Excellence of Hajj (1)Excellence of Hajj (1)

The Prophet (pbuh) said: “(The

performance of) Umra is an expiation for

the sins committed between it and the

previous Umra; and the reward of Hajj

Mabrur (i.e., one accepted) is nothing

but Jannah.”

[Bukhari and Muslim].

الله صلى الله رسول أن هريرة أبي عن

قال وسلم العمرة :عليه إلى العمرة

له ليس المبرور والحج بينهما لما كفارة

الجنة إال .جزاء[ مسلم البخاري و ]

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said,

"Whoever performs hajj to this Ka'ba

and does not approach his wife for

sexual relations nor commit sins (while

performing hajj), he will come out as

sinless as a new-born child, (just

delivered by his mother)."

[Bukhari and Muslim]

: يقول سلم و عليه فلم الله حج� من

أمه ولدته كيوم رجع يفسق ولم [ .يرفث

The Prophet (PBUH) was asked: Which

deed is the best?'' He (PBUH) replied,

“Faith in Allah and His Messenger.” Then

he was asked: What is next? He replied,

“Jihad (fighting) in the Cause of Allah.”

Then he was asked: What is after that?

He (PBUH) replied, “Hajj Mabrur.”

[Bukhari and Muslim].

: قال عنه الله رضي هريرة أبي عن

أي وسلم عليه الله صلى النبي سئل

: قال أفضل ورسوله األعمال بالله إيمان

قال ماذا ثم الله قيل سبيل في قيل جهاد

قال ماذا مبرور ثم . حج

[ البخاري مسلم [و

Narrated Aisha: (That she said), "O

Messenger of Allah! We consider jihad

as the best deed. Should we not fight in

Allah's Cause?" He said, "For you

(women) the best jihad: Hajj Mabrur.

[Bukhari]

Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her)

reported Allah's Messenger (may peace

be upon him) as saying: There is no day

when Allah sets free more servants from

Hell than the Day of Arafah. He draws

near, then praises them to the angels,

saying: What do these seek?

[Muslim].

Follow between Hajj and Umra for they

chase away poverty and sins just as a

blacksmith's bellows removes impurities

from iron, gold and silver, and there is

no reward for a Hajj mabrur less than

Jannah.

The Goal: A Hajj MabrurThe Goal: A Hajj Mabrur

A Hajj Mabrur (an accepted Hajj) is:

A Hajj free of sin; i.e. conducted with full obedience to

Allah (swt)

A Hajj performed with the intention of seeking Allah's

pleasure only (complete sincerity)

A Hajj performed in accordance to the Sunnah of the

Prophet (pbuh)

A Hajj which is not followed by disobedience

13

Another dimension to Another dimension to Hajj MabrurHajj Mabrur

Jabir (raa) narrated that the Prophet

(pbuh) said: The Hajj Mabrur has no

reward except Jannah. He was asked:

What makes Hajj Mabrur? He said:

Providing food (to people) and

spreading good word.

Khuzayma (in his Sahih), Bayhaqi, al-

Hakim (Sahih)]

DebtsDebtsBeing debt free is not a precondition for performing Hajj.

But debt is a very serious matter that should not be taken lightly, especially when leaving for Hajj.

Narrated Salama bin Al-Akwa: A dead person was brought to the Prophet so that he might lead the funeral prayer for him. He asked, "Is he in debt?" When the people replied in the negative, he led the funeral prayer. Another dead person was brought and he asked, "Is he in debt?" They said, "Yes." He (refused to lead the prayer and) said, "Lead the prayer of your friend." Abu Qatada said, "O Allah's Apostle! I undertake to pay his debt." Allah's Apostle then led his funeral prayer.  [Al-Bukhari, Book #37, Hadith #492]

Pay all your debts before going for Hajj, if possible.

If you are not able to, make arrangements for their payment during your absence, or in the event of your death.

Ensure that family members are aware of any outstanding debts.

Write an Islamic Will and make sure all your debts are recorded therein.

17

What to Take (1)What to Take (1)

When packing things for Hajj, keep in mind:

Stay light. Extra items you don't need will just increase the weight you will have to carry around.

Take necessary items like your usual medication.

Choose compact and light items. The camping section is a good place to look in.

Do not take valuables. You run the risk of loosing them, and it just adds to your worries.

Most items are available in Saudi Arabia, and usually cheaper. The advantage is that you will buy only things that you really need.

Hajj Packages (1)Hajj Packages (1)3 periods:

Stay in Makkah

Stay in Madinah

Hajj days: 8th – 13th of Dhul-Hijjah

Your Hajj package will be a combination of those 3 periods depending on the chronological order.

Makkah gets very crowded the week before the Hajj days, i.e. 1st to 7th of Dhul-Hijjah, while Madinah gets less busy.

Fasting, whether in Makkah or Madinah, during the first days of Dhul-Hijjah is recommended; but not during the days of Hajj, because of the physical effort required during those days.

28

Hajj Packages (2)Hajj Packages (2)Makkah FirstMakkah First

You assume Ihraam for Umra before landing in Jeddah. Jeddah is beyond the Meeqat.

Make the Niyyah and say Talbiyah when Meeqat is announced in the flight, approximately 30-45 minutes before landing at Jeddah.

You need to have a pair of Ihraam towels with you for your Umra before travel. You can buy a second one for your Hajj from Makkah or Madinah or wash and reuse the ones you used for Umra.

Make sure you keep the Ihraam towels in your handbag. Do not put them in your luggage.

Put on Ihraam towels in the airport, at the last stop of your trip, before boarding your flight to Jeddah. It’s extremely difficult to put on Ihraam towels in the airplane.

29

Hajj Packages (3)Hajj Packages (3)Madinah FirstMadinah First

You do not need to assume Ihraam

You can buy Ihraam towels from Madinah

Your Meeqat for Umra is Dhul-Hulayfah (Abyar 'Ali)

If you leave Madinah on the 7th or the 8th of Dhul-Hijjah, then

it will be difficult to do a Umra before Hajj. In this case make

Ihraam for Hajj (Ifraad). You may go to Makkah to perform

Tawaf and Sa’y first, then proceed to Mina and complete your

Hajj as explained later on; or proceed directly to Mina. If you

make Tawaf and Sa’y before going to Mina then you do not

have to perform the Sa’y after Tawaf al-Ifadah. After Hajj you

may perform Umra if you wish (Ihraam from Tan'eem or

Masjid 'Aisha). No animal sacrifice is required in this case.

Mawaqeet (1)Mawaqeet (1)

Mawaqeet ( م½½واقيت ) is the plural of Meeqat ( ميق½½ات ): the

geographical boundary that a person intending Hajj or Umra

may not cross without assuming Ihraam for Hajj or Umra, or

both.

A Muslim intending Hajj or `Umra who crosses the Meeqat

without Ihraam must return to the Meeqat and make Ihraam

from there. If he/she does not return and make Ihraam from

the Meeqat, then he/she must offer a sacrifice (Hady).

33

Mawaqeet (2)Mawaqeet (2)

Narrated Ibn Abbas: Allah's Apostle

(p.b.u.h) made Dhu-l Hulayfa as the

Meeqat for the people of Madinah; Al-Juhfa

for the people of Sham; Qarn al-Manazil

for the people of Najd; and Yalamlam for

the people of Yemen; and these Mawaqeet

are for the people at those very places,

and besides them for those who come

through those places with the intention of

performing Hajj and Umra; and whoever is

living within these boundaries can assume

lhram from the place he starts, and the

people of Makkah can assume Ihraam

from Makkah.

[Bukhari & Muslim]

Mawaqeet (3)Mawaqeet (3)

Abu Zubair heard Jabir b. 'Abdullah (raa) as

saying: I heard (and I think he carried it directly to

the Messenger of Allah) him saying: For the

people of Medina Dhu'l-Hulaifa is the place for

entering upon the state of Ihram, and for (the

people coming through the other way, i. e. Syria)

it is Juhfa; for the people of Iraq it is Dbatu 'Irq;

for the people of Najd it is Qarn (al-Manazil) and

for the people of Yemen it is Yalamlam.

[Muslim]

عن أبي الزبير عن جابر قال : سمعت

أحسبه رفع الحديث إلى رسول الله صلى

الله عليه وسلم قال : } مهل أهل المدينة

من ذي الحليفة ، والطريق اآلخر الجحفة ،

، ومهل ذات عرقومهل أهل العراق من

أهل نجد من قرن ، ومهل أهل اليمن من

يلملم {. [ مسلم ]

Narrated Ibn 'Umar: When these two towns (Basra

and Kufa) were opened, the people went to 'Umar

and said, "O Chief of the faithful believers! The

Prophet fixed Qarn as the Meeqat for the people

of Najd, it is beyond our way and it is difficult for

us to pass through it." He said, "Take as your

Meeqat a place situated opposite to Qarn on your

usual way. So, he fixed Dhatu 'Irq (as their

Meeqat)."

[Bukhari]

The Haram of Makkah is the sanctified area surrounding Makkah. It was delimited by Ibraheem (pbuh) under the guidance of Jibreel (pbuh).

After FatH Makkah (the opening of Makkah), Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) sent Tameem Ibn Asd al-Khuza'ee to renew the boundaries of the Haram.

Flags have been put on the mountains and hills to indicate the limits of the Haram. The number of flags reached 943 at some point, but most of them are ruined.

Area of the Haram = 212 mi2 (550 Km2)

Arrive in JeddahArrive in JeddahYou will have assumed Ihraam before

arriving at Jeddah if Makkah is your

destination.

First you go through the Customs,

and then wait for a bus (of the Hajj

Ministry Transportation Service) to

take you to Makkah.

Perform your salat on time and with

the Jama'ah.

Jeddah will be a first test for your

patience. The wait time in the Hajj

Terminal can be 2 to 12 hours or

even more.

Show patience and be nice to the

Staff.

This is a good opportunity to get to

know some people in your group.

If you are inside the Haram of Makkah (in your residence in Makkah for example) then you have to go outside the Haram of Makkah to make Ihraam.

Tan'eem (or Masjid 'Aisha) is the closest point outside the Haram of Makkah. You have SAPTCO buses from the Saptco Bus Stop in front of King Fahd Gate, running 24hrs between Haram and Masjid ‘Aisha. Or take a taxi.

Clip moustache

Clip nails; remove pubic and armpit hair.

Take a shower (ghusl) for Ihraam. This is a Sunnah.

Talbiyah (3)Talbiyah (3)التلبيةالتلبية

Talbiyah should be recited aloud. Making Talbiyah in a low voice is against the Sunnah of the Prophet (pbuh).

The Prophet (pbuh) said: Jibreel came to me and asked me to tell my companions to raise their voices with Ihlal (i.e. Talbiyah).]Ahmed and Tirmidhi[

والترمذي أحمدNarrated Abu-Bakr As-Siddeeq (raa): the Prophet (pbuh) was asked: what is the best of Hajj? He said: al-'ajj (i.e. raising the voice with Talbiyah) and ath-Thajj (i.e. shedding blood for the sake of Allah: animal sacrifice).]Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, Daarimi[

Talbiyah Talbiyah - Notes- Notes

Talbiyah is a Sunnah, but some scholars

consider it a Wajib and require an animal

sacrifice (hady) for omitting it.

Repeating the Talbiyah after a "guide" is also

against the Sunnah. The Companions of the

Prophet (pbuh) used to recite it individually.

54

Ihraam & Talbiyah for WomenIhraam & Talbiyah for Women

It is equally a Sunnah for a woman to shower before Ihraam.

A woman in her Hayd (menstruation) or Nifaas (baby delivery) takes a shower and assumes Ihraam, but does not pray the 2 rak’at of Ihraam.

The majority of scholars say that a woman should make Talbiyah in a low voice. But Al-Albani says that there is no difference between men and women in that respect except if she fears to cause fitnah. 'Aisha (raa) used to say the Talbiyah loudly.

The Black Stone (1)The Black Stone (1)Go straight to the Black Stone and facing it make takbeer.

Then touch it with your right hand and kiss it, and make sajda upon it also, as the Prophet (pbuh) did that.

If your are not able to kiss it then touch it with your right hand then kiss your hand.

If you cannot touch it you should make a sign towards it with your hand, but do not kiss your hand.

And you do that in every circuit.

Do not push and crowd to get to the Black Stone according to the Prophet's saying to ‘Umar.

72

The Black Stone (2)The Black Stone (2)

You do not have to touch the Black Stone for your Tawaf to be accepted. If it is crowded you may face your hand toward the Stone and say Allahu Akbar.

Do not hurt anyone to kiss the Black Stone.

Do not stand at the Black Stone line for a long time. Make a sign towards it with your right hand, say Allahu Akbar and move on.

TawafTawaf (1) (1)

A state of wudu is required for all kinds of Tawaf.

A menstruating woman does not make Tawaf until she becomes clean.

You do not have to say your intention out loud to begin Tawaf. Saying intentions out loud is something the Prophet (pbuh) never did except after Ihraam when he said, “Labbayk Allahuma Umra wa Hajj.”

All kinds of Tawaf, including optional Tawaf, consist of seven circuits around the Ka'bah.

The Ka’bah should be to your left. Do not do Tawaf with your back or right to the ka’bah. Do not walk backwards.

Tawaf shall be performed within the boundaries of Al-Masjid Al-Haraam.

77

Tawaf (2)Tawaf (2)Touch the Yemeni corner with your right hand each time you pass and do not kiss it, and if you are not able to touch it then you should not make any sign towards it with your hand at all.

Do not face your hand to the Yemeni corner and say Allahu Akbar. This is only for the Black Stone.

You do not touch the Shami or the 'Iraqi Corners at all.

And you should say between the Yemeni and the Black Stone corners:

Rabbanaa aatinaa fi-d dunyaa hasanatan wa fi-l aakhirati hasanatan wa qinaa 'adhaaba-n naar.

O Allah gives us good in this life, and good in the Hereafter and save us from the Punishment of the Fire.

78

Tawaf Tawaf (3)(3)

There is no particular dhikr for Tawaf, so you may read

Qur'an or say any dhikr you like.

Do not follow those Dua books that make up a specific

dua for each circuit around the Ka’bah. Read Quran and

make Dua from your heart and glorify Allah.

Make Dua by yourself, do not do it in a shouting group.

Do not wipe the walls of the Ka’bah during Tawaf. The

Messenger of Allah (pbuh) did not touch anything other

than the Black Stone and the Yemeni Corner.

79

TawafTawaf (4) (4)

Continue Tawaf without interruption, unless it is necessary, otherwise it will be void.

When it is time for the obligatory Salaat you stop your Tawaf, join the Salaat in your place and then resume your Tawaf from where you left.

If you need to go to the restroom you may interrupt your Tawaf and go. Make Wudu before coming back to resume your Tawaf. You resume your Tawaf from where you left. However, some scholars say that you need to start over from the beginning (this is a safer option).

80

Tawaf (5)Tawaf (5)

In case of doubt about the number of circuits

you performed you have to base your decision

on the least number of circuits. For example if

you have doubts whether you did 6 or 7

circuits, you base it on 6 and add one circuit.

If you get doubts after you finish your Tawaf

then you just ignore it and do not act on it.

Start with Safa

Recite a particular ayah [2,158]

Make dhikr and du’aa

Walk to Marwa (first lap)

On the Marwa, do the same as on the Safa

Walk back to the Safa (second lap)

Surely the Safa and the Marwa are among the Symbols of Allah; so whoever makes a pilgrimage to the House or pays a visit (to it), there is no sin if he goes round them both; and whoever does good of his own accord, then surely Allah is Grateful, Knowing.

Then climb the Safa until you see the Ka’ba. But this may not be easy with today's construction. So it's sufficient to just face the Ka'bah.

Then say:

" به الله بدأ بما "نبدأوالسالم الصالة عليه النبي قال كما

We begin with that which Allah began with (i.e. the Safa). As the Prophet (pbuh) said.

91

Sa’y between Safa & Marwah (5)Sa’y between Safa & Marwah (5)

Then you descend from Safa and start walking in the direction of Marwah.

You walk till you reach the green sign-post (see picture). You then jog (in a medium pace) till you reach the next green sign-post. Then you walk up to al-Marwah and ascend it.

Do upon Marwah as you did upon Safa. And that forms one complete lap.

92

Sa’y between Safa & Marwah (6)Sa’y between Safa & Marwah (6)

Then you return till you ascend as-Safa, jogging between the green sign-posts, and that is a second lap.

Then you return to Marwah, and so on till you complete seven laps finishing upon Marwah.

You may make this du'a in sa‘y:

األعز أنت إنك وارحم اغفر رب

األكرمRabbi ghfir warHam innaka anta-l a'azzu-l akram.

Lord! Forgive and have mercy (on me), surely You are the most Noble, the most Generous.

Exit from Marwah

93

Halq or Taqseer Halq or Taqseer التقصير أو التقصير الحلق أو الحلق

Then when you finish the seventh lap upon the Marwah you shorten the hair of your head, thus ending the Umra.

Hair has to be trimmed from all over the head (a hair cut). It is not sufficient to cut hair from the sides only.

Women trim their hair the length of a finger joint.

Everything that became forbidden to you upon entering Ihraam now becomes permissible again.

94

Stay in Makkah (1)Stay in Makkah (1)

If you did Tamattu’, you completed your Umra and now remain in the state of “Hill” (ح½ل) (being out of the state of Ihraam) until the day of Tarwiyah (8th Dhul-Hijjah).

While in Makkah use time wisely, it is so precious there. Avoid excessive time on shopping and idle discussions.

In the Haram, the reward for good deeds is multiplied many times, and so is the punishment for sins.

95

Stay in Makkah (2)Stay in Makkah (2)

Try not to miss any salat in the Masjid Al-Haram; each salat there is better than 100,000 salat elsewhere: the equivalent of more than 55 years of salat!

Make optional tawaf as much as possible, as it is better than salat in the Masjid Al-Haram. But do not exhaust yourself.

Keep yourself busy with salat, recitation of the Qur’an, Tawaf, dhikr and reflection. Make lots of du’a.

Do not neglect other forms of Ibadah: charity, fasting, help others, say salam, smile, etc.

Try not to walk in front of any praying person in the masjid.

You should pray two rak'at of "taHiyyat al-masjid" in case you don't intend to make Tawaf.

Performing multiple Umras (1) Performing multiple Umras (1) This practice has no basis in the Sunnah of the Prophet (pbuh) or the practice of his companions (rAa). There is no report that the Prophet (pbuh) or the companions after him accumulated multiple Umras while staying in Makkah waiting for Hajj.

Same can be said for Umras after Hajj, if one has already performed his/her Umra in that trip.

Repeating the Umra incurs hardship and causes many pilgrims to miss on Fardh prayers because of tiredness.

One who repeats the Umra may be compared to someone who prays the Sunnah of Fajr, and while waiting for the Fardh prayer decides to stand up and repeat the Sunnah multiple times, or someone who decides to repeat the Witr prayer after Isha.

Performing multiple Umras (2)Performing multiple Umras (2)

The exception here is a Umra which one performs for:

A deceased person

A sick (permanent sickness) or an old person who is not able to perform Umra by himself/herself

Fulfillment of a pledge

One of the best Ibadat while in Makkah, after completing the Umra, is Tawaf. One can do as many Tawafs as one wishes.

Ihraam for HajjIhraam for Hajj

If you are in Makkah, then you make Ihraam from your

place of residence (hotel, apartment, etc.).

If you are in Madinah, then you make Ihraam from the

meeqat of Dhul Hulayfah (Abyar Ali).

You do the same things that you did in your Ihraam for

the Umra, but you say “Labbayka allaahumma Hajjaa”.

You continue the talbiyah until you throw the pebbles at

Jamrat Al-’Aqabah on the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah.

107

Mina - Mina - 8 Dhul-Hijjah8 Dhul-Hijjah

Pray Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, ‘Isha and Fajr in their times with qasr (shortening Dhur, Asr and Isha to 2 rak’as).

Spending this night in Mina is a Sunnah. For some scholars it's a wajib.

Use your time to gather your thoughts and prepare for the next day: the day of Arafah.

Arafah - Arafah - 9 Dhul-Hijjah9 Dhul-Hijjah

After sunrise of the day of Arafah, depart for Arafah while making talbiyah or takbeer.

Pray Dhuhr and Asr at Masjid Namirah, two rak’as each, combined at the time of Dhuhr, after listening to the Imam’s sermon.

This may be difficult because of the crowd. In which case you may pray at your camp with your group. This saves a lot of time.

Namira is not part of Arafah, but part of the Masjid is within the limits of Arafah.

Excellence of the day of ArafahExcellence of the day of Arafah

The Prophet (pbuh) said:

"There is no day on

which Allah frees more of

His slaves from Fire than

the Day of 'Arafah, and

He draws near, then

praises them before the

angles, saying :'What do

they seek?' "

115

After salat move to your

place inside the limits

of Arafah, stand facing

the Qiblah, raising your

reciting talbiyah.

The Prophet (pbuh) said:

“The best thing that I and

the Prophets have said on

the evening of Arafah is:

“قد©ير

"Laa ilaha illallaahu wahdahu laa

Leaving ArafahLeaving Arafah

So when the sun has set you leave Arafah for Muzdalifah, going with calmness and tranquility, not jostling or pushing people; rather whenever you find room then you go faster.

Make sure you don’t leave until after sunset.

119

Muzdalifah (1) – Muzdalifah (1) – night of 10 Dhul-Hijjahnight of 10 Dhul-Hijjah

When reaching Muzdalifah pray Maghrib, then 'Ishaa, shortening it (qasr), and joining the two prayers.

You do not pray anything between them or after 'Isha. But always pray witr.

You may collect pebbles here.

Then you sleep until Fajr.

Pray Fajr at the beginning of its time.

120

Muzdalifah (2) – Muzdalifah (2) – night of 10 Dhul-Hijjahnight of 10 Dhul-Hijjah

It is permissible

for the weak,

after half of the

night has passed

for fear of the

crush of people.

Then you come to al-Mash'ar al-Haraam (a small mountain in Muzdalifah) and climb upon it and face the Qiblah - then recite takbeer, tahleel, and make du'a until the sky becomes very bright.

Then you leave for Mina before the sun rises, calmly while reciting talbiyah.

When you come to the river valley of MuHassir (and it is part of Mina) you hurry if possible.

You arrive to Mina the

morning of the 10th of Dhul-

Hijjah.

This is the busiest day of

Hajj. You will be doing the

following:

1. Stone Jamrat al-'Aqabah

2. Sacrifice an animal

3. Shave or trim off your hair

4. Go to Makkah to do Tawaf

al-Ifadah & Sa'y and come

back to Mina

124

Mina - Mina - 10 Dhul-Hijjah10 Dhul-Hijjah

You stone Jamrat al-'Aqabah only on this day, with seven small stones - slightly bigger than the chick-pea.

You recite takbeer while throwing each stone.

You cease reciting talbiyah when throwing the last stone.

You cannot perform this stoning until after sunrise. And you may delay it after noon, even up to the night, if you find difficulty in doing it before noon.

TaHallul - TaHallul - التحللالتحللWhen you have stoned the Jamrah everything becomes

lawful for you again except sexual intercourse, even if

you have not sacrificed or shaved your head - so you

may wear your clothes and use perfume. This partial

freedom is called taHallul Asghar (the small taHallul).

However you should perform Tawaaf al-Ifaada on the

same day (before Maghrib) if you wish to continue in

your state of having left iHraam - otherwise, if you have

not made Tawaaf before the evening (before Maghrib)

then you return to the state of iHraam as you were

before the stoning.

127

Mina - Mina - 10 Dhul-Hijjah10 Dhul-Hijjah

Skip this step if you made "tawkeel" for animal sacrifice (you bought a coupon).

Slaughter your animal in any part of Mina or Makkah.

The time for slaughter is the four days of 'Eid.

Seven people may share in one camel or cow.

And he who cannot afford a sacrificial animal should fast three days in Hajj (even the 3 days of tashreeq) and seven when he returns to his family.

128

Mina - Mina - 10 Dhul-Hijjah10 Dhul-Hijjah

Then you shave off all of your

hair or shorten it.

Shaving is better.

If you shorten your hair it has

to be from all over the head,

not part of it only (like the

sides).

Start with the right side of the

head.

The woman shortens her hair

the length of a finger joint.

Go to your camp in Mina, take a

shower, put on new clothes and

perfume.

129

Makkah - Makkah - 10 Dhul-Hijjah10 Dhul-Hijjah

Then you go off that day to Makkah and make Tawaf al-IfaDah in the same way as in the Tawaf of arrival, except that there is no idtiba’ (uncovering right shoulder) or ramal (bold walk) in this Tawaf.

Pray two rak'ahs behind Maqaam Ibraheem, if possible, or anywhere in the masjid if not.

130

Makkah - Makkah - 10 Dhul-Hijjah10 Dhul-Hijjah

Then you do sa’y

of complete taHallul.

Drink from Zamzam.

Return to Mina.

Sequence of Manasik on the Sequence of Manasik on the 1010thth of Dhul-Hijjah of Dhul-Hijjah

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: I saw the Prophet near the

Jamrah and the people were asking him questions. A man

asked, "O Messenger of Allah! I have slaughtered the Hady

(animal) before doing the Rami." The Prophet replied, "Do the

Rami (now) and there is no harm." Another person asked, "O

Messenger of Allah! I got my head shaved before slaughtering

the animal." The Prophet replied, "Do the slaughtering (now)

and there is no harm." So on that day, when the Prophet was

asked about anything as regards the ceremonies of hajj

performed before or after its due time his reply was, "Do it

(now) and there is no harm." Narrated by al-Bukhari.

Stay in Mina for the days of tashreeq ( التش½½ريق ام and (أي½½�their nights.

It is preferable to stay in Mina during these days than going to Makkah. This is the Sunnah of the Prophet PBUH.

Most scholars consider the staying in Mina as a Wajib.

You may go at night to make tawaf and return to Mina if you wish. It is reported that the Prophet (pbuh) did it.

133

Mina - Mina - 11, 12, 13 Dhul-Hijjah11, 12, 13 Dhul-Hijjah (Cont.)(Cont.)

Stone the three Jamarat

each with seven pebbles in

each of those days, after

zawaal (when the sun

moves from its zenith, i.e.

Dhuhr time).

After the first and the

second Jamarat, move

forward to the side and

stand facing the Qiblah for a

long time making du'a while

raising your hands.

Makkah - Makkah - Last dayLast dayThe Prophet (pbuh) said: "None of you should depart until he makes his last act Tawaf of the House.“

Farewell Tawaf (al-Wadaa’) is an obligatory act on everyone except menstruating women who were excused.

The prophet (pbuh) used to carry Zamzam water with him in water skins and containers, and he used to pour it upon the sick and give it to them to drink.

When you finish the Tawaaf you leave the masjid walking normally - not backwards.

Allah's Messenger (pbuh)

sacred as Abraham (pbuh)

had declared Makkah to be.

The Prophet (pbuh) said,

“What lies between its two

lava plains is sacred.”

He also (pbuh) pointed

towards the Madinah with his

hand and said: “It is a safe

sanctuary.”

Merits of Madinah (1)Merits of Madinah (1)It is the land of the Prophet's migration (pbuh).

Its people are his neighbors and supporters.

It is the abode of Faith, for to it returns Faith at the end of time.

At its entrances, there are Guardian Angels. Neither the Dajjaal nor the Plague will be admitted to it.

It will be the last city in the world to be ruined.

It is the land of Revelation.

O Allah! Increase in Madinah twice the blessing (Thou showered) upon Makkah. (2)

O Allah! Bless our Madinah, bless us in our Sa` and Mudd, and make twice Thy blessing. (3)

Masajid to Be VisitedMasajid to Be Visited

The only two Masjids in Madinah to visit with the intention of performing salat are the Masjid of the Prophet (pbuh) and Masjid Quba (the first masjid in Islam).

Other mosques and sites in Madinah may be visited for their historical value.

It is neither an obligation nor a condition for Hajj to visit the Prophet’s mosque or his grave.

There are many fabricated ahadith about visiting the Prophet’s grave. Beware when reading these ahadith and always verify the reference and level of authenticity.

155

Masjid QubaMasjid Quba

The prophet (pbuh) used to

go to masjid Quba on

Saturday morning and pray

two rak'at there. In a

Hadith, he (pbuh) said that

doing so is equivalent to

performing a Umra.

Masjid Quba is located

south of Madinah at 2.34

miles (3.75km) from the

Prophet’s Masjid. Masjid Quba

156

Al-Masjid An-NabawiAl-Masjid An-Nabawi

Salat in the Masjid of the

Prophet (pbuh) is better

than 1000 salat

elsewhere, except Al-

Masjid Al-Haraam.

Salah in the expansions

of the masjid has the

same merit as salah in

the original masjid.

157

40 Prayers at the Prophet’s Masjid40 Prayers at the Prophet’s Masjid

The hadith about performing

40 consecutive prayers in the

Prophet’s masjid was

considered weak by Al-Albani,

but others consider it sound

(Haithami, Mundhiri, Ibn

Hajar).

It would be desirable to

perform the 40 prayers in the

Prophet’s masjid if there is no

hardship in doing so.

Hadith: "The person who offers 40 prayers consecutively in my Mosque, without missing a prayer in between, will secure immunity from the fire of Hell and will be saved from torments and also from hypocrisy." (Ahmad, Tabaraani, Tirmidhi)

158

The RawdahThe Rawdahالشريفة الشريفة الروضة الروضة

Narrated Abu Hurairah, in the collection of Bukhari, the Prophet (pbuh) said: "The space between my house and my pulpit is (rawdah) one of the gardens of Paradise, and my pulpit is at my Fountain."

Rawdah is always full and it is difficult at times to find a spot for salah there.

Walk respectfully with calmness, and

Repeating the Visit (1)Repeating the Visit (1)Visit the grave of the Prophet (pbuh) and say your

salam to him. But do not repeat the visit, as there is a

warning from him (pbuh) not to take his grave as Eid

(i.e. something that you do repeatedly). He said:

Do not let your homes turn into

graves (i.e. do not stop praying

in them), and do not make my

grave a place of festival. Send

blessings upon me, for your

blessings would reach me

wherever you are.

he told him: “Oh You! The

Messenger of Allah said: do not

make my grave a Eid, and make

salat upon me wherever you are,

for your salat will reach me. You

and a man from Andalusia are

the same in this regard.”
