Leaving Mina for Arafah - 9 Dhul-Hijjah After sunrise on the day of Arafah, depart for Arafah while making Talbiyah or Takbeer. 15

Arafah (1) - 9 Dhul-Hijjah Arrive at Arafah, before Zawal if possible. 16

Excellence of the day of Arafah The Prophet ( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ )ﻭﺳﻠﻢ said: "There is no day on which Allah frees more of His slaves from Fire than the Day of Arafah. He draws near, then praises them before the angles, saying: What do they seek? " 17

Arafah (2) - 9 Dhul-Hijjah Pray Dhuhr and Asr at Masjid Namira, two Rak’at each, combined at the time of Dhuhr, after listening to the Imam’s sermon. 18

Arafah (3) - 9 Dhul-Hijjah Arafah border Arafah Outside Arafah d s j i a M i r a m N a It may be difficult to go to Masjid Namira because of the crowd. In which case you may pray in 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. 19

Arafah (4) - 9 Dhul-Hijjah Follow the Sunnah of the Prophet ( ) ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ and join the Dhuhr and ‘Asr prayers if the Imam of the Masjid is a traveler otheraise make each salat on its own time in your camp or any other location in Arafah. After Salat move to your place inside the limits of Arafah, stand facing the Qiblah, raising your hands making Du'a and reciting Talbiyah. 20

Arafah (6) - 9 Dhul-Hijjah The Prophet ( ) ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ said: “The best thing that I and the Prophets have said on the evening of Arafah is: ﻟ ﺍﻟﻟ ﻟ ﺍﻟﻣ ﻟﻰ ﻛ ﻳ ﻗﻳﺮ ، ﻻ ﺇﻟ ﺇﻻ ﺍﻟﻠ ﺣ ﻻ ﺭﻳ ﻟﻪ "Laa ilaha illallaahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahul mulk wa lahul hamdu wa huwa 'alaa kulli shay'in qadeer. ” There is no god except Allah, He has no partner. To Him belongs all sovereignty and praise, and He is over all things omnipotent. 21

Leaving Arafah When the sun has set you leave Arafah for Muzdalifah, going with tranquility, pushing calmness not and jostling people; or rather whenever you find room then you go faster. 24

Leaving Arafah Make sure you don’t leave until after sunset. Caution: Some Hajj operators ask the pilgrims to get in the buses before sunset to get ready to leave after considered sunset. as leaving This To Muzdalifah is before sunset, because getting ready to leave is considered the time of leaving even though you may not pass the limits of Arafah until after sunset. ARAFAH 25

Pitfalls related to Arafah Fasting the Day of Arafah. The Sunnah for the pilgrim is not to fast that day. Leaving Arafah before sunset. Staying until after sunset is a Wajib (or even a Rukn according to Imam Malik). Standing outside the limits of Arafah. This invalidates the Rukn and hence the whole Hajj. Ascending the Mount of Mercy or facing it during Du’a thinking that it has some merit. Wasting time in sleeping, around food, in idle talking or wandering around for no purpose. The Day of Arafah is probably the best day of your life, do NOT waste it in anything other than Du’a and Dhikr of Allah ( )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﻪ ﻭﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ. 26

Muzdalifah (1) – night of 10 Dhul-Hijjah When reaching Muzdalifah pray Maghrib, then 'Isha, shortening it (Qasr), and joining the two prayers. You do not pray anything between 'Isha. them But or after always pray sunna and Witr. 27

Muzdalifah (2) – night of 10 Dhul-Hijjah You may collect pebbles here. Then you sleep until Fajr. Pray Fajr at the beginning of its time. 28

Muzdalifah (3) – night of 10 Dhul-Hijjah It is permissible for the weak, women and children to leave after half of the night has passed for fear of the crush of people. 29

Muzdalifah (4) - 10 Dhul-Hijjah Then you come to al-Mash'ar al-Haram (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 Mu. Hassir (between Mina and Muzdalifah) you hurry if possible. Masjid al-Mash'ar al-Haram 30

Pitfalls related to Muzdalifah Delaying the Maghrib and Isha prayers until after the middle of the night. The Sunnah is to delay the Maghrib and pray it with Isha in Muzdalifah if one reaches Muzdalifah but before the middle of the night. Otherwise it should be prayed anywhere within the time of Isha. Spending the night outside of the limits of Muzdalifah. Staying the night within Muzdalifah is a Wajib. Thinking that the pebbles have to be collected from Muzdalifah. They can be collected from anywhere. Leaving Muzdalifah before Fajr for fear of the crowd. The Prophet ( ) ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ gave permission to women and the weak only. Staying in Muzdalifah until after sunrise. The Sunnah is to leave close to sunrise (right before). 32

Mina - 10 Dhul-Hijjah ( )ﻳﻮﻡ ﺍﻟﺤﺞ ﺍﻷﻜﺒﺮ You arrive to Mina the morning of the 10 th 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 33

Mina - 10 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 first 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. Pebbles size 34

Mina - 10 Dhul-Hijjah Animal Sacrifice Skip this step if you made Tawkeel (deputizing) 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. 35

Mina - 10 Dhul-Hijjah Shaving 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. 36

Mina - 10 Dhul-Hijjah First Tahallul After shaving, go to your camp in Mina, take a shower, put on new clothes and fragrance. When you have stoned the Jamrah and shaved your head everything becomes lawful for you again except sexual intercourse, so you may wear your clothes and use perfume. This partial freedom is called the small Ta. Hallul ( )ﺍﻟﺘﺤﻠﻞ ﺍﻷﺼﻐﺮ. Narrated 'Aisha ( ) ﺭﺿﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻨﻬﺎ : I used to scent the Prophet ( ) ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ when he wanted to assume Ihram and also on finishing Ihram before the Tawaf round the Ka'bah (Tawaf al. Ifadah) [Bukhari & Muslim]. 37

Makkah - 10 Dhul-Hijjah Tawaf al-Ifadah 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'at behind Maqaam Ibraheem, if possible, or anywhere in the Masjid if not. Tawaf al-Ifadah is also called Tawaf az-Ziyarah or Tawaf al. Hajj. 38

Makkah - 10 Dhul-Hijjah Sa’y between Safa & Marwa Then you do Sa’y between the Safa and Marwa as before. After Tawaf al-Ifadah you are in a state of complete Ta. Hallul ( ﺍﻟﺘﺤﻠﻞ )ﺍﻷﻜﺒﺮ. All restrictions of Ihram are lifted. Drink from Zamzam. Return to Mina. 39

Sequence of Manasik on the 10 th 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 Ramy. " The Prophet replied, "Do the Ramy (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. 40

Mina - 11, 12, 13 Dhul-Hijjah Stay in Mina for the days of Tashreeq ( ﺃﺍﻡ ﺍﻟﺘﺸﺮﻳﻖ ) and their nights. It is better to stay in Mina during these days than going to Makkah. This is the Sunnah of the Prophet ( )ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ. 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 ( )ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ did it. 41

Mina - 11, 12, 13 Dhul-Hijjah Ramy Stone three Jamarat each with seven pebbles in each of those days, after Zawal (when the sun moves from its zenith, i. e. Dhuhr time). After second the first and Jamarat, the move forward to the side and stand facing the Qiblah for a long time making Du'a while raising your hands. 42

Mina - 12 or 13 Dhul-Hijjah Leaving Mina You may leave Mina before sunset if you wish after you perform the Ramy on the 12 th of Dhul-Hijjah. Staying to perform the Ramy on the 13 th is preferable as it is the Sunnah of the Prophet ( )ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ. 43

Pitfalls of Ramy (pelting) Performing the Ramy during the Days of Tashreeq before Zawal (midday). The Prophet ( ) ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ did the Ramy in all three days after Zawal. It is permissible to delay it until after Asr or even to the night if it’s too crowded. Throwing the pebbles all at once. They have to be thrown one by one. Thinking that the pebble has to hit the post or the wall. It is sufficient to cast the pebble into the circled area. Putting the pebbles into the circles area without casting. They have to be pelted. Casting more than 7 pebbles. Pushing and shoving. Throwing objects other than small pebbles, like shoes, sticks, umbrellas and large rocks. Making Tawkeel (deputizing) in Ramy without a valid reason (like illness). 44

Pitfalls related to Mina Spending the days of Mina and their nights outside of Mina (like Makkah). Permission is given only to those with a valid reason (like caring for the sick or someone who cannot afford staying in Mina). Otherwise a Wajib is missed. Some pilgrims go to Makkah to perform Tawaf al-Wada’ and return to Mina to do the Ramy. Tawaf al-Wada’ (not the Ramy) should be the last act of Hajj. Leaving Mina before the 12 th of Dhul-Hijjah. Pilgrims can leave Mina only on the 12 th after performing Ramy of the 3 Jamarat, or on the 13 th after Ramy as well. 45

Makkah – After Mina After you have finished the Ram’y on the 12 th or the 13 th of Dhul-Hijjah (2 nd or 3 rd day of Tashreeq) you have completed your Manasik (with the exception of Tawaf al. Wada’). You go to Makkah and stay there if your package arranges for extra days in Makkah after Hajj. While in Makkah make sure you pray with the Jama’ah in the masjid for the exceptional reward of that salat. Make nafl Tawaf (voluntary Tawaf) as much as possible. 48

Makkah - Last day The Prophet ( ) ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ said: "None of you should depart until he makes his last act Tawaf of the House. " Farewell Tawaf (al-Wada’) is an obligatory act on everyone except menstruating women who are excused. The prophet ( ) ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ 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 Tawaf you leave the Masjid walking normally - not backwards. 49

Changing The Niyah… 54

Changing the Niyah of Hajj & Umra The residents of Makkah (residing within the Haram of Makkah) can only perform Ifrad. The Niyah of Qiran or Tamattu’ cannot be changed to Ifrad. The Niyah of Tamattu’ can be changed to Qiran only if: The pilgrim is unable to go to Makkah to complete the Umra prior to proceeding to Mina or Arafah. The woman’s menstruation starts prior to Tawaf al-Qudoom and she is due to proceed to Mina or Arafah. The Qaarin should change his Niyah to Tamattu’ if he did not bring his animal sacrifice with him and has the time to perform Umra prior to Hajj. 55

Arriving Late: 8 th Dhul-Hijjah If you arrive on the 8 th of Dhul-Hijjah and you are able to go to Makkah to perform Tawaf and Sa’y then you can do Tamattu’ or Qiran. To do Tamattu’, complete the Umra by taking from your hair (after Tawaf and Sa’y). This is Tahallul. It is not required to take off the Ihram towels to complete the Umra. Then assume Ihram for Hajj right away from your place and proceed to Mina. To do Qiran, proceed to Mina after you finish Tawaf and Sa’y. Complete the rest of the Hajj rituals as explained, but you don’t have to perform Sa’y after Tawaf al-Ifadah since you already did it after the first Tawaf. Alternatively, you can delay the Sa’y until after Tawaf al-Ifadah, but the first form is preferable. If you are not able to go to Makkah for Tawaf and Sa’y, then make Ihram for “Hajj and Umra” (Qiran) or “Hajj only” (Ifrad) from your Meeqat and proceed directly to Mina and complete your Hajj as explained. In this case the only difference between Ifrad and Qiran is the intention. No animal sacrifice is required in the case of Ifrad. 56

Arriving Late: 9 th Dhul-Hijjah If you arrive on the 9 th of Dhul-Hijjah then proceed directly to Arafah. You would have assumed Ihram for “Hajj and Umra” (Qiran) or “Hajj only” (Ifrad). Complete the rest of the rituals as explained for the Hajj procedure. Offer Hady in the case of Qiran. 57
