HAJJ

One of the fifth pillars of Islam is to make pilgrimage hajj- to mecca, in


Saudi Arabia, at least one in one's lifetime. This pillar is obligatory for every
Muslim, male or female, provided that he/she is physically and financially
.able to do so
On unique occasion, nearly 2 million Muslims from all over the globe meet
one another .the gathering during hajj is considered the largest annual
gathering of people in the world, and for everyone who attends the reward is
.-nothing less than paradise
The pilgrimage occurs from the 8th to 12th or in some cases 13th of dhu alhijah, the last month of the Islamic calendar. The Islamic calendar follows the
.lunar calendar so the date changes from year to year
Types of hajj
The ways in which the pilgrimage to mecca can be performed depends on
where the pilgrim lives or whether intends to make Umrah along with hajj or
whether one wants to offer an animal sacrifice or not. These variations have
;been grouped into 3 types and referred to as the three types of hajj
Hajj Ifrad-1
Hajj Qiran-2
;Hajj Tamattu-3
Tamattu` means performing `Umrah during the Hajj season and on the Day
of Tarwiyah the pilgrim gets into the state of Ihram for Hajj. Anyone intending
to perform a Tamattu' Hajj should make intention for `Umrah when
approaching the Miqat. The intention here should be for `Umrah. The pilgrim
should say

Isolated Hajj: The pilgrim


performing it is called Mufrid.
This type is allowed only for
those living within the
boundaries (Miqat) from which
Ihram is put on.

Accompanied Hajj: The pilgrim


performing it is called Qarin. It
can only be done by those living
outside the Miqat.

Enjoyable Hajj: The pilgrim


performing it is called
Mutamatti. It can only to be
done by those living outside the
Miqat

A pilgrim is required to enter the


state of Ihram with the intention of
doing Hajj only.

This is Hajj combined with


Umrah without coming out of
Ihram, The Qarin should enter the
state of Ihram with the intention of
performing Umrah and Hajj
together. The Qarin is not allowed
to come out of the Ihram no matter
how long the period between his
Umrah and Hajj may be.
For Hajj Qiran, the Umrah has to
be done within the months of Hajj
(Shawwal, Dhul-Qa'dah & the first
ten days of Dhul-Hijjah) and
completed before beginning the
rites of Hajj.

Umrah is combined with Hajj


under this type; however, a new
Ihram is made for the Hajj After
coming out of the Ihram of
Umrah, the Mutamattiis allowed
to do everything that was
permitted before going into the
state of Ihram.

When he reaches Mecca, he


performs Tawaf for his arrival and
Sa'i for Hajj.

The Tawaf made for Umrah takes


the place of the arrival Tawaf
(Tawaf al-Qudum). This is then
followed by 2 Rak'as Salah near to
Ibrahim's station (In case of heavy
traffic he may do the Salah
anywhere in the general area to
avoid causing problems with those
making their Tawaf).
The Mutamattishould clip his hair
instead of shaving it to come out of
his state of Ihram after completing
the Umrah part of his pilgrimage.

If a Mufrid performs Umrah


during the months of Hajj
(Shawwal, Dhul-Qa'dah & DhulHijjah) prior to the beginning of
the Hajj rites proper (8th of DhulHijjah), he is no longer considered
a Mufrid. He must now shift to one
of the other two types of Hajj
combine Umrah along with them
and their regulations must instead
be followed.
When he reaches Mecca, he
performs Tawaf for his arrival and
Sa'i for Hajj known as Tawaf al
Qudum (the arrival circuit). It is
permissible for him to postpone his
Sa'i for Hajj until after his Tawaf
for Hajj.

No shaving or clipping hair, as he


doesnt disengage from Ihram.
Instead, he remains in Ihram till
after he stones Jamrah Al-Aqabah
on the Eid day.

The Qarin should clip his hair after


Umrah instead of shaving it.

May offer an animal sacrifice if he


wants to, but he is under no
obligation to do so.

Must offer an animal sacrifice


which he brought along with him
from the boundaries known as the
Miqat.

Ifrad

Qiran

The Umrah has to be within the


months of Hajj and must be
completed before beginning the
rites of Hajj. After completing
Umrah, the pilgrim making Hajj
Tamattumust come out of his or
her state of Ihram.

Must offer an animal sacrifice, but


if he is unable to do so, he is
required to fast for ten days
according to

Tamattu
