention (i.e.ihraam). Ibn Abbas of Allah reported that the Messenger allocated: for the people of Shaam and for the people of Najd and for the people of Yemen. these are Meeqaat for people living there and for anyone coming from other places with the intention of Hajj and Umrah. 15

And for those other than the above two, their Meeqaat is their own residence so that the Meeqaat of the people of Makkah is from Makkah. Agreed upon. Based on the last part of the above hadeeth when a person is already in Makkah and wishes to start the Ihraam of Hajj, he does so from his hotel where he is residing. He does not have to go to one of the as indiacated by the following hadeeth. Dhul Hulaifa and for the people of Sham and Egypt Al Juhfa and for and for the people of Yemen Yalamlam. 16

It is recommended that one takes a bath before entering Ihraam as was reported from the Messenger of Allah, but this is not obligatory. Ibn Umar would sometimes take a bath or he would just perform Wudoo. It is Sunnah to apply perfume. Perfume should be applied to the body. There is a difference of opinion when applying perfume to the clothes. Hence this should be avoided before entering the state of Ihraam. There is no problem if any trace or smell remains after entering Ihraam. 18

Ihraam as such is not proven in the Sunnah. The Messenger of Allah would usually enter Ihraam after an obligatory prayer, though this can also be done after praying two rakah of wudoo or two rakah for the greeting of the masjid. It is a Sunnah for the one who is traveling by land to start the talbiyah after he boards his transport, as was reported by Anas and Ibn Umar that the Prophet would call out the talbiyah when he would mount his riding animal and rise. (narrated by Al Bukhari). However, as most people travel by air it is important that they MUST enter Ihraam (that is, making the intention in their hearts of performing either Umrah 19

Labbayk Allahumma Hajjan (Here I am, O Allah, for Hajj). Labbayk Allahumma bi Hijjah wa Umrah (Here I am, O Allah, for Hajj and Umrah). should say: Labbayk Allaahumma Umrah (Here I am, O Allah, for Umrah). Narrated by Ibn Umar Messenger of Allah : the talbiyah of the was: ل ب ي ك الل ه م ل ب ي ك, ل ب ي ك لا شر يك ل ك ل ب ي ك, إ ن ال ح م د.و ال نع م ة ل ك, و ال م ل ك لا شر يك ل ك Labbayka Allaahumma labbayk, labbayka laa (Here I am, O 20

Allah, here I am. Here I am, You have no partner, here I am. Verily all praise and blessings are Yours, and all sovereignty, You have no partner). Agreed upon. Calling the Talbiyah out loud is a Sunnah and has great reward in it. of Allah said: there is none of the Muslims who begins saying the talbiyah except everything from his right side including stones, trees, fur, says the talbiyah as far as the earth ends from there and there (i.e. east and west). Ibn Maajah. he said companions that they should raise their voices for the talbiyah. A lady should not raise her voice for the talbiyah. 21

It is a Sunnah to say the talbiyah a lot especially where places, people and times meet. Narrated Jabir, that the Messenger of Allah would say the talbiyah during his Hajj when he would meet the riders, when he would rise to a high place or go down in a valley, after the obligatory prayers and towards the end of the night. Muslim A pilgrim who enters Ihraam with the intention of performing Umrah discontinues his talbiyah only when he enters al-masjid al-haraam and starts the tawaaf. While the one who enters Ihraam with the intention of Hajj should continue his talbiyah until he begins tenth of Dhul-Hijjah. 22

Men and Women 23

and Women 1. Then one should not have marital relations, nor commit sin, nor dispute unjustly during the Hajj. (al-baqarah 197) 2. They should not remove any hair from their head or body. 3. They should not cut any of their nails except for what breaks off itself. 4. They should not apply perfume after entering the state of Ihraam i.e. after making the intention, either to their body, or clothes, or food and drink. They should not wash with perfumed soap either. But if any traces of perfume remain from that which they put on before making their intention then that does not matter. 24

5. They should not hunt or assist in hunting in any way, except the sea animals and the ones which are harmful such as snakes, scorpions, rats or harmful insects etc. 6. They should not enter into a marriage contract for themselves or arrange a marriage for anyone else, or propose marriage for themselves or on behalf of someone else. hands with a piece of cloth such as covering a wound if necessary does not matter. 25

1. Men should not cover their heads with something with an umbrella, roof of a vehicle and tent, or necessary does not matter. 2. They should not wear any clothing made in the shape of the body or a part of the body such as shirts, t-shirts, cloaks, vests, trousers, shorts, and socks etc. There is nothing wrong with wearing sandals, rings, eyeglasses and hearing aids, or to wear wristwatches, or to put a watch or sunglasses on strings around the neck, or to wear money belts. 26

Sandals 27

use for covering their faces with holes cut for the eyes. The Sunnah is for them to uncover their faces unless non-mahram men can see them, in which case they should lower their headcover on their faces as proven by the Hadith of Aayishah who said: We used to go out with the Messenger of Allah when we were in ihraam. If we met the riders we would lower our garments over our faces. (Narrated by Abu Dawood, 1833; Ibn Maajah, 2935) 28

Rites of Hajj and Umrah

Rites of Hajj and Umrah It is Sunnah to take a bath before entering Makkah e.g. at Jeddah airport if possible. 32

Once a person enters Makkah he/she should know that he/she is entering an honored sanctuary and that certain actions are forbidden here irrespective of whether one is in the state of Ihraam or not. 33

Narrated Ibn Abbas, the Prophet said, Allah has made Makkah a sanctuary (sacred place) and it was a sanctuary before me and will be so after a few hours of the day. None is allowed to uproot its thorny plants or to cut its trees or to chase its game or to pick up its fallen things except by a person who announces it publicly. On that Al-Abbas said (to the Prophet), Except Al-Idhkhir for our goldsmiths and for our graves. Al-Bukhari. And Allah says: And whoever inclines to evil actions therein (Sanctuary of Makkah) or to do wrong, We shall cause him to taste a painful torment. Al-Hajj 25 Narrated Ibn Abbas, The Prophet said, The most hated people in the sight of Allah are three: (1) A person who deviates from the right conduct, i.e., an evil doer, in the Haram (sanctuaries of Makkah and Medina); (2) a person who seeks that the traditions of the Pre-Islamic Period of Ignorance, 34

should remain in Islam (3) and a person who seeks Al Bukhari. On reaching the destination in Makkah one should hasten in going to al-masjid al-haraam for performing Umrah. However, if you are exhausted by the journey it is better to take rest and then do Umrah when you are mentally and physically fresh and can concentrate on your worship. 35

When entering al-masjid al-haraam one should do ب س م الل ه و ال صلا ة و ال سلا م ع لى ر س ول الل ه الل ه م اغ ف ر لي ذ ن ويب و اف ت ح لي أ ب و اب ر ح م ت ك أ ع وذ ب الل ه ال ع ظ يم و ب و ج ه ه ال ك ر يم و س ل ط ان ه ال ق د يم م ن ال شي ط ان ال رج يم (In the name of Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. O Allah, forgive me my sins and open to me the gates of Your mercy. I seek refuge with Allah the Almighty and in His noble Face and His eternal power from the accursed Satan). 36

However, for this will be the tawaaf of the Umrah and therefore, an obligatory tawaaf. performed on entering Makkah whether this is tawaaf of Umrah or just an arrival tawaaf. - which is the uncovering of the right shoulder. This is done during all seven rounds of tawaaf. - Ramal means to walk fast taking short steps, but without running. This is done in the Both of these actions are for men only. 38

Tawaaf When a pilgrim enters al-masjid al-haraam he prayer or a funeral prayer). He should reach the Black Stone, touch it with his right hand and kiss it. and point to it. It is not permissible to push others, causing harm and being harmed. Due to excessive crowds, it may not be sometimes possible to see the Black stone and face it directly at the beginning of the Tawaaf. In such case the guide is the large green light post on the wall of the masjid opposing the black stone. 40

When touching the Stone, a pilgrim should say: In the name of Allah, Allah is the greatest. Then he should begin the Tawaaf keeping the (see overleaf for diagram) ب س م الل ه, و ا لل ه أ ك بر 41

He should then ascend to Ass-Safaa and turn to Qiblah and raising the hands one should state the greatness of Allah and say: لا إ ل ه إ لا الل ه و ح د ه لا شر يك ل ه ل ه ال م ل ك و ل ه ال ح م د و ه و ع لى ك ل شي ء ق د ير لا إ ل ه إ لا الل ه و ح د ه أ ن ج ز و ع د ه و ن صر ع ب د ه و ه ز م الا ح ز اب و ح د ه There is no God, but Allah alone, with no partner or associate, His is the dominion, all praise is due to Him, and He is able to do all things, there is no God, 47

The same is done each time when one reaches either Ass-Safaa or Al-Marwah except at the end simply leave. Walking from Ass-Safaa to Al-Marwah is counted as Safaa and Al-Marwah in this manner, starting from each trip, one should do Ramal (walking faster) between the 2 green posts. 48

and has his hair shaved or trimmed. Women are not permitted to shave their heads, they only need length of hair from the end. They should not do this in the Masjid in presence of non-mahram men. Hair from all the area of the head should be cut and not taking the hair from some parts and leaving some from other parts, as many people do. of the head or trimming of the hair, the Umrah is Hajj. He now exits the Ihraam, All prohibitions of Ihraam are now removed until the day of Tarwiyah, that is the eighth of Dhul-hijjah when one begins the rites of Hajj. Jabir said, When the day of Tarwiyah came they turned towards Mina and started the talbiyah and Muslim 50

Performing the Hajj

Performing the Hajj The rites of Hajj begin on the 8th of Dhul-hijjah and are completed on the 12th, or optionally 13th. On the morning of the 8th of Dhul-hijjah, the pilgrim should do everything for entering Ihraam as he did before the Ihraam of his Umrah, i.e. taking a bath, perfuming himself and changing into the Ihraam garments, etc. Then he should enter Ihraam making the niyyah of Hajj. Once he boards his transport, he should say: الل ه م ل ب ي ك ب ح ج Here I am, O Allah for the Hajj 54

He should then start the talbiyah and go to Mina. It is a Sunnah to reach Mina and pray the Dhuhr prayer. However if for any reason one gets delayed in departing from where he is staying, especially if he is near Masjid al-haraam, he must pray there and not delay his prayer for until reaching Mina. On arriving to Mina, it is Sunnah that one stays Fajr the next morning. 55

The prayers should be shortened in Mina, but not combined. reciting the Quraan and talbiyah and remembering Allah, and not just eating, drinking and gossiping. 56

This is the day of forgiveness. After the sun has risen the pilgrim should leave Mina and go to Arafah. He should continue calling out the talbiyah on the way and he should avoid pushing people when getting on and off the busses. 57

Having arrived in Arafah, one should wait until the sun passes its zenith after which the Imam gives prayed, shortening both and combining them together. It is a Sunnah to keep the khuthbah short and do the prayers early so that one spends more time in Wuqoof, the most important pillar of Hajj. Wuqoof linguistically means standing or stopping. In the context of Hajj it means performing those actions that were in Arafah (standing or sitting), facing the Qiblah, raising the hands praising and praying to Allah. This can be done in any part of Arafah. If one gets tired, he can take a break though he should spend his towards the end of the day. necessary to stand near or climb on to Mount Arafah. 58

Similarly it is not necessary to be in masjid Namirah, and partly outside so one should be careful if he is invalid without it. The best supplication of the day of Arafah is لا إل ه إ لا الل ه و ح د ه لا شر يك ل ه, ل ه ال م ل ك و ل ه ال ح م د, ي ح ي ي و مي يت, و ه و ع لى ك ل شي ء ق د ير No one is worthy of worship, except Allah alone, he has no partner, for Him is the kingdom and for Him are all the praises. He gives life and death and He has the control over all things The pilgrim should repeat these words as many times as possible, making other supplications, whichever he wishes as well. A compilation of general supplications can be found from page 88. 59

prayer. Muzdalifah The pilgrim stays the night of 10th Dhul-hijjah in Muzdalifah, sleeping and taking rest so as to gather his strength for the next day. 61

(Eid Day) This is the busiest day for the pilgrim. He prays Fajr at its early time, but not before its time as some ignorant people do. again can be done in any part of Muzdalifah, facing the Qiblah, raising the hands, praising Allah and becomes bright and leave Muzdalifah before the sun rises (differing from the idol worshippers of Makkah who used to leave Muzdalifah after the sun had risen). 62

One then returns to Mina for the Rami, i.e. throwing Jamarat-al- الل ه أ ك بر Jamarat-al- Mina Jamarat-aloolaa The preferred time for this Rami is soon after the The time permitted however, is from the mid of the 63

Abdullah ibn Umar said, whoever misses the Rami on this day until sunset then he should not do it until the Zawaal (when sun shifts from the meridian) on the next day. One stops saying the Talbiyah when starting this Rami. 64

that he did the Rami of the large Jamrah with seven his right and then said this is the place of the one on whom Surah Al Baqarah was revealed. The Messenger of Allah used the pebbles of the size of beans and he said O! people, beware of exaggeration in religion, indeed those before you were destroyed because of exaggeration in the religion Ibn Majah. x 7 الل ه أ ك بر 65

Rami should be done throwing seven pebbles, one throw, the pebble should fall in the basin around the wall and it is not necessary that the wall is hit. The pilgrim should not stay after doing the Rami, he should leave straight away. After the Rami, one should do the slaughter of the And is therefore arranged by the group one is with. Once one has done the Rami, the slaughter and the shaving of the head, the pilgrim makes the of Ihraam. Everything that was prohibited during Ihraam becomes permitted now except marital relation with ones spouse. One should take a bath, men can change into normal clothes and put perfume on and then go for tawaaf 66

is like the tawaaf of Umrah described earlier, except neither uncovering of the Hajj is invalid without either of these. makes the from the state of Ihraam. Everything is now permissible as was before entering Ihraam. One then returns back to Mina to spend the nights 67

Days of Tashreeq obligatory but there is no blame on someone who is not able to spend these nights in Mina due to a reason beyond his control. On both these days Rami of all three Jamarat is done. 68

Jamarat-al- Jamarat-al- د ع اء الل ه أ ك بر د ع اء الل ه أ ك بر Mina Jamarat-aloolaa الل ه أ ك بر (Jamarat al-oola) the pilgrim should walk a little further and then stand and face the Qiblah and possible. He should repeat the same after the Rami of the middle Jamarah (Jamarat ul-wustha), but not 69

The Hajj is complete with the Rami on the pilgrim however has the choice either to leave Mina before sunset or to stay another night and Dhul-hijjah) as well. It is essential that the pilgrim returns to al-masjid al-haram before leaving Makkah and the last thing he does is the Farewell Tawaaf. Tawaaf is the same as any Tawaaf without the Idhtibah (uncovering of the right shoulder) and Ramal. Farewell Tawaaf is waved off for women in their menstruation or post childbirth bleeding. 70

Visiting Madeenah

Visiting Madeenah When a pilgrim performs the Farewell Tawaaf and leaves Makkah he has completed his Hajj and Umrah. Visiting Madeenah is not a part of Hajj and Umrah though it has great reward if one is able to do so because: Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah said: Do not travel to visit any mosques except three: al-masjid al-haraam, this Mosque of mine and al-masjid al-aqsa. al-bukhaari, 1189; Muslim, 1397. 74

Jaabir reported that the Messenger of Allah said: The best places to which a person may travel are this Mosque of mine, and the Ancient House Narrated by Ahmad, 3/350 al-masjid an-nabawi Graveyard of Al-Baqee 75

Madeenah is a Haram (sanctuary) From Abu Hurairah from the Prophet who said: Madeenah is a Haram (sanctuary), so whoever commits evil therein or gives protection to an evildoer, the curse of Allah, the angels and all of mankind may be upon him. Allah will not accept of Resurrection. Narrated by Muslim, 2434 ; al- Bukhaari, 1867. 76

Abu Hurairah reported that The Prophet said: One prayer in this Mosque of mine is better than one thousand prayers offered anywhere else, except al-masjid al-haraam. Narrated by al-bukhaari, 1190; Muslim, 1394. Some people insist that they should stay there for eight days, completing forty prayers. This is based on a weak narration and is not proven in the Sunnah. al-masjid al-haraam. 77

one should say facing the grave, ال سلا م ع ل ي ك م ي ا ر س ول الل ه Then face the grave of Abu Bakr and say, Then face the grave of Umar and say, 78 ال سلا م ع ل ي ك م ي ا ا ب ا ب كر ال سلا م ع ل ي ك م ي ا ع م ر

has great reward because: Abu Hurairah narrated that the Prophet said: The area between my house and my minbar is one of the gardens of Paradise, and my minbar is on my cistern (hawdh) Narrated by al-bukhaari, 1196; Muslim, 1391. However pushing and harming people is not permissible for praying there as many do. 79

Visiting Masjid-al-Qubaa has great reward in it because: Narrated Sahl ibn Haneef: The Messenger of Allah said: Whoever goes out until he comes to this mosque meaning the Mosque of Qubaa 80

one should say, ال سلا م ع ل ي ك م أ ه ل ال دي ار م ن ال م و م ن ني و ال م س ل م ني و إ ن ا إ ن ش اء الل ه ل لا ح ق ون أ س ا ل الل ه ل ن ا و ل ك م ال ع اف ي ة Peace be upon you O dwellers of these abodes, believers and Muslims. We will, when Allah wills, join you. We ask Allah to grant salvation to us and you. 81

This offers a great opportunity for earning reward as the Messenger of Allah said; حديث أ ب و ه ر ي ر ة ر ضي الل ه ع ن ه : ق ال ر س ول الل ه ص لى الل ه ع ل ي ه و س ل م م ن ش ه د ال ج ن از ة ح ت ى ي ص لي ف ل ه ق ري اط و م ن ش ه د ح ت ى ت د ف ن ك ان ل ه ق ري اط ان ق يل و م ا ال ق ري اط ان ق ال م ث ل ال ج ب ل ني ال ع ظ يم ني. البخاري Whoever witness the funeral (of a Muslim) until he 134

دعاء صلاة الجنازة and whoever stays the burial will have the reward he said it is like two great mountains. The Funeral prayer is performed in standing position without any bowing or prostrations, Scholars agree that Funeral prayer is performed with four Takbeer i.e. saying Allahu-Akber followed by Tasleem (Salaam). With an intention in the heart, one follows the Imaam for each Takbeer, raising both hands to the level of shoulders or ears with the palms facing the Qiblah he says Allahu-Akber. 135

O Allah, whom amongst us You keep alive, then let such a life be upon Islam, and whom amongst us You take unto Yourself, then let such a death be upon faith. O Allah, if he was a doer of good increase his good deeds and if he was a sinner then overlook his sins, O Allah, do not deprive us of his reward and do not let us stray 137
