Nahmaduhu Wa Nusalli Alaa Rasoolihil Kareem,
Amma Baad!
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:
_ .
...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)
17
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.
18
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
what sincerity was. The Beloved Prophet of
19
Allah Almighty 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:
...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:
.,
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)
22
At yet another point the Almighty states
...and worship Him, as only His devoted
worshippers... (Surah Aaraaf, Verse 29)
It becomes crystal clear from these verses and the
Ahadith of RasoolAllah 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 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:
,
And perform Hajj (greater pilgrimage) and Umrah
(lesser pilgrimage) for Allah...
(Surah Baqarah, Verse 196)
23
At another place He states:
_ .
...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, Tabieen, 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
24
and Umrah, or either one of them, he should
perform them fully and properly just as
RasoolAllah 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 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.
25
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
26
rejected. Remember that when you say Labbaik
you should have in your mind that just as I am
saying Labbaik upon Allah Almightys 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.
27
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.
28
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 Naeemi 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
29
become tainted with sins again. (Ashatul Lamaat
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.
30
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 rakats 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 rakats Nafl for Ehram. After
Alhamdu Shareef, recite Surah Kaafiroon in the
first rakat and Surah Ikhlas in the second as this
is Sunnah. These two rakats should also be
prayed with the head covered. As soon as you
31
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:
,
,
, ._
.
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:
, .
, . .
.
32
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:
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 Quran, Durood Shareef,
Tauba-o-Istigfaar and Talbiyyah.
33
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 Masjid-
e-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 Kaaba. The dua made upon first
seeing the Kaaba will Insha Allah be accepted
34
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.
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.
35
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
rakats Waajibut Tawaf Salah. After Alhamdu
Shareef, recite Surah Kaafiroon in the first rakat
and Surah Ikhlas in the second and then make
dua.
Now, if possible, go to Multazim and cling to
the wall of the Kaaba and make dua.
Then go and drink Zam-Zam water as much as
you can.
36
Recite the following dua when drinking Zam-
Zam:
,
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 Saee.
Stand on mount Safa facing the Kaaba, make
the intention to perform Saee 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 Saee will Insha
Allah be accepted.
Upon reaching mount Marwa, turn towards the
Kaaba and make dua.
37
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 Masaa (area
where RasoolAllah performed Saee) and not
the new Masaa that has recently been
completed. Saee is not permissible in the new
Masaa. Therefore you must walk from Marwa
to Safa seven times or at a minimum four times
for the Saee to be valid. The reason for this is
that the new Masaa (Safa to Marwa) that has
been built by the Saudi authorities is outside the
area of Masaa that was ordained by
RasoolAllah . The Masaa that goes from
Marwa to Safa is within the bounds of the Nabvi
Masaa.
Upon reaching Marwa after completing seven
circuits, turn towards the Kaaba and make dua.
After completing Saee shave your hair or have
the hair cut.
Now your Umrah is complete and the
restrictions of Ehram are lifted from you.
38
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 Saee 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
Saee will be the Saee of Hajj for the person who
makes intention for Hajj e Ifrad. He has the
option of not performing Saee 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.
39
With your head covered perform two rakats
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 rakats Waajibut Tawaf Salah upon
completing the Tawaf.
If you want to perform the Saee 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.
40
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-Muakkadah.
If you get to Arafat later than that then perform
Wudhu correctly and perform Zuhr Salah.
41
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 Jamaat 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.
42
Wake up early for Fajr Salah and perform it with
Jamaat 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.
43
This restriction is lifted after performing Tawaf-
e-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 rakats
Waajibut Tawaf by Maqam-e-Ibrahim.
Make dua at Multazim and then drink Zam-
Zam.
If you have not already completed the Saee 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.
44
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.
45
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
Quran Shareef and perform voluntary (Nafl)
prayers or do Qaza of the past missed Salahs.
46
After Tawaf e Widaa, leave Makkah and head
towards Madinah Munawwarah to present
yourself in the blessed court of RasoolAllah
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.
47
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 Tawaf-
e-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
Kaaba. It is Sunnah to do Ramal (walk hurriedly)
in the first three circuits, and then Saee 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
48
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
49
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.
50
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
51
performing Hajj-e-Tamattu (also known as a
Mutamatti) 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:
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)
52
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.

Miqat
Miqat is the place beyond which it is not
permissible for people to go without Ehram if
they are going to Makkah even if they are going
for business or any other purpose. There are five
Miqats:
(1) Dhul Hulaifah This is the Miqat when
coming from Madinah. Nowadays it is known
as Abyar-e-Ali. People who go to Madinah
before Hajj would also put on their Ehram
from this point when going to Makkah.
(2) Zaat-e-Arq This is the Miqat for people from
Iraq.
75
(3) Johfah This is the Miqat for people coming
from Syria but Johfah has now become an
isolated and abandoned place. There are very
few people who know about it and therefore
people coming from Syria put on the Ehram at
a place called Raabig as it is closer than Johfah.
(4) Qarn This is the Miqat for people coming
from Najd and it close to Taif.
(5) Yalamlam For people coming from Yemen.
These Miqats are not only for the people
coming from those countries but for anyone
who crosses those Miqats regardless of which
country they are from.
If you do not pass the actual Miqat crossing,
put on the Ehram when you are in line with
any of the points of Miqat.
The Miqat for people from India is Mount
Yalamlam. If you do not know where that is
76
then you should ask. If you cannot find anyone
to ask then use your own judgement and that
will be the Miqat for you.
If it is impossible to find out where the Miqat
is in any direction then put on your Ehram
when you are two Manzils (approximately 62
kms) from Makkah.
There is no harm in putting on the Ehram
before the Miqat; in fact it is better as long as it
is in the days of Hajj. It is forbidden to put it
on before the month of Shawwal.
Before the Journey for Hajj
Hajj is an important part of Islam and therefore
performing it should purely be for the Pleasure
of Allah Almighty. It should not be for show or
fame.
It is necessary to take permission from the
parents before going for a voluntary (Nafl) Hajj.
If they need you to look after them then that
should be given precedent. There is no need to
77
seek permission for a Compulsory (Fard) Hajj
and even if they refuse permission you are
allowed to perform a Compulsory Hajj.
Debts, goods belonging to others, the rights of
others etc should all be repaid before you leave
or at least have them forgiven by the owners or
ask for extra time to pay it off.
Salah, Fast, Zakat etc that have been missed
should be made up or a firm intention should be
made that they will be made up as soon as
possible.
Repent and seek forgiveness for all past sins and
make a firm intention to stay away from sins in
the future.
All the expenses of Hajj should be from lawful
and pure income.
Ensure that your family has enough money and
essentials that they will need until you return.
Before leaving, meet with your family, friends,
neighbours, etc and seek forgiveness from them
78
for any mistakes you made or if you hurt or
upset them in any way.
Give charity according to your means.
Learn the rules, regulations, essentials,
obligations and likes and dislikes of Hajj before
you leave so that you can perform Hajj correctly.
Similarly, learn the dislikes and things that
invalidate the Hajj so that you can safeguard
your Hajj.
How to Wear the Ehram
When intending to wear the Ehram, first of all
perform Miswak, wudhu and then perform ghusl
well. If unable to take a bath, just do wudhu and
wear the Ehram whilst in a state of wudhu.
Men can cut their hair short in order to ensure
the hair does not fall in the state of Ehram.
Otherwise they should ensure the hair is well
combed and oil is applied.
79
Before taking a bath clip the nails, trim the
moustache, remove pubic and underarm hair
and you should also try and remove hair from
around the anus.
Put scent (Itr) on your body and on the Ehram
cloths. If it is a scent that will leave a mark on
the Ehram then do not apply it on the Ehram.
Men should remove all stitched clothing as well
as their socks. Take one new or washed
unstitched piece of cloth and wrap it around
your lower body. Then take another piece and
ensure your back, stomach and both shoulders
are covered.
Setting off for Hajj
It is not permissible to enter the Miqat without
Ehram therefore it is better to put on the Ehram
(with intention) from home. If relatives are
going to come to the airport and put garlands
(of flowers) on you then wait until you get to the
airport to make the intention (Niyyah).
80
If it is not a disliked (Makrooh) time for Salah
then perform two rakats Nafl Salah (for travel)
and then make the following dua:
. :
, .
,
.
, .
., _
, .
.,
O Allah! With Your help I am intending to leave, I
have turned towards You, I depend on You and I
Trust only You. O Allah! You alone are my support
and You alone are the centre of my aspirations and
ambitions. O Allah! You are more for me than all
those things which worry me as well as all those
things which do not worry me as well as all those
things which You know better than me. The one who
seeks Your protection is the respectful one and there
is no one worthy of worship except You. O Allah!
Make piety the provision of this journey for me,
forgive my sins and no matter what other things I
think about, always turn my thoughts towards
goodness. (Baihiqi Shareef)
81
If you want, you can add the following to this dua
also:
O Allah! I seek Your Protection from the difficulties
of travel, from the evils of returning, from trouble
after comfort, from upsetting or grieving the helpless
and from seeing evil or bad things in my possessions
or my family. (Muslim Shareef Hadith 3340)
When Leaving Home
When leaving home, exit with the left foot first.
When leaving home recite the following dua:
, .
_ .
I leave with Allahs Name and I trust in Allah. O
Allah! We seek Your Protection from making
mistakes or going astray from the right path, or
commit tyranny or have tyranny committed upon us,
82
or commit ignorance or have ignorance committed
upon us. (Tirmidhi Shareef Hadith 3755)
When leaving home, it is recommended to
recite Ayatul Kursi, Surah Nasr, and the 4 Quls
with Bismillah Shareef before each and then
recite Bismillah Shareef at the end. If you recite
this when leaving then Insha Allah you will
not encounter any difficulties and will return
home safely.
Pray 2 rakats Nafl Salah in your local Masjid if
you have time.
When Meeting Relatives
Recite the following dua when meeting family
members and relatives:
,
_
. .
O Allah! I am intending to perform Hajj. Make it
easy for me and accept it from me. I intend to perform
Hajj and have worn the Ehram for it only for the
Pleasure of Allah.
Those performing Hajj-e-Tamattu should recite
the following after finishing Salah:
. .
84
O Allah! I am intending to perform Umrah. Make it
easy for me and accept it from me. I intend to perform
Umrah and have worn the Ehram for it only for the
Pleasure of Allah.
Those performing Hajj-e-Qiran should recite the
following after finishing Salah:
. .
.
.
,
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
85
and the universe is for You. There is no one worthy of
worship except You.
Recite the Talbiyyah three times and stop at
each place where there are full stops. After
reciting the Talbiyyah, recite Durood Shareef
and the make dua.
Here is one dua that can be made at this time:
O Allah! I seek from You Your Pleasure and ask from
You Paradise and seek refuge from Your Wrath and
from Hellfire. (Bahar-e-Shariat Vol 6 Page 31)
Another dua that can be made at this time is:
, .
_ .
.,
.
, .
, .
, .
, .
, .
, .
86
, .
, .
, .
O Allah! My hair, skin, bones and blood have
forsaken women, scents and all those things which
You have forbidden for those in Ehram and through
this I seek Your Pleasure. I am present in Your Court
and all goodness is in Your Divine Hands. All
inclination and good deeds are for You. I have
presented myself in Your Court O Possessor of great
blessings and graces. I have presented myself in Your
Court being inclined towards You and fearing You. I
have presented myself in Your Court O Sustainer of
all creations. I present myself in Your Court time and
time again understanding worship to be truthful and
a right that needs to be fulfilled. I am presenting
myself in Your Court, I am presenting myself in Your
Court O Majestic One. I am presenting myself in
Your Court, I am presenting myself in Your Court
like a runaway slave. I am presenting myself in Your
87
Court, I am presenting myself in Your Court O One
Who removes difficulties. I am presenting myself in
Your Court, I am presenting myself in Your Court, I
am Your slave. I am presenting myself in Your Court,
I am presenting myself in Your Court O One Who
forgives sins. O Allah! Help me in performing this
compulsory Hajj, accept it from me and make me
from those people who are obedient to You and
believe in Your Promise and obey Your Orders. Make
me from the group that You are pleased with and
those whom You have pleased and whom You have
accepted.
It is necessary to recite the Talbiyyah at least
once with the tongue for Ehram. Even a dumb
person should mime the words with his lips.
Intention (Niyyah) is a condition of Ehram. If
the Talbiyyah is recited without intention then
the Ehram is not valid. Similarly, only the
intention is not sufficient; the Talbiyyah or
similar words (like Subhan Allah or Alhamdu
Lillah) must be recited.
88
When reciting Talbiyyah the intention (Niyyah)
should also be made. Niyyah is from the heart
but it is better to state the intention with the
tongue also. For example, when performing
Hajj-e-Qiran state Labbaik bil Umrah wal Hajj.
Those performing Tamattu should say Labbaik
bil Umrah and those performing Ifrad should
say Labbaik bil Hajj.
If performing Hajj on behalf of or for someone
else then the intention should be made in the
heart for performing Hajj on their behalf and if
said with the tongue it should be said in the
following manner: Labbaik bil Hajj (or Umrah
if performing Tamattu) an Fulaan. (Replace the
word Fulaan with the name of the person on
whose behalf you are performing Hajj).
If a small child (who does not understand
anything) makes intention for Ehram himself or
performs Hajj it does not count as his
compulsory Hajj. Rather, his guardian should do
these things on his behalf but should not pray
the 2 rakats after Tawaf on behalf of the child. If
89
a brother and the father are with the child, the
father should perform the rights on behalf of the
child.
If an older child (who has not yet reached
maturity) performs all the duties of Hajj and
misses some things or makes mistakes, there is
no penalty (damm or kaffarah) payable by him.
If a guardian performs the duties on behalf of a
small child and the child does something that is
not allowed, there is no penalty payable by the
father.
If someone wears an Ehram on behalf of a child
then the child should be dressed in the same
unstitched clothing and should be kept away
from all those things that are forbidden for one
in Ehram.
If an immature child voids his Hajj then it does
not need to be repeated, even if he is of an age
that he understands things.
If the intention when saying Labbaik is for
Hajj-e-Qiran or Ifrad then that is what it will be,
90
regardless of whether it was said with the
tongue or not.
If a person goes with the intention of Hajj and
does not remember to make the intention
(Niyyah) for Hajj when putting on the Ehram
then it will still count as Hajj. If there was no
intention at all then until he does not start the
Tawaf he has the authority to declare the Ehram
for Hajj or Umrah. If he has completed at least
one circuit of Tawaf then it will be an Ehram for
Umrah.
If a person goes with the intention of Hajj but
does not remember to make the intention
(Niyyah) for Hajj when putting on the Ehram
and then has sexual relations before beginning
Tawaf, or something impedes him from
completing his Hajj and he has to stay there (this
is known as Ihsaar), then he has to repeat his
Umrah, there is no need to repeat the Hajj.
91

Entry into Makkah Shareef
On the way from Jeddah to Makkah you will see
two pillars near a place called Bahrah. The

As you get closer to the Haram, lower your face
with humility and recite Talbiyyah and Durood
Shareef in abundance.
When you get close to Makkah Shareef recite:

O Allah! Grant me peace and contentment from this
(blessed city) and grant me lawful sustenance in it.
(Bahar-e-Shariat Vol 6 Page 38)
When you enter the city of Makkah recite the
following dua:

,
106
, .
. .
.
O Allah! You are my Lord and I am Your slave and
this city is Your city. I have come to You fleeing Your
Punishment in order to fulfil my duty to You and to
seek Your Mercy and Pleasure. I am powerless and
beg from You the ability to fear Your punishment. I
beg of You to accept me through Your Grace and
enter me into Your Mercy. Forgive my mistakes
through Your untold forgiveness and help me fulfil
this obligation of mine. O Allah! Grant me freedom
from Your Punishment and open for me the doors of
Your Mercy and enter me into it and safeguard me
from Satan the rejected.
(Bahar-e-Shariat Vol 6 Page 38)
After entering Makkah Shareef go to your hotel

If a bath is not possible then perform Wudhu
carefully and correctly and then proceed
towards Haram Shareef. Along the way recite
Talbiyyah loudly.

When entering Masjid-e-Haraam it is better to

recite the following dua:
_.
With Allahs name (I am entering) and all praises are
for Allah and may blessings descend on the Beloved
Prophet . O Allah! Open for me the doors of Your
Mercy and enter me into it. O Allah! I supplicate to you
at this place that You shower blessings on our Master,
Your Bondman and Prophet, Sayyiduna RasoolAllah
and have mercy on me and conceal my faults and
forgive my sins, remove from my neck the burden (of
my sins). (Tabyiynul Haqaiq Sharh Kanzul Daqaiq Vol 4
Page 287)
108
Seeing the Kaaba
After you take a few steps inside Haram Shareef
you will see the Kaaba. The dua that is made
upon first setting eyes on the Kaaba is accepted.
It is better that when you first sight the Kaaba,
recite Durood Shareef and then supplicate in the
following manner, O Lord! Whenever and
wherever I supplicate to you for anything
lawful, accept my supplication and enter me
into Paradise without any reckoning. When you
first set eyes on the Kaaba recite three times,

O Allah! Your name is Salam (Peace) and Peace is only
through Your Court, grant us a life of peace. O Allah!
Increase the majesty, dignity, respect and awe of this
House of Yours even more and through the majesty,
dignity and respect of this House increase the dignity,
respect and good deeds of all those who come here and
perform Hajj or Umrah. I seek refuge of the Lord of
this House from debt, poverty, a contracting heart and
punishment of the grave.

members and for death with faith etc and then

a little bit so that you are in line with Hajr-e-
Aswad and raise your hand up to your ears in
such a manner that the palms are facing Hajr-e-
Aswad and recite the following:

Allahs Name I begin with. All praises are for Allah

the Prophet of Allah . (Fatawa-e-Razvia Vol 10 Pe 812)

How to Perform Istilam?
Now perform Istilam of Hajr-e-Aswad. In other
words, place your hands on Hajr-e-Aswad and
place your lips between your hands and kiss it
in such a manner that no sound is made (of
kissing). If this is not possible due to
overcrowding then do not trouble or cause
discomfort to anyone. Rather, touch Hajr-e-
Aswad with your hands or a knife or stick and
then kiss that. If that too is not possible then
raise your hands towards Hajr-e-Aswad and
kiss your fingers.
When performing Istilam of Hajr-e-Aswad recite
the following dua:
, .
Allah in the name of, the most Affectionate the
Merciful. O Allah! Forgive my sins, purify my heart,

that the Kaaba is on your left hand side and you

walk hurriedly with forceful and narrow paces
while shaking the shoulders like a brave soldier
going into the battlefield.

Hamd. Allahs Name I begin with. All praises
are for Allah and Allah is the greatest. Peace and
blessings be upon the Prophet of Allah and

Sunnah of Your Beloved Prophet I bear witness
that there is no one worthy of worship except Allah,
who is One, He has no partner, and I bear witness that
Hazrat Muhammed is His Beloved bondman and
Prophet. O Allah! I seek from You forgiveness and
pardon in this world and the world hereafter for always

Your Tawaf is now complete.
If a person cannot recite the specific duas
mentioned in this book or other books for any
reason then he should recite Durood Shareef,
Istigfaar etc or should make dua in his own
language.
Rules Regarding Tawaf
Intention (Niyyah) is compulsory (Fard) in
Tawaf. Without it the Tawaf is not valid.
It is not necessary that when making the
intention for Tawaf that the specific Tawaf is
127
also mentioned in the intention (e.g. Tawaf-e-
Umrah, Tawaf-e-Ziarat etc). Just making the
intention for the Tawaf is sufficient for all
Tawafs.
If the Tawaf is not completed in the correct
manner e.g. if the Tawaf is started from the left
etc then the Tawaf must be repeated. If it is not
repeated and a person leaves then a penalty
(damm) becomes obligatory (Wajib).
Tawaf must be performed from outside the
Hateem. If the Tawaf is done inside the Hateem
then it is necessary to repeat the Tawaf. If it is
not repeated then a penalty (damm) becomes
obligatory (Wajib).
If there is doubt as to how many rounds of
Tawaf have been completed then it is better to
start again if the Tawaf is a compulsory (Fard)
or obligatory (Wajib) Tawaf.
If a competent, just person tells you how many
rounds have been completed then it is better to
act upon his word. If two competent, just people
128
tell you how many rounds have been
completed, then you should definitely act upon
that.
If there is doubt upon how many rounds have
been completed in a voluntary (Nafli) Tawaf,
then you should act upon your best judgement.
Tawaf of the Kaaba must be performed from
inside Masjid-e-Haraam. If it is performed from
the outside it will not be valid.
If you are helping a sick, elderly person perform
Tawaf (e.g. pushing a wheelchair etc), then your
Tawaf will also be fulfilled if you make intention
even if the two Tawafs are with different
intentions (Tawaf-e-Umrah, voluntary Tawaf
etc).
If a person interrupts Tawaf in order to perform
Fard Salah or funeral prayer or to make fresh
wudhu then he only needs to continue from
where he left off when he returns. There is no
need to start again. If a person does restart the
129
Tawaf there is no need to complete the rounds
of the Tawaf that was interrupted.
Ramal (walking hurriedly) is only Sunnah in
the first three rounds of the Tawaf. It is disliked
(Makrooh) to perform it in all seven rounds.
If Ramal is forgotten in the first round, only
perform it in the second and third rounds.
If Ramal is not performed in the first three
rounds for any reason, then do not perform
Ramal in any of the final four rounds.
If Ramal cannot be performed due to
overcrowding then do not delay the Tawaf.
Walk normally and only perform Ramal at
places where it is possible.
Ramal is only Sunnah in those Tawafs after
which Saee has to be performed. If a person
wants to perform the Saee of Tawaf-e-Qudoom
after Tawaf-e-Ziarat, then it is not necessary to
perform Ramal during the Tawaf-e-Qudoom.
130
It is Sunnah to perform Ijtiba (uncovering the
right shoulder) in all seven rounds of the Tawaf
after which Saee will be performed.
Ijtiba must only be performed when
performing Tawaf. At no other time in Ehram
should the shoulder be uncovered.
Forbidden Things in Tawaf
The following are forbidden (Haraam) in Tawaf
even if it is a voluntary (Nafli) Tawaf.
1) Performing Tawaf without wudhu.
2) One quarter of any part of the body that is
amongst the items that must be covered (Satr)
becoming uncovered (e.g. thigh of a man, ears
and wrist etc of a woman).
3) Performing Tawaf on any kind of conveyance
(camel, wheelchair etc) or on someones
shoulders without a valid reason.
4) Performing Tawaf while crawling or sliding on
all fours without a valid reason.
131
5) Performing Tawaf in the wrong direction i.e.
having the Kaaba on the right when performing
Tawaf.
6) Passing from inside the Hateem when
performing Tawaf.
7) Performing less than seven rounds.
Disliked Things in Tawaf
The following items are disliked (Makrooh) in
Tawaf.
1) Engaging in idle chat whilst performing Tawaf.
2) To sell anything whilst performing Tawaf.
3) To buy anything whilst performing Tawaf.
4) Reciting any verses (of poetry) other than verses
of Hamd, Naats or Manqabats.
5) Doing zikr, dua or recitation of the Quran in a
very loud voice.
6) Performing Tawaf in unclean clothes.
7) Not performing Ramal where required to do so.
132
8) Not doing Ijtiba when required to do so.
9) Not kissing Hajr-e-Aswad when required to do
so without a valid excuse.
10) Separating the rounds of the Tawaf, meaning
doing some rounds and then resting (without a
valid reason) or going and doing some other
work and then completing the rest of the
rounds.
11) Beginning another Tawaf without praying the
Salah for the first Tawaf. However, if it is a time
when Salah cannot be performed then multiple
Tawafs can be completed and then the Salah (2
rakats) for each of them can be performed
together. If you forget to perform the Salah for
one Tawaf and begin a second Tawaf, if less
than one round has been completed, then the
Tawaf should be stopped and the Salah should
be prayed first. If one full round has been
completed then the Tawaf should be completed
and the Salah for both Tawafs should be
performed after the second Tawaf.
12) Eating whilst performing Tawaf.
133
13) Performing Tawaf whilst there is an urge to go
to the bathroom or an urge to break wind.
Salah of Tawaf
Allah Almighty states in the Holy Quran:
_.
...and take the place where Ibrahim stood, as your
place of prayer; (Surah Baqarah Verse 125)
After completing the Tawaf come to Maqam-e-
Ibrahim. First of all cover the right shoulder so that
you are no longer in a state of Ijtiba because Ijtiba is
only whilst performing Tawaf and not for any other
act. In fact, it is disliked (Makrooh) to perform
Salah whilst in a state of Ijtiba.
If possible and there is space, perform two rakats
Salah in such a place that Maqam-e-Ibrahim is
between you and the Kaaba. If there is no space
then the Salah can be performed anywhere in
Masjid-e-Haraam but it is preferred to pray in line
with Maqam-e-Ibrahim.
134
This Salah is obligatory (Wajib) after each Tawaf.
Recite Surah Kafiroon in the first Rakat and Surah
Ikhlas in the second. If it is a disliked time for
performing Salah (sunrise, midday or after Asr
until sunset) then wait until that time has passed
and then perform the Salah.
It is Sunnah to perform this Salah immediately
after completing the Tawaf as long as it is not a
disliked time for performing Salah. There
should not be any gap between the Tawaf and
the Salah (without a valid reason). If for some
reason it cannot be prayed right away then it
should be performed later and will be valid but
to delay it unnecessarily is considered bad.
When Saee needs to be performed after Tawaf,
the Salah should be performed immediately and
then dua should be made at Multazim. When
performing a Tawaf that is not followed by Saee
then dua should be made at Multazim first and
the Salah should be performed at Maqam-e-
Ibrahim.
135
After performing the Salah of Tawaf the
following dua should be recited:
, .
, .
, .
O Allah! You know my apparent and my hidden;
accept my repentance and You know my needs so grant
me what I desire. You know what is in my heart so
forgive my sins. O Allah! I seek from You faith that
remains firm in my heart and seek true belief so that I
firmly believe that I will receive everything that You
have destined for me. Grant me the guidance to be
satisfied with my destiny. O Most Merciful One! You
136
are my helper in this world and the world hereafter.
Grant me death with faith and include me amongst
Your beloved slaves. O our Lord! Do not leave any of
our sins unpardoned at this blessed place. Do not leave
any of our sadness or worries unsolved and do not
leave any of our needs unfulfilled. Make all our work
easy for us and expand our chests for us and illuminate
our hearts and grant us death with good deeds. O Allah!
Grant us death on Islam and include us amongst the
pious without any test or trial. (Ahkam-e-Hajj-o-Umrah
Pages 96-97)
Multazim
After completing Tawaf and performing 2
rakats Salah at Maqam-e-Ibrahim proceed to
Multazim.
The east wall of the Kaaba between Hajr-e-
Aswad and the door of the Kaaba is called
Multazim.
This is a place where duas are accepted.
Come here and hug the wall of the Kaaba in
such a manner that your stomach touches the
137
Kaaba. Put your right cheek and left cheek
against the wall of the Kaaba alternatively.
Place your arms and hands above your head
and against the Kaaba and beseech Allah in the
following manner:
_ .
, .
, .
, .
.,
138
O Allah! O Lord of this blessed House! Save our necks
and those of our forefathers, mothers, brothers and
children from the fire of Hell. O the Forgiver, the
Merciful, the Bountiful and the Benefactor! O Allah!
Acquit us well in all our dealings and save us from
disgrace in this world and punishment in the hereafter.
O Allah! I am Your slave and the child of Your slave. I
am standing beneath the door of Your House. I am
begging in front of You and am seeking Your blessings
and am afraid of Your punishment. O ever Bountiful
One! O Allah! I beseech You to grant my prayers
acceptance and lessen the weight of my sins. Correct me
in my deeds and purify my heart and provide light in
my grave and forgive my sins. I beg You for a high
place in Paradise, accept it. (Bahar-e-Shariat Vol 6 Pages
50-51)
Well of Zam-Zam
After completing Tawaf, Salah of Tawaf and
going to Multazim, go to the well of Zam-Zam
and drink plenty of water as this is preferred
(Mustahab).
139
Drink Zam-Zam standing up, whilst facing the
Qibla, recite Bismillah before drinking and
Alhamdulillah after drinking.
After drinking Zam-Zam take the remaining
water in the glass and rub it on your face and
body.
Recite the following dua when drinking Zam-
Zam:
O Allah! Bestow on me beneficial knowledge,
abundant sustenance, acceptable deeds and cure
from all illnesses.
(Durr-e-Mansur Vol 5 Page 34)
After drinking Zam-Zam perform Istilam of
Hajr-e-Aswad one more time.
140
Exiting Masjid-e-Haraam
After completing Istilam for a ninth time
proceed towards Mount Safa.
Exit through Baab-us-Safa and arrive at Mount
Safa (you can use any other door also to reach
Mount Safa).
Performing Saee
Allah Almighty states:
Undoubtedly Safa and Marwa are among the symbols
of Allah; so there is no sin on him, for whoever
performs pilgrimage of this House (of Allah) or the
Umrah (lesser pilgrimage), to go back and forth
between them... (Surah Baqarah Verse 158)
When you are close to Mount Safa recite:
.
141
I also start from the place where Allah started from (as
is mentioned in the verse) Undoubtedly Safa and
Marwa are amongst the symbols of Allah.
(Tareeqa-e-Hajj-o-Umrah Page 56)
Stand on Mount Safa and face the Kaaba.
Recite Subhan Allah, Alhamdu Lillah, Allahu
Akbar and Durood Shareef etc.
This is a place where duas are accepted. Make
dua with sincerity and devotion for yourself,
your family, the whole Muslim Ummah and for
death with faith.
With complete humility and devotion recite the
following dua:

Allah is the Greatest! Allah is the Greatest! There is no
deity except Allah and Allah is the Greatest! Allah is
the Greatest and all praise is for Allah! All praise is for
Allah Who guided us, all praise is for Allah Who
granted us blessings, all praise is for Allah Who
inspired us, all praise is for Allah Who guided us and if
He would not have guided us we would not have been
guided. None has the right to be worshipped except
Allah, He is One without any partner. For Him is the
kingdom of heaven and earth and all praise is for Him.
He gives life and death and He Himself lives and never
dies. In His Hand is goodness and He has control over
all things. None has the right to be worshipped except
Allah, He is One and is true to His Promise. He helped
His slaves and gave strength to His troops and defeated
the infidels Himself. None has the right to be
worshipped except Allah, we worship Him sincerely
even though the infidels do not like it. All praise is for
Allah day and night and for Him is praise in the
heavens and on the earth and in the early morning and
at midday. He gives life to the dead and death to the
144
living and gives life to the earth after it has died and
that is how you will be raised. O Lord! Just as you have
guided me towards Islam I beg You not to tear me away
from Islam until I die. All praise is for Allah and none
has the right to be worshipped except Allah and Allah
is the Greatest. There is no power or strength to do
good or stay away from sins except through the help of
Allah Who is Exalted and Majestic. O Lord! Enable me
to live according to the Sunnah of the Prophet and
give me death in his community and save me from
trials and tribulations. O Lord! Make me amongst those
who love You and love Your Prophets, Messengers,
Angels and pious people. O Lord! Make my work easy
for me and save me from difficulties. O Lord! Keep me
alive upon the Sunnah of Your Prophet and make
me die as a Muslim and keep me close to good deeds
and make me an inheritor of the highest Paradise and
forgive my sins on the Day of Judgement. O Lord! We
seek complete faith and a sincere heart from You and
seek beneficial knowledge and true belief and the right
path. We seek protection from all calamities and
difficulties and seek complete peace and tranquillity
forever and the ability to be thankful for the peace that
we receive and we seek freedom from being dependent
on people. O Lord! Send peace and blessings upon our
145
master Muhammad and on his family and
companions in the same quantity as Your creations,
Your Pleasure, the weight of Your Throne and
according to the longevity of Your Words for as long as
Your Words are recited and for as long as those who are
forgetful forget to remember You. (Bahar-e-Shariat Vol 6
Pages 52-53)
Now make the intention for Saee in your heart
and recite the words with the tongue:
, .
_ -
O Allah! I intend to perform seven rounds of Saee
between Safa and Marwa purely for Your Pleasure.
Make it easy for me and accept it from me.
(Bahar-e-Shariat Vol 6 Page 53)
Now begin walking towards Marwa. When men
reach Meelain Akhdarain (marked by green
lights) they should jog between the lights.
Ensure that no one is troubled when you jog and
stop jogging when you reach the second green
light.
146
When jogging between Meelain Akhdarain in all
rounds of Saee recite:
.
, .
.,
_ -
. .
.,
No one is worthy of worship except Allah, He is One
and has no partner. For Him is the Kingdom and for
Him is all praise. He gives life and death, He is Alive
and death will never come to Him. In His Hands is all
goodness and He can do all things.
(Bahar-e-Shariat, Vol 6 Page 54)
148
Upon reaching Marwa climb to the top and
stand facing the Kaaba.
Just like at Safa recite Subhan Allah, Alhamdu
Lillah, Allahu Akbar and Durood Shareef etc.
Make dua just like the duas that were made at
Safa.
Now you have completed one round of Saee.
Just as you recited Durood Shareef, Zikr and
duas whilst going from Safa to Marwa, walk
back from Marwa to Safa whilst reciting similar
prayers.
Run between Meelain Akhdarain just as before.
After passing the green lights walk at normal
pace until you reach Mount Safa.
Just as before, face the Kaaba and recite Subhan
Allah, Alhamdu Lillah, Allahu Akbar and
Durood Shareef and duas.
You have now completed two rounds of Saee.
Complete seven rounds of Saee in this manner.
The seventh round will finish at Marwa.
149
After completing Saee, it is Sunnah to come into
Masjid-e-Haraam and perform two rakats Salah
near the Mataf (where Tawaf is done).
Rules regarding Saee
Perform Saee immediately after Tawaf. It is
against Sunnah and disliked to delay it
unnecessarily.
If Saee needs to be performed after Tawaf then
you need to come back to Hajr-e-Aswad and
perform Istilam again before going to Safa. If
Saee does not need to be performed, there is no
need to perform Istilam again.
Remain busy in Durood and Zikr and climb Safa
until you can see the Kaaba.
If there is not overcrowding you will be able to
see the Kaaba right away upon reaching Safa.
Therefore it is not necessary to climb to the top
of Safa as this is against the way of Ahle Sunnah
and is the way of those with false beliefs and
those with lack of knowledge.
150
A condition of Saee is that it must be performed
after Tawaf or the majority of the Tawaf has
been completed. Therefore if Saee is performed
before Tawaf or before at least four rounds of
Tawaf have been completed then that Saee will
not be valid.
Another condition of Saee is that the Ehram
must be worn before Saee regardless of whether
Hajj or Umrah is being performed.
If the Saee for Hajj is being performed before
the day of Arafat then the Ehram must be worn
for Saee. If it being done after the day of Arafat
then to wear the Ehram is Sunnah.
It is compulsory (Wajib) to have Ehram for Saee
in Umrah. Therefore, if the hair is shaved after
Tawaf and then Saee is performed then the
Saee will be valid but because a Wajib was
missed a penalty (damm) must be paid.
Purity is not a condition for Saee. Therefore a
menstruating woman or a man who needs to
take a compulsory bath are both allowed to
perform Saee.
151
It is compulsory (Wajib) to perform Saee on foot
(unless there is a valid reason). If someone
performs Saee on a conveyance or wheelchair
without a valid reason then a penalty (damm)
becomes compulsory.
If it is not Makrooh time, it is better to pray 2
rakats Salah in the Masjid after Saee.
The seven rounds must be completed one after
the other consecutively. It is disliked to do them
separately one by one.
Rules regarding Tawaf and Saee
It is better and more careful for women to go for
Tawaf and Saee late at night when there is less
crowding.
As a general rule, it is recommended that
women should perform their Salah in their
homes or hotels as there is more reward for
them in this.
When in Makkah Mukarramah women should
try and perform one Tawaf each night (as there
152
is less of a rush at that time) and when in
Madinah Munawwarah they should go and
present blessings and salutations in the morning
and afternoon.
Permissible Actions in Tawaf & Saee
1) Greeting one another.
2) Replying to a greeting.
3) Talking out of necessity.
4) Asking religious questions.
5) Answering religious questions.
6) Drinking water.
7) Reciting verses of Hamd, Naat and Manqabat in
a soft voice.
8) Eating is allowed during Saee but not during
Tawaf.
Disliked Actions during Saee
Taking unnecessary breaks between the rounds
of Saee.
153
Buying anything.
Selling anything.
Engaging in idle chat.
Not climbing Mount Safa.
Not climbing Mount Marwa.
(Men) not running where required without a
valid reason.
Delaying the Saee after Tawaf for an extended
amount of time without reason.
Not covering the parts of the body that must be
covered.
Looking around unnecessarily (this is even more
disliked during Tawaf).
Mens and Womens Tawaf & Saee
Men will perform Ijtiba (uncovering the right
shoulder).
Women will not perform Ijtiba.
Men will perform Ramal during Tawaf.
154
Women will not perform Ramal during Tawaf.
Men will jog during Saee (at the allocated places)
Women will not jog during Saee.
Men will kiss Hajr-e-Aswad (as long as no one is
troubled in the process).
If a womans body will touch a non permissible
male then she will not attempt to kiss Hajr-e-
Aswad.
Men will touch Rukn-e-Yamaani (as long as no one
is troubled in the process).
If a womans body will touch a non permissible
male then she will not attempt to touch Rukn-e-
Yamaani.
Men will try and be as close to the Kaaba as
possible (as long as no one is troubled in the
process).
If a womans body will touch a non permissible
male then she will not attempt to be close to the
Kaaba.
155
Men will try and get as close to the well (or taps) of
Zam-Zam as possible (as long as no one is troubled
in the process).
If a womans body will touch a non permissible
male then she will not attempt to get close to the
well of Zam-Zam.
Pay Attention!
The first Tawaf performed by a person
performing Hajj-e-Ifrad will be Tawaf-e-
Qudoom and the Saee will be for Hajj. A person
performing Hajj-e-Ifrad also has the permission
to perform Saee after Tawaf-e-Ziarat.
The first Tawaf and Saee performed by a person
performing Hajj-e-Tamattu is for Umrah.
Therefore a person performing it will shave his
hair or cut it after Saee and will then remove the
Ehram as his Umrah has been completed. Now
these people will wear the Ehram again on the
8
th
of Dhul Hijjah and complete all the stages of
Hajj (the Ehram can be adopted before the 8
th
of
Dhul Hijjah).
156
For those performing Hajj-e-Qiran the first
Tawaf and Saee is also for Umrah. Their
Umrah is complete but these people will not
have their head shaved or hair cut nor will they
remove their Ehram. Rather they will remain in
Ehram and will abide by all the rules of Ehram
and will continue reciting Talbiyyah whilst
waiting for the days of Hajj.
Those performing Hajj-e-Qiran must perform
their Tawaf-e-Qudoom after this Tawaf and
Saee. If they want they can perform the Saee
for Hajj with the Tawaf-e-Qudoom.
Those performing Hajj-e-Ifrad will also remain
in Ehram and will abide by all the restrictions of
Ehram.
Whilst Waiting for the Days of Hajj
Whilst waiting for the days of Hajj you should
perform as many Nafli Tawafs as possible (Nafli
Tawafs do not include Ramal or Saee).
157
Do not be lazy in visiting the Kaaba Shareef and
Masjid-e-Haraam as opportunities like this do
not come around every day.
120 rewards are distributed in Haram Shareef
every day. 60 on those who are performing
Tawaf, 40 on those praying Salah and 20 on
those who are just looking at the Kaaba.
Therefore, spend most of the time performing
Tawaf and Salah and at a minimum, spend your
time in Haram looking at the Kaaba as opposed
to spending your time in the malls and
shopping centres unnecessarily.
For as long as you are in Haram Shareef make
the intention for Itekaaf which is as follows
Nawayto Sunnatal Itekaaf (I intend to perform
Sunnah Itekaaf)
Worship inside the Hateem whenever possible
as worship in Hateem is the same as
worshipping inside the Kaaba.
Sit as close to the wall of the Kaaba as possible.
Kiss or perform Istilam of Hajr-e-Aswad.
158
Recite the Holy Quran and recite Durood as
much as possible.
Go to Multazim and Mustajaab and supplicate
as much as possible.
Visit all the sacred places in and around
Makkah.
159
HAJJ IN DETAIL
Detailed Information regarding the
Days of Hajj is outlined in the
following pages.
160
First Day of Hajj
The first day of Hajj is the 8
th
of Dhul Hijjah.
After sunrise on that day all pilgrims have to
leave Makkah Mukarramah and head towards
Mina.
Those performing Hajj-e-Ifrad or Qiran will
already be in Ehram whilst those who are
performing Tamattu or who live in Makkah
should perform ghusl according to Sunnah after
Fajr Salah and wear the Ehram (if not already
done on the 7
th
). First perform Tawaf and then
perform two rakats Salah of Tawaf with the
head covered. Then perform two rakats Nafl
Salah for Ehram.
As soon as the Salah is completed, remove the
cloth from the head and make intention for Hajj
and repeat the words of the Niyyah with the
tongue as follows:
161
.
, ._
. .
.
O Allah! I intend to perform Hajj. Make it easy for me
and accept it from me. I have sincerely made the
intention to perform Hajj for Allah and have worn the
Ehram for it. O Allah! I am present for Hajj.
Now recite Talbiyyah aloud 3 times and recite
Durood Shareef softly and make dua.
As soon as you recite Talbiyyah the Ehram for
Hajj starts and it becomes compulsory to respect
all the restrictions of Ehram.
It is also permissible to perform the Saee for
Hajj (that is to be performed after Tawaf-e-
Ziarat) at this time if desired.
162
Leaving for Mina
Leave for Mina after sunrise on the 8
th
of Dhul
Hijjah.
Nowadays, the government buses start
transporting people to Mina during the night.
Therefore, only if you walk will you be able to
leave at the time that is Sunnah. If one walks
then he earns 70 million rewards for each step.
However, if you walk make sure you go with an
experienced person otherwise it will be very
difficult finding your tent in Mina.
Recite Talbiyyah and Durood Shareef along the
way.
Mina is a large plain situated between two
mountains approximately 5 kilometres from
Makkah.
When you see Mina recite:
.
..
_ .
,
O Allah! This is Mina. Grant me the favours that You
granted Your Friends. (Bahar-e-Shariat Vol 6 Page 61)
163
In Mina perform five Salahs (from Zuhr on the
8
th
Dhul Hijjah until Fajr of the 9
th
) with Jamaat
in your tents.
The night between the 8
th
and 9
th
of Dhul Hijjah
is the night of Arafat. This night is to be spent in
Mina. Sleep as little as possible and spend as
much time as possible in remembrance of Allah
Almighty and in performing voluntary prayers.
If possible, recite the following dua 1000 times
and then supplicate to Allah Almighty. Insha
Allah all your lawful duas will be accepted:
_
. .
. .
. .
. .
. .
., _

Glory be to Him Whose Throne is in the heavens.
Glory be to Him Who rules the earth. Glory be to Him
Whose rule controls the oceans. Glory be to Him Whose
kingdom controls the fire of Hell. Glory be to Him
164
Whose Mercy is in Paradise. Glory be to Him Whose
Orders are carried out in the grave. Glory be to Him
Whose Mercy controls the winds. Glory be to Him Who
granted the heavens loftiness. Glory be to Him Who
granted the earth humility. Glory be to Him Who is the
only Protector from His Punishment. (Bahar-e-Shariat
Vol 6 Page 61)
Second Day of Hajj
The second day of Hajj is the 9
th
of Dhul Hijjah.
This is called the day of Arafat.
On this day, after Fajr Salah remain busy in
Talbiyyah, remembrance of Allah Almighty,
recitation of the Quran, Durood Shareef,
supplications etc.
When the sun begins to shine on Mount Shabeer
(opposite Masjid-e-Khaif) leave Mina and head
towards Arafat (for convenience and to avoid
congestion, these days the buses leave Mina
before this time).
Arafat is approximately 10 kilometres from
Mina.
165
If possible, travel on foot as there are great
blessings and reward in this. If not, there is no
problem travelling in a vehicle either.
On the way to Arafat, remain busy in
Talbiyyah, remembrance of Allah Almighty,
recitation of the Quran, Durood Shareef,
supplications etc.
Refrain from idle chat and recite Talbiyyah in
abundance.
When leaving Mina for Arafat recite:
.
_-
.,
O Allah! I have turned towards You and put my trust in
You and have made the intention to please You.
Therefore forgive my sins, make my Hajj an accepted
Hajj, have mercy on me and do not deprive me. Bless
my journey and fulfil my needs in Arafat.
Undoubtedly You have power over all things.
(Bahar-e-Shariat Vol 6 Page 62)

Allah is the Greatest! Allah is the Greatest! Allah is the
Greatest! All praise is for Allah! All praise is for Allah!
All praise is for Allah! No one is worthy of worship
173
except Allah, He is One without a partner. For Him is
all the kingdom and all praise. He gives life and death
and can do all things. O Allah! Keep me firm on
guidance and purify me and perfect me in piety and
save me from sins and forgive me in this world and the
hereafter. O Allah! Make this Hajj of mine acceptable
and forgive all my sins. O Allah! For You is all praise
that we are able to do and all praise that we are not able
to do. O Allah! My prayer, my worship, my life and
death is for Your Pleasure and to You is my return and
You alone are my successor and Master. O Allah! I seek
Your refuge from the torment of the grave, evil
suggestions of the heart and from all difficulties. O
Allah! I ask you for all the goodness that the winds
bring and refuge from all the evils that the winds bring.
O Allah! Guide us towards the right path, decorate us
with piety and forgive us in this world and the
hereafter. O Allah! I seek from you pure, lawful and
blessed sustenance. O Allah! You ordered us to
supplicate to you and took on the responsibility of
accepting our supplications and there is no doubt that
You do not break your Promise and are true to Your
word. O Allah! Make the goodness that You prefer
beloved to us and make it easy for us. Make us dislike
the things that You dislike and keep us far away from
174
them and do not take the blessing of Islam away from
us after You have guided us to it. No one is worthy of
worship except Allah, He is One without a partner. For
Him is all the kingdom and all praise. He gives life and
death and can do all things.
O Allah! Fill my chest, ears, eyes and heart with the
light of perfect faith. O Allah! Expand my chest for me
and make my work easy for me and I seek Your refuge
from evil suggestions of the heart, harm in my affairs
and punishment of the grave. O Allah! I seek Your
refuge from all the evils that the winds bring and from
all disasters and calamities. O our Lord and Sustainer!
Grant us goodness in this world and the hereafter and
save us from punishment in the next world. O Allah! I
ask You for that goodness that Your Prophet asked
You for and seek refuge from the evil that Your Prophet
sought.
O our Lord! We have committed injustices against our
souls and if You do not forgive our sins and have mercy
on us then we will be amongst the losers. O my Lord!
Make me punctual in my Salah and my children too. O
our Lord! Accept our prayer. My Lord! Forgive me and
my parents and all those with faith on the day of
175
reckoning. My Lord! Have mercy on my parents like
they had on me in my childhood. O our Lord! Do not let
us have hatred or animosity towards those of our
brothers who have passed away with faith or other
believers. O our Lord! Undoubtedly You are the Most
Forgiving, Most Merciful. O Our Lord! You hear and
know all things and shower Your grace upon us.
Undoubtedly You are the Forgiving, Most Merciful and
the strength to stay away from evil and strength to do
good deeds is only from Allah Who is Majestic and
Exalted. O Allah! You know and see and hear my words
and are aware of my apparent and hidden and none of
my deeds are hidden from You. I am poor, dependent,
seeking shelter and fearful and accept my sins. I am a
poor, destitute, humble beggar and am a petitioner who
begs You for reward. I humbly confess my sins and beg
You and beg like a blind man whose neck is bowed
before You, whose eyes are tearful, whose body has
weakened and whose nose is full of dust and begging
Your mercy. O Allah! Do not deprive me of my prayers
and be kind and merciful to me. O the Best of those
who are asked! O the Best of all givers! O Most
Merciful One! All praise is for Allah Who is Lord of all
the worlds. O Allah! Accept my prayer and my presence
here. O the One Who never gets tired at the insistence
176
of those who are asking and never gets tired of their
requests. Make us taste the coolness of Your Pardon, the
sweetness of Your forgiveness and the pleasure of
pleading to You and Your Mercy.
O Allah! I am present in Your Court and am standing
before You and am hopeful of Your Grace and Mercy in
this blessed place. Do not deprive me of Your Graces on
this day and grant me Paradise and treat me with
kindness and forgiveness. Save me from the fire of Hell
and from the evilness of people. Our Lord! Forgive us
all and our parents, our elders, our teachers, our
children, our family members, all those who are here as
well as all those who are not here through Your infinite
Mercy. O Most Merciful One! And O Allah! Send
blessings and salutations on our Master and Leader,
Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa , on his whole family
and on all his companions. (Ahkam-e-Hajj-o-Umrah
Pages 135-136)
2) First raise your hand and recite Allahu Akbar
Wa Lillaahil Hamd three times and then make
the following supplication:
177
. ,
. ,
._
, .
No one is worthy of worship except Allah, He is One
without a partner. For Him is all the kingdom and all
praise. He gives life and death and can do all things. O
Allah! Keep me firm on guidance and purify me and
save me from sins through piety and forgive me in this
world and the hereafter.
(Musannif Ibn Abi Shaiba Hadith 11)
After reciting this supplication put your hands
down for a short while. Then raise your hands
again and recite the same supplication. Then lower
your hands for a short while and then raise them
again and make the same supplication a third time.
3) During the Wuqoof, stand and face the Qibla and
recite the fourth kalima 100 times, Surah Ikhlas 100
times and Durood-e-Ibrahim 100 times.

O Merciful Lord! Through Your Infinite Grace

O Lord! Grant a means of livelihood to all those
who have no livelihood.
O Lord! Take those who are in debt out of the
shackles of debt.
O Lord! Grant pious, obedient children to those
who have no children.

O Lord! Grant health and wellness to all those
who are sick. O Lord! I beseech and beg You! In
this huge crowd of people there must be
someone who is favoured and beloved in Your
Court. O Allah! Through the waseela of that
person do not deprive us, grant us all our lawful
needs and grant success to all the lawful aims
and ambitions of Your slaves.
O Lord! Forgive all our family members and
forefathers who have passed away from this
world. Grant them the bounties of Paradise at
every turn.
O Lord! Through the blessed feet of Your
Beloved , take such work from us that pleases
You and Your Beloved Prophet .
O Lord! O Sustainer! Save us all from pretence
and show and grant us all the gift of sincerity.
Grant us all beneficial knowledge. Grant us
sincerity in our deeds. Purify our hearts of
malice and hatred.
181
O Lord of the worlds! Keep our country safe
from all trials and tribulations.
O Lord! Make our country a centre of peace and
tranquillity.
O Lord! My Provider and Creator! My true
Lord! Keep us alive as beggars in the court of
Your Beloved . Grant us the guidance to
sustain ourselves from the blessings we receive
from his court.
O Lord! Shower us with Your Grace and Mercy.
Grant us all the opportunity to visit the blessed
cities of Makkah Mukarramah and Madinah
Munawwarah time and time again.

Istigfaar and the comprehensive dua:
Rabbana Aatena Fid Dunya Hasanataw Wa Fil
Aakhirati Hasanataw Waqina Athaaban Naar in
abundance.
The duas that have been mentioned for specific
days and occasions should be recited at those
190
times. If a person cannot read them or cannot
memorise them then he should make dua in his
own language, in his own words and constantly
recite Durood Shareef and the Holy Quran.
Sunnahs of Wuqoof-e-Arafat
The following are Sunnahs of Wuqoof-e-Arafat:
1) To take a bath.
2) Not to Fast on that day.
3) To be with Wudhu.
4) To perform the Wuqoof immediately after
performing the Salahs.
Disliked Actions during Wuqoof
The following are disliked during Wuqoof-e-
Arafat:
1) Terminating the Wuqoof and starting to leave
Arafat before sunset. (As long as you are still
within the boundary of Arafat whereas to leave
191
the boundary of Arafat before sunset is
forbidden (Haraam).
2) Eating or drinking anything from the time
Wuqoof starts until sunset.
3) Doing any other thing other than turning
towards Allah Almighty from the start of
Wuqoof until sunset.
4) Talking about any worldly thing from the start
of Wuqoof until sunset.
5) Once you are certain that the sun has set
delaying leaving Arafat unnecessarily.
6) Praying Maghrib or Isha in Arafat.
(Avoid using an umbrella or any kind of shade
whilst performing Wuqoof in Arafat where
possible. If there is some urgent need to use
shade then that is allowed).
Rules Regarding Wuqoof
The time for Wuqoof-e-Arafat is from midday
on the 9
th
of Dhul Hijjah until the start of Fajr
time on the 10
th
. If the Wuqoof is done at any
192
time other than this then Hajj has not been
performed.
Standing for even a moment in Arafat means
that the Wuqoof has been completed even if the
person is not aware that he is in Arafat.
If a person passes through Arafat in Ehram then
Hajj has been performed even if he does not
have Wudhu, is impure, is a menstruating
woman, is asleep, unconscious or has lost his
mind.
If a person is not able to perform Wuqoof
between midday of the 9
th
and dawn of the 10
th
then his Hajj is invalid. It then becomes
obligatory (Fard) upon him to perform Hajj
again the next year. His other acts (of Hajj) are
now annulled and his Ehram now becomes an
Umrah Ehram. Therefore, he should perform
Umrah and remove his Ehram and repeat the
Hajj the following year.
If a person leaves Arafat before sunset because
of fear of overcrowding or crushing then it is
compulsory for him to pay a penalty (damm). If
193
he then returns to Arafat before sunset and
remains there until after sunset then the penalty
is forgiven.
If a person has not prayed Isha Salah and there
is only time for him to pray 4 rakats Fard before
dawn, but if he prays them he will not make it to
Arafat, then he should leave the Salah and go to
Arafat for Wuqoof. In this situation it is better
for him to pray the Salah in the car or on the bus
and repeat it later.
Leaving for Muzdalifah
Allah Almighty states:
...so when you return from Arafat, remember
Allah near the Sacred Symbol (Masharil
Haram)... (Surah Baqarah Verse 198)
After completing Wuqoof-e-Arafat, on the night
between the 9
th
and 10
th
of Dhul Hijjah, leave
194
Arafat after sunset and head for Muzdalifah
without praying Maghrib Salah.
On the way to Muzdalifah, remain busy in
reciting Talbiyyah, remembrance of Allah,
Durood Shareef and duas.
If possible travel by foot. If not there is no
problem in travelling by car or bus.
When travelling towards Muzdalifah recite the
following dua:
_.
, .
.,
O Allah! I have come towards You seeking Your
Mercy and am fearful of Your Wrath and
Punishment. Accept my worship, reward me
greatly, accept my repentance and sincerity and
195
fulfil my requests. O Allah! Do not make this my
last visit to this sacred place and grant me many
more visits to this place through Your Grace and
Blessings. (Bahar-e-Shariat Vol 6 Page 69)
When entering the boundary of Muzdalifah
recite the following dua:
.,
_ .
.,
. .
.,
_ .
_ -
,
196
O Allah! This is (the gathering of) Muzdalifah! I ask
You for all kinds of goodness. O Allah! O Lord of
Haram! O Lord of Zam-Zam and Maqam-e-Ibrahim! O
Respectful Lord of the city of Makkah! O Lord of
Masjid-e-Haraam! I seek the waseela of Your Blessed
Light and ask You to forgive my sins. Have mercy
on me and guide me in all things and make piety the
provisions for my journey. End my journey with a
successful hereafter and grant me Your happiness in
this world and the hereafter. O Merciful One in Whose
(Divine) Hand are all good things! Grant me all good
things and save me from all kinds of evil. O Allah!
Make my meat, skin, bones, hair and all parts of my
body forbidden on the fire of Hell, O Most Merciful
One. (Bahar-e-Shariat Vol 6 Page 69)
Salah in Muzdalifah
Maghrib and Isha must be performed together
in Isha time with one Adhaan and two Iqamats,
regardless of whether they are prayed alone or
with Jamaat (first the Fard of Maghrib, then the
Fard of Isha, then the Sunnah and Nafl of
197
Maghrib followed by the Sunnah, Nafl and Witr
of Isha.)
If the night is spent in Arafat or the road taken
from Arafat is not to Muzdalifah then Maghrib
must be prayed at its time and Isha at its time.
Even if a person reaches Muzdalifah before the
end of Maghrib time, it is compulsory to wait for
the beginning time of Isha before starting to
pray.
If a person reaches Muzdalifah and prays
Maghrib Salah along the way or prays it in
Muzdalifah before the time of Isha begins, then
the order is for him to wait for the time of Isha
to begin in Muzdalifah and repeat the Maghrib
Salah.
If a person prays Isha Salah before Maghrib
Salah in Muzdalifah then he must repeat the
Isha Salah after praying Maghrib.
If there is a danger that the sun will rise whilst
travelling between Arafat and Muzdalifah then
198
perform Maghrib and Isha along the way and
do not wait for Muzdalifah to perform them.
Do not pray any Sunnah or Nafl between the
Fards. Perform the Sunnah of Maghrib after the
Fard of Isha.
Reaching Muzdalifah after the beginning of Fajr
time is against the Sunnah but there is no
penalty (damm) payable.
Wuqoof-e-Muzdalifah
In Muzdalifah, try and perform the Wuqoof as
close to Masharil Haram (a mountain) as
possible. If there is no space here due to
overcrowding then perform the Wuqoof
anywhere in Muzdalifah other than Wadi-e-
Muhassir.
Wadi-e-Muhassir is also known as Wadi-an-
Naar (Valley of the fire). There are signs
marked here and it is not permissible to perform
Wuqoof here.
199
The time for Wuqoof-e-Muzdalifah is from the
beginning of Fajr time until sunrise. If someone
even passes through Muzdalifah during this
time them the Wuqoof is classed as being
performed. However, if a person does not
perform Wuqoof during this time then the
Wuqoof is invalid and a penalty (damm)
becomes compulsory.
Well before dawn perform Wudhu and be ready
to perform Fajr and the Wuqoof. Perform Fajr
Salah with Jamaat at its earliest time whilst it is
still dark.
After completing Fajr Salah, perform Wuqoof-e-
Muzdalifah by remaining busy in sincere and
humble remembrance and praise of Allah
Almighty, Talbiyyah, Durood Shareef and dua
until just before sunrise.
The actions that are essential, preferred and
disliked in Wuqoof-e-Arafat are also applicable
to Wuqoof-e-Muzdalifah.
If a person leaves Muzdalifah before dawn (Fajr
beginning time) then a penalty (damm) becomes
200
compulsory on him. However, if the person is
ill, is a woman or is a weak person who will face
difficulty and danger in the rush then there is no
penalty payable.
If a person leaves Muzdalifah after dawn
without praying Fajr then this is wrong but
there is no penalty payable.
70 pebbles should be picked up in Muzdalifah to
perform Rami and should be washed and kept
with you. It is Sunnah to pick up the pebbles in
Muzdalifah.
The pebbles should not be either too small or too
big. Rather, they should be about the size of a
chick pea or pit of a date.
It is also permissible to pick the pebbles from
any place.
201
Third Day of Hajj
The third day of Hajj is the 10
th
of Dhul Hijjah.
On this day, after performing Wuqoof-e-
Muzdalifah, a little before sunrise leave
Muzdalifah and head towards Mina.
On the way to Mina recite the following dua:
_.
-
_
,
.
.
O Allah! Do not make us a target for Your
Wrath and do not destroy us through Your
Punishment and grant us safety.
(Bahar-e-Shariat Vol 6 Page 74)
Upon Reaching Mina
Upon reaching the boundary of Mina recite the
following dua:
..
_ .
203
O Allah! This is Mina! I have entered into it. I am Your
slave and the son of Your slave. I pray that You grant
me those favours that You granted Your Friends. O
Allah! I seek refuge from being deprived and from
calamities in my faith. O Most Merciful One! All praise
is for Allah who made me reach this place safely.
(Ahkam-e-Hajj-o-Umrah Page 149)
Rami (Stoning) of Jamaraat
Rami means to stone and the three locations
in Mina where stoning is performed are called
Jamaraat (Pillars).
The Jamrah that is close to Masjid-e-Khaif is
called Jamrah Oolaa (small shaitaan). The one
next to it is called Jamrah Wustaa (middle
shaitaan) and the one at the end of Mina is
called Jamrah Uqba (large shaitaan).
204
On this day (10
th
Dhul Hijjah) only stoning
Jamrah Uqba is compulsory (Wajib).
Out of the 70 pebbles that were collected in
Muzdalifah, use 7 of them to stone Jamrah
Uqba.
Time of Rami
Only the large shaitaan needs to be stoned on
the 10
th
of Dhul Hijjah.
If the Rami of this day is not performed during
the day of the 10
th
or on the night of the 11
th
(i.e.
after Maghrib on the 10
th
) then repeating it and
paying a penalty are both compulsory (Wajib).
All three Jamaraat have to be stoned on the
other days.
The time for Rami is from sunrise on the 10
th
until dawn on the 11
th
. However, it is Sunnah to
perform it between sunrise and noon on the 10
th
.
It is permissible (Jaiz) to perform Rami from
midday to sunset and it is disliked (Makrooh) to
perform it between sunset and dawn.
205
Performing Rami just before dawn of the 11
th
will fulfil the requirement but delaying it until
then without reason is highly disliked.
If women or weak males are not able to perform
Rami during the day then they should perform
it during the night.
If a healthy person appoints someone else to
perform Rami on their behalf because of
tiredness or fear of overcrowding then the Rami
will not be fulfilled and one who does this has to
offer a sacrifice as compensation.
How to Perform Rami?
Stand approximately 6 or 7 feet away from the
Jamrah in such a manner that Mina is on your
right, Makkah on your left and the Jamrah
straight in front of you.
If there is overcrowding and a danger of being
crushed then stand wherever you find space and
perform Rami.
206
Take one pebble in the right hand and raise the
hand up high. Recite Bismillahi Allahu Akbar
and throw the pebble at the Jamrah. Keep
repeating this action until you have thrown
seven (7) pebbles.
Recite Bismillahi Allahu Akbar when throwing
each pebble.
It is preferable (Mustahab) to recite the
following dua when performing Rami:
, .
. ,
. ,
.,
Allahs Name (I begin with), Allah is the Greatest!
Allah is the Greatest! In order to disgrace shaitaan and
please the Merciful One (I am performing Rami). O
Allah! Accept this Hajj, accept my efforts and forgive
my sins. (Bahar-e-Shariat Vol 6 Page 74)
It is better to stone the base of the pillars.
It is not a condition that the pebbles must hit the
pillars (Jamaraat). It is acceptable if they fall
inside the boundary wall. However, if they fall
207
outside the wall then another stone must be
thrown in its place.
Rules Regarding Rami
Upon throwing the first pebble on the first day
stop reciting Talbiyyah.
Throw seven pebbles during Rami. It is not
permissible to throw less than that.
If no pebbles are thrown or less than three are
thrown then a penalty (damm) becomes
compulsory (Wajib).
If 4, 5 or 6 pebbles are thrown then offer charity
(Sadqa), equivalent to Sadqa-e-Fitr, for each
pebble that was missed.
It is against Sunnah to have a large interval
between throwing each of the pebbles.
It is necessary to throw the pebbles one at a
time. If all seven are thrown at once then that
will only count as one pebble.
Rami must be performed with items that are
from the elements of the earth meaning those
208
things with which Tayammum can be
performed i.e. stones, pebbles, soil etc.
Rami cannot be performed with items that are
not from elements of the earth i.e. gold, silver,
animal droppings etc.
The pebbles that are accepted are raised up and
the ones that are not accepted remain at the base
of the pillars. It is not permissible to perform
Rami with the pebbles that lie around the
pillars.
It is disliked (Makrooh) to perform Rami with
pebbles that you know to be impure. If you do
not know that they are impure then it is not
disliked but it is better to wash them.
It is also disliked to perform Rami between
dawn and sunrise on the 10
th
of Dhul Hijjah.
If Rami is not performed at all then only one
penalty (damm) is compulsory (Wajib).
If pebbles are gathered for all four days (10
th
to
13
th
) but you want to leave Mina after Rami on
the 12
th
then you can give the pebbles to anyone
209
who needs them. Otherwise leave them in a
clean place. It is disliked to throw leftover
pebbles at the Jamaraat and it is not necessary to
bury the leftover pebbles.
If Rami is performed differently than the way
described then it is better to repeat the Rami.
Do not remain there after performing Rami.
Rather, remain busy in remembrance of Allah
and making dua whilst walking back to your
tent and make arrangements for sacrifice.
Disliked Actions during Rami
1) Performing Rami of the 10
th
after sunset.
2) Performing Rami of the 13
th
before the
afternoon.
3) Throwing large rocks or stones.
4) Breaking a large stone into smaller pebbles.
5) Throwing pebbles taken from a Masjid.
6) Throwing pebbles which are lying around the
Jamaraat.
210
7) Throwing unclean pebbles.
8) Throwing more than seven pebbles.
9) Facing any direction other than the Qibla when
throwing the pebbles.
10) Standing less than five feet away from the
Jamrah.
11) Performing Rami in the wrong order.
12) Placing the pebbles by the Jamrah rather than
throwing them.
Sacrifice
Sacrifice (Qurbani) will also be performed on the
10
th
of Dhul Hijjah.
This is not the sacrifice that is performed on Eid-
ul-Adha. Rather, it is a sacrifice to offer
gratitude to Allah for Hajj.
This sacrifice is compulsory (Wajib) on those
who perform Hajj-e-Qiran or Tamattu even if
they are poor. It is preferred (Mustahab) for a
person performing Hajj-e-Ifrad to offer a
211
sacrifice even though there is no problem if he
does not offer it even if he is wealthy.
If a Haji has made the intention to stay in
Makkah for more than 15 days then he is classed
as a resident (Muqeem) and therefore the
sacrifice of Eid-ul-Adha is also compulsory on
him. However, he has the authority to either
offer this sacrifice in Haram or have it offered in
his name in his own country. Nevertheless, it is
essential to offer the sacrifice for Hajj within the
boundaries of Haram.
Those performing Hajj-e-Qiran or Tamattu
cannot shave or cut their hair until the sacrifice
has been offered. If they do this then they must
pay a penalty (damm).
Those performing Hajj-e-Ifrad can have their
hair shaved or cut even before offering the
sacrifice.
The rules and regulations for this sacrifice are
the same as for the sacrifice of Eid-ul-Adha.
212
It is permissible to offer a sacrifice of a lamb,
goat, camel or cow etc.
An animal whose limp is apparent, whose eyes
are obviously defective or who is extremely thin
cannot be sacrificed.
If a person intends to perform Hajj-e-Qiran or
Tamattu but does not have a sacrificial animal,
nor does he have enough money to buy one, nor
does he have anything that he can sell to get
enough money to buy an animal then such a
person should fast for 10 days.
It is essential that three of these fasts are kept in
the days of Hajj (1
st
Shawwal to 9
th
Dhul Hijjah)
after wearing the Ehram. They can be kept all
together or separately. It is better to fast on the
7
th
, 8
th
and 9
th
Dhul Hijjah. The remaining 7 can
be kept anytime after the 13
th
Dhul Hijjah.
Those who are this poor and do not keep at least
3 fasts before the day of Arafat, then it becomes
compulsory (Wajib) for them to offer a sacrifice.
Such a person must now shave or cut his hair
and remove his Ehram. Now he has to pay two
213
penalties (damm) one for not performing the
sacrifice and the second for having the hair
shaved or cut before the sacrifice.
Shaving / Cutting the Hair
After offering the sacrifice the hair must be
shaved or cut (called Halq or Taqseer). For
men this means either having the whole head
shaved or at a minimum having one quarter of
all the hair on the head cut. It is better for men to
shave their head. Women must wrap the end of
their hair around one finger and cut it. It is not
permissible for women to shave their head.
The time for shaving or cutting the hair is
during the days of sacrifice (10
th
, 11
th
, 12
th
Dhul
Hijjah). The first day is the best (for offering the
sacrifice). However, the shaving or cutting must
be done after the sacrifice has been offered.
It is compulsory to perform the Halq or Taqseer
within the limits of Haram and it is Sunnah to
perform it in Mina. If done outside the boundary
214
of Haram then a penalty becomes compulsory
(Wajib)
After shaving or cutting the hair, all the
restrictions of Ehram are now lifted except for
relations between a husband and wife. The
Ehram can be removed and normal stitched
clothing can now be worn.
How to Perform Halq or Taqseer?
Sit facing the Qibla.
Start with the right side of the head and shave or
cut that side first or have that side shaved or cut
first.
During Halq or Taqseer recite the following
Takbeer in a medium audible voice:
.
. ,
. ,
. ,
They must then remove their dirt and fulfil their
pledges and go around the Free House.
(Surah Hajj Verse 29)
On the 10
th
of Dhul Hijjah, after shaving or
cutting the hair, Tawaf-e-Ziarat has to be
performed.
This Tawaf is the third Fard and final act of Hajj.
Once it has been performed the Hajj is complete.
It is also known as Tawaf-e-Hajj, Tawaf-e-Rukn,
Tawaf-e-Fard and Tawaf-e-Ifada.
The time for this Tawaf is from the 10
th
of Dhul
Hijjah (after Rami, sacrifice and shaving/cutting
the hair has been completed) until sunset of the
12
th
of Dhul Hijjah. However, it is better to
perform it on the 10
th
.
219
How to Perform Tawaf-e-Ziarat
After performing Rami, sacrifice and shaving or
cutting the hair on the 10
th
, take a bath according
to Sunnah, perform Wudhu, put on normal
clothes and apply Itr.
Eat some sacrificial meat and head for Makkah
on foot. It is also allowed to travel to Makkah by
car or bus.
Remain busy in remembrance of Allah along the
way.
Perform this Tawaf just as you performed the
voluntary (Nafli) Tawafs before. Recite the same
duas that were recited before.
For those performing Hajj-e-Qiran or Ifrad, if
you have performed Ramal in Tawaf-e-
Qudoom, or if performing Tamattu, if you have
done Ramal in the Tawaf when putting on
Ehram for Hajj, then do not perform Ramal in
this Tawaf. Otherwise Ramal must be performed
in this Tawaf.
220
This Tawaf is performed in stitched clothing.
There is no Ijtiba in this Tawaf.
Once you have completed seven circuits, come
to Maqam-e-Ibrahim and pray the two rakats
(Waajibut Tawaf) Salah and dua as before.
Come to Multazim and hug it and make dua as
mentioned earlier.
Now drink Zam-Zam.
If the Saee for Hajj has not been performed
earlier then perform it now as normal.
The method of this Saee is exactly the same as
has been mentioned earlier.
The same duas should be recited in this Saee.
Perform two rakats Nafl Salah close to the
Mataf in Masjid-e-Haraam after the Saee has
been completed.
Congratulations! All the acts of Hajj have now
been completed. All that is left is to spend two
or three days in Mina and stone the pillars
(shaitaan). Therefore, after completing this
221
Tawaf come back to Mina. It is Sunnah to spend
the nights of the 10
th
, 11
th
and 12
th
in Mina.
Rules Regarding Tawaf-e-Ziarat
This Tawaf also consists of seven circuits out of
which four are Fard. Without them the Tawaf
will not count neither will Hajj be correct.
It is compulsory (Wajib) to complete four
circuits. If all seven are not completed (after
completing four) then a penalty (damm) is
compulsory (Wajib).
If an unconscious or sick person is carried on
your back or pushed in a wheelchair and the
intention is made for both, then the Tawaf of
both people will be fulfilled.
Intention (Niyyah) is also a condition of this
Tawaf. If it is performed without intention then
it will not be valid. It is not necessary that the
intention be made specifically for Tawaf-e-
Ziarat. If the intention is just made for
performing a Tawaf then it will still be valid.
222
For those performing Hajj-e-Qiran or Ifrad, if
Ramal and Saee have not been performed in
Tawaf-e-Qudoom, or if performing Tamattu, if
Ramal and Saee have not been performed in the
Tawaf when putting on Ehram for Hajj, then
Ramal and Saee must be performed in this
Tawaf.
If there is extreme overcrowding, women or the
elderly or sick can perform Tawaf-e-Ziarat on
the 11
th
instead of the 10
th
.
If there is overcrowding on the 11
th
also, it is
acceptable to perform it on the 12
th
. However,
delaying it until after the 12
th
will mean that a
sacrifice has to be offered as compensation
(Kaffarah).
If a woman starts menstruating then she must
perform Tawaf-e-Ziarat after menstruation
stops. If it does not stop by the 12
th
then she
must wait until she stops menstruating before
performing it. There is no penalty on a woman
for this delay.
223
If a woman stops menstruating on the 12
th
and
has enough time to bathe and complete at least
four circuits of Tawaf, or she has enough time to
complete the Tawaf before she starts
menstruating, but delays it unnecessarily then
she must offer a sacrifice as compensation.
After this Tawaf sexual relations, hugging,
kissing etc all become lawful.
If this Tawaf is not completed then no matter
how much time passes, sexual relations are not
permissible.
This Tawaf never becomes Qaza (late) nor is
there a replacement for it. If a person does not
perform it and returns to their country, this
Tawaf will still remain obligatory on him and
will remain so until he remains alive. He will
have to pay a penalty (damm) for delaying it but
it will still need to be performed.
If a person goes to Makkah to perform Tawaf-e-
Ziarat on the 11
th
or 12
th
, he must still return to
Mina and spend the night in Mina.
224
Pay Attention!
It is essential to perform Rami (stoning) of the
large shaitaan on 10
th
Dhul Hijjah. It cannot be
done on any other day.
After performing Rami of the large shaitaan,
you can offer sacrifice, shave or cut the hair and
perform Tawaf-e-Ziarat on either the 10
th
, 11
th
or
12
th
of Dhul Hijjah, whichever is more
convenient for you.
Those performing Hajj-e-Qiran or Tamattu
cannot have the hair shaved or cut before
offering the sacrifice and they cannot take off
their Ehram until they have had the hair shaved
or cut. Acting against this will mean they have
to pay a penalty (damm).
Fourth Day of Hajj
The fourth day of Hajj is the 11
th
of Dhul Hijjah.
On this day it is compulsory (Wajib) to stone all
three Jamaraat (pillars) after Zuhr Salah.
225
The rules and issues for this Rami are exactly the
same as have been mentioned earlier.
The Sunnah method is to stone Jamrah Oolaa
(small pillar) first, the Jamrah Wustaa (middle
pillar) and then finally Jamrah Uqba (large
pillar) with seven pebbles each.
Face the Qibla when stoning each of the three
pillars.
Throw seven pebbles (one after the other) at the
small pillar and recite the dua for Rami that has
been mentioned earlier.
This is a time for acceptance of supplications
therefore after throwing all seven pebbles, move
away from the pillar and face the Qibla.
Supplicate to Allah with raised hands for at least
8-10 minutes and pray for yourself, your family
and for all Muslims.
After stoning the small pillar and supplicating to
Allah Almighty, now come to the middle pillar
and perform the same actions here as were
performed at the small pillar. Stone it in the
226
same manner whilst reciting the same dua and
then move away a little and supplicate to Allah
Almighty as before.
After stoning the middle pillar now come to the
large pillar and stone it whilst reciting the same
duas as before. After stoning Jamrah Uqba
(large pillar) do not remain there but head
towards your tent whilst reciting Zikr, Durood
and duas etc. Do not stand and supplicate after
stoning the large pillar as this is against the
Sunnah and is not what was done by
RasoolAllah .
Fifth Day of Hajj
The fifth day of Hajj is the 12
th
of Dhul Hijjah.
Rami (stoning) has to be performed just as it was
performed on the 11
th
of Dhul Hijjah.
The method, order, rules and issues are exactly
the same as for the Rami that was performed on
the 11
th
.
227
After performing Rami on the 12
th
you can leave
before sunset and go to Makkah Shareef. Rather,
it is Sunnah and better to perform Rami after
Zuhr and then head back to Makkah. However,
it is disliked to leave Mina after sunset.
If you remain in Mina until the morning of the
13
th
then performing Rami (stoning) on this day
is also compulsory (Wajib) upon you. It is not
now permissible to leave Mina without
performing Rami otherwise a penalty (damm)
will have to be paid. This Rami also has to be
performed after midday.
The Rami performed on the 13
th
has the same
method, order, rules and issues as the Rami that
was performed on the 11
th
and 12
th
.
The time for all forms of Rami (Adaa or Qaza)
ends on the 13
th
of Dhul Hijjah.
Returning to Makkah Shareef
After completing all the customs and duties of
Mina return to Makkah Shareef.
228
Those people who came for Hajj from outside
the Miqat have one more Wajib Tawaf
remaining to complete their Hajj and that is
Tawaf-e-Rukhsat (also called Tawaf-e-Widaa).
During the stay in Makkah Shareef
From the 13
th
of Dhul Hijjah and until you remain
in Makkah Shareef:
Offer as many Umrahs as possible on behalf of
RasoolAllah , , your parents, teachers, friends,
relatives and if possible on behalf of this Faqeer
(author). RasoolAllah said, The person who
performs 50 Tawafs of the Kaaba becomes as
pure as one who has just been born.
Perform as many voluntary (Nafli) Tawafs as
possible.
Try and complete recitation of at least one full
Quran (or as much as possible).
Drink Zam-Zam in abundance.
Pray Nafl Salahs inside Hateem.
229
Cling onto Multazim and supplicate to Allah
Almighty.
Kiss Hajr-e-Aswad (if possible).
Constantly and regularly look at the Holy
Kaaba.
Remain busy in supplicating to Allah Almighty.
Visit the historical and important places in
Makkah. (For details about these places see our
book Why is Hajj Performed?
Tawaf-e-Rukhsat
Tawaf-e-Rukhsat is also called Tawaf-e-Widaa
or Tawaf-e-Sadar.
Tawaf-e-Rukhsat is compulsory (Wajib) upon
those who have come from outside the Miqat.
Just before leaving Makkah, perform Tawaf-e-
Rukhsat in normal clothes without Ramal, Ijtiba
or Saee.
230
The method of this Tawaf is exactly the same as
other Tawafs and the duas to be recited in it are
the same as for all other Tawafs.
After completing the Tawaf perform two rakats
Salah for Tawaf, then supplicate and drink as
much Zam-Zam as possible and rub it on your
face and body. Whilst drinking Zam-Zam look
at the Kaaba longingly. After this go to the door
of the Kaaba, kiss the base of the door if
possible and make dua for many more visits to
this blessed place and recite the following dua:
.
.
O Allah! This beggar is standing at Your Door
and is seeking Your Grace and is hopeful of Your
Mercy.
(Bahar-e-Shariat Vol 6 Page 82)
Now go to Multazim and praise Allah
Almighty, recite Tauba-o-Istigfaar and Durood
Shareef as well as the following dua:
231
.
.
All praise is for Allah who guided us and without
His Guidance we would not have been guided. O
Allah! Just as You gave us guidance also accept
our presence here and do not make this visit to
Your blessed House our last visit. Grant us the
honour of visiting this House time and time again
so that You may be pleased with us through Your
Mercy, O Most Merciful One! Praise and Honour
is for Allah who is Lord of all the worlds and may
Allah Almighty shower blessings and salutations
upon our master Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa
on his family and on all his Companions.
(Bahar-e-Shariat Vol 6 Pages 82-83)
232
After this come and kiss Hajr-e-Aswad if
possible and then recite this dua and bid
farewell to the House of Allah Almighty:
. _
.. ,
...and if you are prevented, send sacrifice whatever is
available; and do not shave your heads until the sacrifice
reaches its destination; so whoever among you is sick or
has an ailment in the head, must pay a compensation by
fasting or charity or sacrifice... (Surah Baqarah Verse 196)
275
Muhsar is the person who wears an Ehram for
Umrah or Hajj and for whatever reason is not
able to complete it.
Some of the reason he is not able to complete it
are:
1) Fear of enemies.
2) Illness (where the fear is that by travelling the
illness will become worse).
3) Arms or legs are broken.
4) Imprisoned.
5) The death of a Mehram who is travelling with a
woman.
6) Money (costs for the journey) is stolen etc.
A Muhsar should send the money for the
sacrifice to someone who is in the Haram (as the
sacrifice must be offered in Haram) and should
then remove their Ehram after the sacrifice has
been offered.
276
If a Muhsar had made the intention for Hajj-e-
Ifrad or Tamattu then he should send enough
money for one sacrifice. If he had intended to
perform Hajj-e- Qiran it is compulsory (Wajib)
for him to send enough money for two
sacrifices.
It is not a condition for a Muhsar to have their
head shaved or hair cut in order to come out of
Ehram but it is better if they do.
The sacrifice has to be offered within the Haram
but it does not have to be on the 10
th
, 11
th
or 12
th
.
It can be offered before or after these days also.
Important Warnings
Looking at impermissible things is always
forbidden and in Haram Shareef it is the
ultimate test of self-control and discipline.
Women are ordered not to cover their faces and
men are ordered not to look at them. Remember
that these are the slaves of a very Majestic and
Honourable Lord and at this time both you and
277
them are present in an esteemed place. Without
a doubt, no one will look at a lions cub when it
is in the lap of the lioness. Similarly, these slaves
of Allah are in His Special Court and looking at
them with evil intentions is undoubtedly a grave
sin. Therefore! Control your desires and eyes.
Haram is the place where even the thought of
sin is punished and one sin is equivalent to one
hundred thousand sins.
Women should remember that the order to
uncover the face is only when in a state of
Ehram. Once the formalities of Hajj are
completed women should not walk around with
their faces uncovered at all. Women should
cover their faces at all times regardless of where
they are but it is even more important in these
blessed places.
278
Final Word
RasoolAllah said:
.,
There is no other reward for an accepted Hajj than
Paradise. (Bukhari Shareef Hadith 1773)
At another point RasoolAllah said, One
thousand rewards are written for each step
taken by the person who leaves home with the
intention of Hajj or Umrah. One thousand sins
are wiped away for each step taken and his
status is raised one thousand times for each step
taken. (Jami Kabeer Al Suyuti Hadith 4854)
You will now have realised that after
performing Hajj Allah Almighty has completely
purified you. That is why it is stated that you
should ask a Haji to supplicate for you before he
reaches home because he is accepted by Allah
and is pure of sins.
279
Remember! After performing Hajj and visiting
Madinah Munawwarah your life should change
for the better. What other place can you visit
other than these blessed places in order to
change your life?
Ensure you are punctual in Salah after returning
from Hajj, act upon the Sunnahs of our Beloved
Prophet , avoid sins, make it a habit to recite
the Holy Quran and take an interest in
propagating and reforming others in the
community.
A pious person was asked how a person would
know if his Hajj was accepted or not. He replied,
If the sins that were committed before going for
Hajj are no longer committed then
congratulations, Allah Almighty has accepted
your Hajj.
May Allah Almighty, through the waseela of
RasoolAllah accept everyones Hajj and
grant everyone visits with respect to Makkah
Mukarramah and Madinah Munawwarah time
and time again.
280
It is hoped that you will also remember this
Faqeer (Mohammed Shakir Ali Noorie) in your
duas at all the blessed places.
Note: The rules and regulations mentioned in this
book have been reproduced in brief from Bahar-
e-Shariat. For more clarification please refer to
