1.
Ihraam
(See Ihram
Section)
Ihraam of Hajj becomes wajib to be put on for Hajj Tamattu
after Umrah Tamattu is performed and there is usually ample
time for this. If, for any reason after performing Umrah
Tamattu, time is short and if one does not get into Ihraam
there will be insufficient time for the Wuqoof at Arafat on
the 9th of Zilhajj, then it is wajib to put on Ihraam
immediately to have time for the Wuqoof at Arafat.
Ihraam for Hajj is the same as for Umrah Tamattu.
(See Ihram
Section).
The Niyyat is:
(See Niyyats
Section)
“I am wearing Ihraam for Hajj Tamattu, for
Hajjatul Islam Wajib, Qurbatan Ilallaah.”
Talbiyah
Talbiyyah must be recited immediately after the uttering of
Niyyat and the Talbiyyah should be recited personally and
correctly with the correct pronunciation as follows:
Transliteration:
Labbaik Allahumma Labbaik. Labbaik La Shareeka Laka
Labbaik. Innal Hamda Wa Nn’imata Laka Wal Mulk, La Shareeka
Laka Labbaik.
Translation:
“Here I am at your service, O Lord, here I am. Here I
am, No partner do you have. Here I am. Truly all praise and
bounties are yours, and the dominion. No partner do you have”
(this
dua can also be found on page 202 of Adabul Haramain)
One must pronounce and recite the Talbiyyah himself. A person
who is dumb should point with his finger and move his tongue.
Without the Talbiyyah, Ihraam is invalid just as without
Takbiratual Ihraam a prayer is invalid.
There is a mustahab dua that can be added after the
Talbiyyah, please refer to page 214 of Adabul Haramain.
2.
Wuqoof at Arafat
(Halting at Arafat)
Wuqoof at Arafat is Wajib, which means to halt or stay there,
as per Ehtiyat Wajib, from Dhuhr on the 9th of Zilhajj until
Maghrib. One has to remain within the boundaries of Arafat
during that time. This is the normal time for Wuqoof, it makes
no difference whether one moves around or whether one sleeps
(for part of the night/day) or stays awake.
Wuqoof at
Arafat should be with a Wajib Niyyat, stating:
“I am performing
Wuqoof (halting) in Arafat today from Zawaal (just before
Dhuhr) to Sunset for Hajj Tamattu, for Hajjatul Islam Wajib,
Qurbatan Ilallaah.”
Masaels Regarding Wuqoof in Arafat
A.
If a person remains
asleep or unconscious from Dhuhr to Maghrib on the day of
Arafat, his Wuqoof at Arafat would be Batil. BUT if one was at
Arafat before Dhuhr and intended to do Wuqoof and then fell
asleep with the intention of Wuqoof in mind, the Wuqoof would
be valid, even if one did not wake up until Maghrib. If one
sleeps after Dhuhr after making Niyyat, it is permissible and
Wuqoof is valid.
B. Although as per Ehtiyat, it
is Wajib that a pilgrim stays in Arafat from Dhuhr until
Maghrib, the actual Rukn is to be present between Dhuhr and
Maghrib for a certain time, so that it can be said that one
stopped there and performed Wuqoof.
C. Anyone
intentionally failing to stay for that much time will render
his Hajj Batil., even if he stays that night of 10th Zilhajj
in Arafat for Wuqoof-e-Isterari (emergency case) and then
proceeds for Wuqoof at Mashar.
D. But if someone
forgets and misses out Wuqoof at Arafat, is Hajj will not be
Batil unless he forgets or intentionally misses out Wuqoof at
Mashar also, in which case his hajj would be Batil.
E. If a person deliberately delays his arrival at Arafat
until after Dhuhr time, his Wuqoof will be valid, and no
Kaffara is required. But his act would be against Ehtiyat and
as it is wajib to be there from Dhuhr to Maghrib he will have
committed a sin.
F. It is not permitted to leave
Arafat before Maghrib and if someone does so deliberately and
does not return on the same day, it is Wajib for him to
sacrifice a camel on Eid day at Mina. If he cannot give that
sacrifice he must fast for eighteen consecutive days.
G. It is Wajib for a person leaving Arafat before
Maghrib to return to Arafat and stay there until Maghrib. If
he repented and returned the same day to Arafat he would still
need to give Kaffara as per Ehtiyat-e-Wajib.
H.
If a person leaves Arafat before Maghrib out of forgetfulness
or ignorance he must return the same day as soon as he
remembers or learns about it. If he does not return he will
have committed a sin and will need to give Kaffara as per
Ahwat. However, if he remembers or learns about it after
Maghrib then he has no liabilities.

Mustahab Parts of Wuqoof at Arafat
| |
 |
|
-
To put ones tent at a place called Namirah, which is joined to
Arafat.
-
To stay at the
left side of the mount on level ground. It is Makrooh to climb the mountain after the niyyat
of Wuqoof.
-
To be with ones
own companions during Wuqoof.
-
To remain in Tahaarat
and perform Ghusl.
-
To avoid such
things and acts that would distract one’s attention from

it’s prime time, with one Adhan for both and two separate
Iqamah.
-
After Salaat, to remain occupied with prayers, in
a standing position.
-
To remain standing during the entire Wuqoof. It is Makrooh to
sit or to ride during Wuqoof, but if assuming a standing
position all the time becomes irksome or a distraction away
from acts of worship, then it is better to sit down.
-
To pray and
beseech Allah as much as one can, for this is the day of
supplication to Allah. Nothing pleases Shaitan more than
distracting the attention of man from his Creator.
-
To seek refuge in
Allah from Shaitan.
-
To remember ones
sins and lapses and seek forgiveness for them.
-
To weep or give
oneself to being tearful.
-
To remain facing Qibla, and
with all the attention and presence of mind, praise Allah and
thank him for his bounties and glorify him.
-

100 times Allahu Akber 100 times Al-Hamdu Lillah 100
times Subhanallah 100 times La Illaha Illallah 100 times
Ayatul Kursi 100 times Salawat 100 times Sura Al-Qadr
100 times La Hawla Wala Quwwata Illa Billah 100 times Sura
Al-Ikhlas
-
To pray for
oneself, one’s parents and the Mo'mineen. It is recommended to mention at least forty names.
It is reported that if someone prays for his Momin brothers,
an angel is appointed to pray for him a thousand times.
-
To spend all the
time in Dua and Istighfar, remembering Allah.
Some Ullama have stated that it is Wajib to do so.
-
It is strongly
recommended to read the Dua for this occasion, like
the one in "Saheefa Kamila as- Sajjidiyah "known as Dua Arafat
and that of Imam Hussein (‘a) and to read Ziyarat of Imam
Hussein (‘a) and Dua of Imam Zayn al Abidin (‘a). It is also
Mustahab to recite a dua, which is in Adabul Haramain page
244, and also to recite the dua given on Page 252 at sunset.
3)
Wuqoof at Mashar
(Halting at Mashar - Also Known as
Muzdalifah)
Wuqoof at Mashar is wajib to be done after the Wuqoof at
Arafat. This is a place situated between Arafat and Mina.
When the sun sets and Maghrib enters Arafat, Pilgrims
should proceed to Mashar and it is Wajib not to delay going
there until Subh Sadiq (the true dawn), although if one is
unfortunate to reach there between Subh Sadiq and sunrise,
one’s Hajj is valid. It is Wajib to spend the night at Mashar.
As per Ahwat, one should not avoid praying and remembering
Allah at Mashar, even for a short time. The Niyyat for this
Wuqoof should be:
“I am performing Wuqoof at Mashar,
from now until Subhe Sadiq, for Hajj Tamattu, for Hajjatul
Islam Wajib, Qurbatan Ilallaah.”
When Subh Sadiq comes,
there will have to be another Niyyat for the second Wuqoof
between Subh Sadiq and sunrise:
“I will remain here at
Mashar, from now until sunrise, for Hajj Tamattu, for Hajjatul
Islam Wajib, Qurbatan Ilallaah”.
So there are two
Wuqoof at Mashar. It is permissible to make one niyyat at the
beginning, stating that two Wuqoof will be performed, one from
night until Subh Sadiq and one from Subh Sadiq until
sunrise.
Masaels
Regarding Wuqoof at Mashar
|
 |
|
A. While it is Wajib to remain in Mashar until sunrise as per
Ahwat, it is also recommended to start moving out of Mashar
shortly before sunrise providing one does not cross the valley
of Mass’ar. However, it is safer not to enter this valley, one
who crosses this valley will have committed a sin and should
give one sheep as Kaffara.
B. The Rukn part of this Wuqoof
if to be at Mashar for at least some time between Subh Sadiq
and sunrise so it can safely be said that the Wuqoof has been
observed. If this Rukn was intentionally left out Hajj would
be Batil unless one had performed the first Wuqoof (night to
Subh Sadiq). Again, one will have committed a sin and would
have to give a sheep as Kaffara.
C. Those who have urgent
work, elderly people, women and the sick may leave from Mashar
to go to Mina before Subh Sadiq, if they fear they will be
greatly inconvenienced by the huge crowd if they waited until
Subh Sadiq. Their Hajj would be valid even if they left
before Subh Sadiq with no excuse provided they have performed
Wuqoof at Arafat and the first Wuqoof at Mashar. For so doing,
it will be Wajib upon them to give a Kaffara of one sheep.
D. If they forget or are ignorant of the masael and they leave
Mashar before Subh Sadiq, there will not be any Kaffara,
however, if they remember or learn the rule and if there is
the possibility of returning they should do so to observe the
Wuqoof between Fajr and sunrise.
Mustahab Acts of Wuqoof at Mashar
-
To leave Arafat slowly towards Mina, in a state of serenity
and ask for forgiveness from Allah.
-
Postpone Magrhrib
Salaat and recite it together with Isha Salaat at Mashar, It
is mustahab to recite one Adhaan for both prayers, however an
Iqamah for each of the prayers leaving no gap in between. If
one wishes to perform Nafilah of Maghrib one can do so after
Isha with the Niyyat of Raja.
-
To remain on the
right side of the valley.
-
One should stay
in tahaarat and pass the
night in Ibadat.
-
There are Duas that are to be recited as
per Adabul Haramain Pages 253 to 256
-
It is Mustahab to pick up 70 pebbles in the night for throwing
at the Jamaraats.
-
When passing the
Valley of Mohs’ar one
should walk at little quicker for about 100 steps. If one is
in a car or bus cross the place a bit faster.
4)
Ramii of Jamarah Akbar
The
first Wajib act in Mina is to throw seven pebbles at Jamarah
Akbar between sunrise and sunset on 10th Zilhajj (Eid Day).
If one forgets about it or omits it due to ignorance, one
should do it on any day up until the 13th Zilhajj. If one does
not remember to do it at all one should return the following
year and do it again, if that is not possible one should
appoint someone to do it on one’s behalf.
Ramii of
Jamarah Akbar can be done from all four directions and only
from the lower level where the original part of the stone is.
It is Ehtiyat Mustahab when striking the pebbles to stand with
ones back to the Qibla and reciting ‘Allahu Akbar’ at the time
of striking.
It is not permissible to do Ramii at
night, except for those who are ill or have a justified fear
or valid excuse for not doing it during the day. Those are
able to do Ramii at night are not permitted to appoint someone
to do it for them in the day.
There is no difference in
performing Ramii in the preceding night or the following
night. If a pilgrim is unable to go and do Ramii every night,
he can perform the Ramii of the three Jamaraats of all three
days in one night.
Conditions
of Pebbles
-
The pebbles must be small, picked up from the Haram,
and it is better that they are the ones picked from Mashar (Muzdalifar).
-
They should not already have been used for Ramii.
-
The pebbles should be of several colours and about
the size of a fingertip.
Conditions of Rammi
-
The Niyyats must be made first.
-
When casting the pebbles one must be on
one's feet.
-
One
should hold the pebbles in the left hand and use the right
hand to cast the pebbles
-
The pebbles must
actually be thrown, simply placing or passing them over the
Jamarah if not sufficient.
-
The pebbles must
strike the Jamarah directly, it should not have rebounded off
another person or object first. If in doubt as to whether the
pebble has struck the Jamarah, one should throw a pebble
again.
-
The number of pebbles used for Ramii
should not be less than seven.
-
The pebbles must
be thrown one after the other, they cannot be thrown all at
once that would make Ramii invalid.
-
While casting each
stone a dua can be recited, see page 257 of Adabul Haramain.
If a person forgets or out of ignorance casts less than seven
pebbles, he should do the remaining balance provided he
remembers or learns about the masael before Muwalat has been
disrupted and the sequence has broken. Otherwise he must cast
the remaining pebbles and then repeat it again. When in doubt
as to how many pebbles cast always assume the lesser number
and complete the balance.
5)
Qurbani (Sacrifice)
Qurbani is the second act in Mina. Qurbani can be of a camel,
cow or sheep on the day of Eid. It is preferable that the
animal should be healthy. Every pilgrim must perform his own
Qurbani, if two or more wish to do it together, it will not be
accepted.
If someone due to forgetfulness, ignorance or
some good reason does not do Qurbani on Eid day, he should do
it by the end of Zilhajj, as per Ahwat there should be no
delay.
For the dua to be recited at the time of
slaughter please refer to Adabul Haramain Page 259
Masaels of Qurbani
A.
It is a Wajib
condition that Qurbani is preceded by Niyyat : “I am
giving this Qurbani (sacrifice), for Hajj-e-Tamattu, for
Hajjatul Islam Wajib, Qurbatan Ilallaah.” B. If a person
has appointed someone else to slaughter the animal on his
behalf, then the appointed person would do the Niyyat the same
way but expressing that fact. C. If the person himself is
present while the appointed person is slaughtering the animal
it is Ahwat for him to do Niyyat also.
6)
Taqseer or Halq
Halq or Taqseer is Wajib once the Qurbani has been done. Halq
means to shave off hair on one’s head (men only). If a person
has braided their hair or used some adhesive to stick hair
onto the head, then as per Ehtiyat Wajib one must shave off
the hair completely. Taqseer means to cut a little of the hair
and/or the nails.
Mustahab Acts at the Time of Doing Halq
At
the time of doing Halq one should:
-
Face the quibla
-
Shave the top
right hand side of his head first and end at the place
opposite the raised bones behind the two ears.
-
While shaving it
is mustahab to recite the duas cited in
Adabul Haramain on page 260
-
One should bury
the hair in mina (if possible)
-
One should also cut a little hair from
the moustache and beard and cut his nails after shaving
Masaels
Regarding Taqseer
A.
Women should do
Taqseer only, which means cutting some of the hair. They are
not permitted to shave off the hair from their heads. It is
advisable to cut a little hair. B. Niyyat should precede
Halq or Taqseer: “I am doing Halq/Taqseer, for Hajj Tamattu,
for Hajjatul Islam Wajib, Qurbatan Ilallaah.” C. It
is recommended for the person doing the shaving to also make
the niyyat. D. When Halq/Taqseer has been completed,
all those acts, which were forbidden to them in the state of
Ihraam, become halaal except sexual intercourse, hunting and
using perfume (or anything sweet smelling). E. As
per Ehtiyat Wajib, Ramii, Qurbani and Halq/Taqseer should be
carried out in that order. However, if someone forgets and
changes the order they carry out these actions then there is
no objection. If a person changes the order purposely, it is
not Wajib to repeat the actions in the correct order but it is
Ahwat to do so if possible.
7)
Tawaaf Hajj
Tawaaf of Hajj is Wajib, One should travel from Mina to Makkah
to perform this act, however it is not Wajib to travel to
Makkah immediately, one can delay this until the 11th day of
Zilhajj. Actually one can perform this Tawaaf at any time up
until the end of Zilhajj but it is Ahwat not to delay.
The Niyyat will be just like that of the Tawaaf performed in
Umrah except that it is for Hajj Tamattu :
“I
am performing Tawaaf Hajj for Hajj Tamattu, for Hajjatul Islam
Wajib, Qurbatan Ilallaah.”
8)
Two Rakaat Tawaaf Salaat
This Salaat is a two Rakaat Salaat just like Fajr prayers and
is Wajib after every Tawaaf. This prayer can be recited
silently or loudly. It is Ehtiyat that this Salaat be
performed immediately after Tawaaf and behind Maqam Ibrahim
insh’Allah
“I am reciting 2 Rakaat Tawaaf Salaat, for
Hajj Tamattu, Wajib Qurbatan Illallah”
9)
Saee
Saee must be performed after Tawaaf Haj and its Salaat and is
Wajib. Just as in Umrah, the Saee is the walk seven times
between Safa and Marwa. The Niyyat should be as before except
that it is for Hajj :
“I
am doing Saee between Safa and Marwa for Hajj Tamattu, for
Hajjatul Islam Wajib, Qurbatan Ilallaah.”
Editors note:
For the disabled, sick and elderly, this can be performed in a
wheelchair.
10)
Tawaaf Nisa
Tawaaf Nisa (the Tawaaf of Women), is the tenth part of Hajj
Tamattu. All the conditions of Tawaaf are the same as before
except the niyyat should express the wordings of Tawaaf Nisa :
“I am performing
Tawaaf-un-Nisa , for Hajj Tamattu, for Hajjatul Islam Wajib,
Qurbatan Ilallaah.”
11)
Two Rakaat Salaat
Tawaaf Nisa
This Salaat is a two Rakaat Salaat just like Fajr prayers and
is Wajib after every Tawaaf. This prayer can be recited
silently or loudly. It is Ehtiyat that this Salaat be
performed immediately after Tawaaf and behind Maqam Ibrahim
insh’Allah.
“I
am reciting 2 Rakaat Salaat of Tawaaf Nisa, for Hajj Tamattu,
for Hajjatul Islam Wajib, Qurbatan Ilallaah.”
Related Masaels
A. A
person going for Hajj Tamattu is not permitted to perform
Tawaaf and Saee for Hajj before going to Arafat and Mashar.
However, if a person feels that he will not be able to perform
these acts after returning from Mina to Makkah, like an old
man who fears inconvenience due to the huge crowds of
pilgrims, or a lady who knows that she will be in Haidh or
Nifas, then he/she is allowed to perform them before going to
Arafat, Mashar and Mina. It is Ahwat that if a person finds
that they can actually perform Tawaaf and Saee on the 11th,
12th or 13th of Zilhajj, then they should be repeated.
B. When a person has completed Tawaaf Hajj, its Salaat and
Saee, the smelling or using of perfume or sweet fragrances
becomes permissible, as well as the other things that became
Halaal after Halq/Taqseer, however, sexual intercourse and
hunting are still forbidden.
C. Once Tawaaf Nisa is
and its Salaat are completed, sexual intercourse and hunting
become Halaal, however, hunting inside the precinct of the
Haram is Haraam due to the sanctity of the area.
D.
If a person knowingly, out of ignorance or forget to perform
Tawaaf Nisa and its Salaat, his Hajj is still Valid. However
it is wajib for a pilgrim to perform this Tawaaf and its
Salaat, otherwise a woman will never be Halaal for him. Such a
person cannot marry, nor can he witness any nikkah, as per
Ahwat, such a person should not give witness. Similarly, for a
woman pilgrim who has not performed Tawaaf Nisa and its Salaat,
a man cannot be Halaal for her.
12)
Wuqoof at Mina on the Nights of
11th and 12th of Zilhajj
The
twelfth Wajib act in Hajj Tamattu, is to remain in Mina during
the 11th and 12th nights. If a person hunts or has sexual
intercourse, it is Wajib to stay on the 13th night also and
then perform Ramii of all three Jamaraats after sunrise. For
one who goes to Makkah on Eid day to perform Tawaaf etc, it is
Wajib for them to return to Mina and spend the night there.
On the twelfth day a pilgrim is allowed to return to Makkah
after Dhuhr and not before. If he cannot return until
nightfall, he must spend the night, that is the 13th in Mina
and perform Ramii of all three Jamaraat on the 13th day.
There should be a niyyat for remaining in Mina :
“I am Halting in Mina
tonight, for Hajj Tamattu, for Hajjatul Islam Wajib, Qurbatan
Ilallaah.”
It is Wajib that a Pilgrim remains in Mina
at least until midnight. After midnight, he can go out if he
likes but it is Ehtiyat Mustahab not to enter Makkah until
Subh Sadiq.
If
a person does not remain in Mina during those nights without a
valid reason, he will have committed a sin, but his Hajj will
still be valid. The person should give a Kaffara of one sheep
for every night, which has been missed out. If a person has
good reason for not spending the night(s) in Mina for a good
reason, like being ill or attending to a sick person, then he
has committed no sin but as per Ahwat he should give a Kaffara
of a sheep.
For Pilgrims who wishes to go to Makkah
solely for remaining awake there, engaging in acts of worship
and doing nothing except necessary things such as eating and
drinking, responding to the call of nature, renewing wudhu, it
is not Wajib to stay in Mina, neither does it have any Kaffara.
13)
Ramii at the Three Jamarats
in Mina on the 11th and 12th Day of Zilhajj
On
the 11th and 12th day of Zilhajj it is Wajib to do Ramii of
all three Jamaraat. This means striking each Jamarat with
seven pebbles, in the following order: First Jamarah Oola
(small shaitan) Second Jamarah Wusta (medium shaitan)
Third Jamarah Akbar (large shaitan) This sequence must be
followed. If someone performs Ramii without following the
proper sequence he will have to repeat the Ramii in the
correct order. E.g., if he hit Jamarah Wusta first, then
Jamarah Oola, then he would have to hit Jamarah Wusta again to
set the order straight then proceed to hit Jamarah Akbar.
A niyyat should be made before striking each Jamarah:
“I am throwing seven pebbles at Jamarah Oola/Wusta/Akbar,
for Hajj Tamattu, for Hajjatul Islam Wajib, Qurbatan Ilallaah.”
Masaels
Regarding Ramii
A.
If it became Wajib to
stay at Mina on the 13th night (due to reasons mentioned
earlier), then it would be Wajib upon him to perform all Ramii
on the 13th day. B. If someone threw only four
pebbles at a Jamarah, and then forgot and began striking
another, it would be sufficient. When the person remembers, he
would return to the Jamarah where he struck only four pebbles
and he would throw the remaining three pebbles. C.
If someone omits certain pebbles deliberately, then he has to
repeat the Ramii, with due regard to the sequence. This rule
will also apply to those who omit throwing pebbles due to
ignorance. D. The other Wajib parts of Ramii are as
explained earlier in the Masael of Jamarah Akbar in Mina.
E. If someone deliberately left out Ramii of Jamarat,
his Hajj would not be batil but he will have committed a sin.
F. A person who is unable to perform Ramii during the
daytime because of some good reason is allowed to perform
Ramii on the preceding night. G. If someone
knowingly or due to ignorance or forgetting omitted all three
Ramii Jamarah, and if he was in Makkah or even out of Makkah,
he should return to Mina to perform them if the days of
Tashreeq (i.e. 10th, 11th and 12th day) have not passed. If he
could not return, he could appoint someone to perform Ramii at
all the three places on his behalf. If neither himself nor his
appointee did it in those three days then he or his appointee
would have to return to Mina the following year in those three
days to give its Qadha. H. If a person cannot
perform Ramii because of sickness and finds himself totally
incapable of doing it in the prescribed days he should appoint
someone to perform it on his behalf. If possible he should
hold the pebbles on his hand and then give them to his
appointee to throw. If he recovers during the days of Tashreeq,
there is no need to perform the Ramii again although it is
Ahwat to do so. I. If a person forgot to do Ramii of
Jamarat on one day and remembered it on the next day, he would
first give Qadha Ramii for the preceding day and then do Ramii
for that day. J. It is not Wajib to do Ramii on the
13th day if remaining there on the 13th night has not become
obligatory due to explained reasons.
