3. Hajj
Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam which
has been made obligatory on every
Muslim.

4. Allah says in the Qur’an:
َِ‫و ّ َِ علَى النّ ّ ِ ح ِ البَيتِّ منِّ اسِ َطا ِ إلَي ِ س ً ِ ِ ومن كَِر‬
‫ت ع ّ ه َبيل ۚ َ َ َف‬
‫اس ّ ج‬
ّ
ّ َ
َ ‫َ لِل‬
َ
َِ‫فَإّنَِ َِ غن ِ عنِّ العٰ لَمين‬
‫الِل َ ّى‬
َ
“ And [due] to Allah from the people is a pilgrimage
to the House - for whoever is able to find thereto
a way. But whoever disbelieves - then indeed,
Allah is free from need of the worlds.”
(Surah Ale-Imran:97)

5. ّ
َِ‫وأَذ ّن فى النّ ّ ِ بالح ِ يَأتوكَِ ر ًِ وَِع ِٰ كُ ِ ضام ِ يَأتين‬
‫ّر‬
‫ّ جال َلى ل‬
‫َ ّ ّ اس ّ َ ج‬
ّّ
‫ّ ل ج َميق‬
ِ ‫من ك ُ ِ ف َ ِ ع‬
ّ ّ
“And proclaim to mankind the Hajj
(pilgrimage). They will come to you on foot
and on every lean camel, they will come from
every deep and distant (wide) mountain
highway (to perform Hajj).”
(Surah Al-Hajj:27)

6. The Messenger of Allah (‫ )صلي ُِ علي ِ وسلم‬said:
‫للا ه‬
ّ
“Islam is built upon five [pillars]: the testimony that
there is no god but Allah and that Muhammed is the
Messenger of Allah; establishing regular prayer
(salaah); paying the zakaah; Hajj (pilgrimage) and
fasting Ramadan.”
(Agreed upon; narrated by al-Bukhaari, no. 8)

7. Abu Huraira ُ ِ ‫)رضى ِ ُ عن‬said that the Prophet, ( ُ ِ ‫صلي‬
‫للا ه‬
‫للا‬
‫ ,)علي ِ وسلم‬was asked, "What action is the best?" He replied,
‫ه‬
ّ
"Belief in Allah and His Messenger." He was asked, "Then
what?" and replied, "Jihad in the way of Allah." He was
asked, "And then what?" He replied, "An accepted Hajj."
[Agreed upon]
Abu Huraira ُ ِ ‫رضى ِ ُ عن‬said, "I heard the Messenger of
‫للا ه‬
Allah, (‫ ,)صلي ِ ُ علي ِ وسلم‬say, 'Whoever goes on Hajj for
‫للا ه‬
ّ
Allah alone and does not have sexual intercourse or commit
any outrage will return as he was on the day his mother bore
him.'" [Agreed upon]

8. Faraid (Obligations) of Hajj
There are three faraid (obligations) of Hajj, without which the Hajj
remains incomplete.
1. To assume Ihraam: That is to form Niyyah (intention) to perform Hajj
and to recite Talbiyah (Labbaik in full).
2. Wuquuf at Arafaat: To stay at Arafat anytime, even if it be for a
moment, from after Zawaal (the moment after mid-day) of the 9th
Dhul Hijjah to the dawn of the 10th Dhul Hijjah. This is the Rukn ( an
indispensable part) of Hajj. To begin Wuquuf immediately after Zawaal is
a Sunnah.
3. Tawaaf e Ziyarah: It may be performed any time from the morning of
the 10th Dhul Hijjah till the sunset of the 12th Dhul Hijjah after
ritual shaving.

9. Wajibaat of Hajj
There are six wajibaat of Hajj:
1. Wuquuf at Muzdalifah: That is Qiyaam (to stay) at the appointed
time during the halt at Muzdalifah
2. Sa’ee (traversing seven times) between Safaa and Marwah: It is
Makruh (reprehensible) to delay Sa’ee till after the days
prescribed for Qurbani but no Jazaa will be due
3. Ramyul Jamar: Pelting at Jamaraat
4. To offer a sacrifice: It is due only on a Qarin or a Mutamatti.
5. Have the head shaved or hair cut short
6. Tawaaf alWada (FarewellTawaaf)

10. Forbidden acts in the state of Ihraam
 Once the Ihraam is put on, neither the body nor the Ihraam
sheets should be scented
 When one dies in the state of Ihraam, no scent should be applied
to him, nor his head placed inside the shroud.
 A Muhrim woman shall not put a veil over her face during Hajj.
However if the need arises to conceal the face, she may use a
sheet of cloth and even if that touches her face there is no harm.
 Wearing of gloves is not permitted for a Muhrim woman.

11. Forbidden acts in the state of Ihraam
 To go hunting a land-based animal or slaughtering is prohibited
to a person in Ihraam.
 While in Ihraam one can not even offer any assistance to a
person engaged in hunting.
 If one who is not in Ihraam, has killed a game for himself and
later offers it to a Muhrim, he can partake of that animal food,
but if that game was meant for Muhrim only, then it is not lawful
for the Muhrim to eat that food. ( refer to Saheeh Muslim,The Book of Hajj,
chapter,“Land hunting is forbidden for Muhrim”)

12. Forbidden acts in the state of Ihraam
 To have sexual relations with spouse in the state of Ihraam is
forbidden. Breach of it renders the Hajj invalid.
 A person in Ihraam should abstain from an act or talk which is
sexually stimulating and should not commit any brawl or
wrangling.
 A person when he is in Ihraam can neither marry nor can he
conduct the marriage of another. Nor can he even send a
proposal for marriage.
Reference: Chap. 15 Forbidden acts in the state of Ihram, The book of
Hajj and Umrah, compiled by Muhammad Iqbal Kailani

13. 3 Types of Hajj
 Depending on where the pilgrim lives, whether he intends
to performUmrah before Hajj or whether one wants to offer
an animal sacrifice, Hajj can be classified into three
categories:
 Hajj e Ifrad
 Hajj e Qiran
 Hajj e Tamattu

14. Hajj e Tamattu

15. Hajj e Tamattu
 The word tamattu is from the word ‘matta’ which means ‘to
reap profit’
 Hajj e Tamattu’ involves performing Umrah and then Hajj,
with one Ihraam for each.
This form of Hajj is considered the best of three forms of Hajj.
It is the one that the Prophet Muhammad ( ِ ‫صلي ِ ُ علي‬
‫للا ه‬
ّ
‫ )وسلم‬urged his followers to perform and is the one adopted
by most pilgrims from overseas.

20. Miqaat
 There are five places some distance from the Holy City of
Makkah which pilgrims must not cross before they are in a
state of Ihraam if they intend to enter al Masjid al Haram for
Umrah or Hajj.These points or stations are called Miqaat.

ّ
Madinah; Al-Juhfa for the people of Sham; Qarn al-Manaazil
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 'Umrah; and
whoever is living within these boundaries can assume lhraam
from the place he starts, and the people of Makkah can
assume Ihraam from Makkah. [Bukhari & Muslim]

40. HAJJ-E-QIRAN

42. Method
1. To put on Ihraam (two sheets) from Miqaat with one intention
for both Hajj and Umrah
Assuming Ihraam for both Hajj and Umrah together, the
intention for both is expressed as:
Narrated by Anas (ُ ِ ‫ )رضى ِ ُ عن‬I have heard Allah’s Messenger
‫للا ه‬
(‫ )صلي هللا عليه وسلم‬reciting Talbiya:
‫لبيك عمرة والحج‬
I am here for Hajj and Umrah (Muslim)

43.  Ihraam for Hajj-e- Qiran :
Wearing Ihraam for both Umrah and Hajj without
coming out of the Ihraam
 Hajj-e- Qiran – types and number of Tawaaf:
 Three Tawaaf
Tawaaf-e-Umrah
Tawaaf-e- Ziyarah
Tawaaf-e-Wada

45.  It is a tradition to take bath before assuming Ihraam
Narrated by Zaid bin Thabit ( ُ ِ ‫رضى ِ ُ عن‬The Prophet
‫للا ه‬
(‫ )صلي هللا عليه وسلم‬took steps to take bath for the
purpose of wearing Ihraam (Tirmidhi)
 Before putting on Ihram body may be scented. It is a
tradition.
Narrated Ayesha (‫ “ :)رضى ِ ُ عنهما‬I used to apply the
‫للا‬
best of perfumes to the body of the Messenger of Allah
‫ صلي هللا عليه وسلم‬before He assumed Ihraam” (Muslim)

46. 
Perform Umrah on reaching Makkah, but neither to shave
the head or shorten the hair, nor to untie the Ihraam after
it. Instead, to remain in Ihraam and wait for the Hajj days.

To reach Mina before the Zuhr prayer on the 8th of Zil-Hijj,
uttering Talbiyah; to offer three prayers of Zuhr, Asr,
Maghrib and Isha (qasr with congregation) and to offer Fajr
prayer on 9th of Zil-Hijj.

47. Talbiyah
 Talbiyah should be made in a loud voice
 And the one saying the talbiyyah is ORDERED to raise his voice
with it, as the Prophet ‫ صلي هللا عليه وسلم‬said: Jibreel came to me
and asked me to tell my companions to raise their voices with
Ihlal (i.e.Talbiyah). [Ahmed andTirmidhi]
 And he said: "the best Hajj is shouting out. Therefore the
companions of the Prophet ‫ صلي هللا عليه وسلم‬when they entered
into ihraam, by the time they reached `Ar-Rauhaa' their voices had
tired out.
 Making Talbiyah in a low voice is against the Sunnah of the
Prophet ‫ .صلي هللا عليه وسلم‬It should be recited aloud.

48.  Repeating the Talbiyah after a "guide" is also against the
Sunnah. The Companions of the Prophet ‫ صلي هللا عليه وسلم‬used
to recite it individually
 The majority of scholars say that a woman should make
Talbiyah in a low voice.
