The Pillars of

Islam

Lesson 1

Lesson 1 Notes
The Pillars of Islam - Review

The Pillars of Islam are five in number

 Shahaadah – To testify „La ilaha il-Allah wa Muhammadur-Rasoolullah‟ (There is

no god worthy of worship except Allah and Muhammad ‫ ﷺ‬is His Messenger)

 Salaah – To pray the five daily prayers (Fajr, Dhuhr, „Asr, Maghrib, „Ishaa)

 Zakaah – To give from our wealth to the poor and needy

 Saum – To fast the month of Ramadan

 Hajj – To make pilgrimage to the House of Allah (the Ka‟bah) in Makkah

What‟s the Proof?

 The Hadith of Jibreel – Saheeh Bukhaari & Muslim

 See also the third hadith recorded in the Forty Hadith of Imam an-Nawawi

Ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said,
“Islam is built upon five: to worship Allah and to disbelieve in what is worshiped
besides him, to establish prayer, to give charity, to perform Hajj pilgrimage to the
house, and to fast the month of Ramadan.”

Lesson 2 Notes
The Obligation of Hajj

What is Hajj?

 The Definition of Hajj in the Arabic Language – It is pronounced with both a

Fat.ha and a Kas.ra … Hajj ( َ ) and Hijj (‫)حج‬.
ِ It means to intend something
and carrying it out.

 The Definition of Hajj in the Shari‟ah – It is to make pilgrimage to the House of

Allah as has been legislated throughout the Book of Allah. Refer to Surah Hajj
22:27, Surah al-Baqarah 2:196, Surah Aal-i-Imran 3:97 and Surah al-Baqarah
2:158

Who must do Hajj?

 Hajj is an obligation established by the five Pillars of Islam. It is to be performed

by every sound-minded, able-bodied Muslim who has the means and the provision
to carry out the rituals.

Who doesn‟t have to do Hajj?

 A person may be excused from the obligation of Hajj if they do not have the
means or the ability to carry it out, For example, if a person cannot afford to
make the journey for Hajj, or does not have enough provisions for his family
while he is away, he is not obliged to make Hajj.

If a person is too sick, disabled, too old or not of sound mind, they are also
excused from going for the Hajj.

Hajj is not an obligation upon children although they are not prevented from
taking part, and the scholars have differed over whether their Hajj will be
accepted. Likewise, a woman who does not have a mahram is not obliged to go
for Hajj and it is disliked for her to perform the Hajj alone even as part of a
group of women.

Lesson 3 Notes
The Types of Hajj

Hajj al-Ifrad

 Ifrad means entering ihram for Hajj only. When the pilgrim reaches Makkah he
performs Tawaaf al-Qudoom (Tawaf of Arrival) and Sa‟ee for Hajj, but he does
not shave or cut his hair and does not exit ihram, rather he remains in ihram
until he exits ihram after stoning Jamrat al-„Aqabah on the day of „Eid. If he
delays the Sa‟ee of Hajj until after the Tawaaf of Hajj, there is nothing wrong
with that.

Hajj al-Qiran

 Qiran means entering Ihram for „Umrah and Hajj both together. Or entering
ihram for „Umrah first then including Hajj in that before starting the Tawaaf of
Hajj. That is done by intending that his Tawaaf and Sa‟ee will be for both Hajj
and „Umrah. The actions done in Qiran are the same as those done in Ifrad,
except that the pilgrim doing Qiran has to offer a Hadee (sacrifice) whereas the
pilgrim doing Ifrad does not.

Hajj at-Tamattu‟

 Tamattu‟ means entering Ihram for „Umrah only during the months of Hajj (the
months of Hajj are Shawwal, Dhul-Qa‟dah and Dhul-Hijjah; see al-Sharh al-
Mumti‟, 7/62). When the pilgrim reaches Makkah he performs Tawaaf and Sa‟ee
for „Umrah, and shaves his head or cuts his hair, and exits Ihram. Then when the
day of al-Tarwiyyah, which is the 8th of Dhu‟l-Hijjah, comes, he enters Ihram for
Hajj only, and does all the actions of Hajj. So Tamattu‟ involves a complete
„Umrah and a complete Hajj.

The Best Type of Hajj

 The Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬performed Hajj al-Qiran but he expressed his regret that, had he
not already brought a Hadee with him, he would have performed Tamattu‟, and
encouraged his companions to change their intention to do Tamattu‟.

Lesson 4 Notes
Dhul-Hijjah – The Sacred Month of Pilgrimage

Allah created 12 months

 The 12 Islamic Months are – Muharram, Safar, Rabi al-Awwal, Rabi ath-Thani,
Jumada al-Awwal, Jumada ath-Thani, Rajab, Sha‟ban, Ramadan, Shawwal, Dhul-
Qa‟dah and Dhul-Hijjah

 Four of the months are sacred – Rajab, Dhul-Qa‟dah, Dhul-Hijjah and Muharram.

 Refer to Surah at-Tawbah 9:36 and its tafsir.

Why is Dhul-Hijjah a Sacred Month?

 Dhul-Hijjah is the month of Hajj. Its first ten days are the most virtuous ten
days of the year.

 Ibn Abbas reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “No good
deeds are better than what is done in these first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah.” Some
companions of the Prophet said, “Not even jihad in the way of Allah?” The Prophet
said, “Not even jihad in the way of Allah, except for a man who goes out with his
life and wealth at risk and he returns with nothing.”

Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Bukhari

‫َع ْن ى ْنا ِ ى َع َّب ٍساى َع ْن ى الَّب ِ ِى َع َّب ى َّب ُهى َع َع ْن ِ ى َع َع َّب َع ى َع َّب ُهى َع َعاى‬

Lesson 5 Notes
Entering the State of Ihram

What is Ihram?

 Ihram is the state which a pilgrim enters, beginning with an intention to perform
umrah and/or hajj (this is not a verbal intention), and the wearing of Ihram
garments while intending to complete the obligations and avoid the prohibitions.

The Garments of Ihram

 For a man – 2 unstitched garments comprising of an upper garment called a

Rida‟ and a lower garment called an Izar and sandals or leather socks (khufoof).

 For a woman – A full body covering called a jilbab, a covering that fully covers
her head (hair), neck and chest called a khimar and closed shoes or sandals that
do not expose her feet.

The Obligations of Ihram

 To enter the state of Ihram from a miqat (a station for beginning Hajj).

 To avoid wearing sewn garments (for men). Whoever neglects an obligation must
offer a sacrifice. The one unable to offer a sacrifice, must fast 3 days during Hajj
then 7 days upon returning home (if it is too hard to complete 3 days during
Hajj, then 10 days when he returns home).

The Sunnahs of Ihram

 Once in a state of Ihram, it is forbidden to cut one‟s hair or nails. It is

forbidden to use perfume or scented soap. It is not allowed to engage in
intercourse (or whatever leads to it). It is prohibited to wear gloves/niqab (for
women), to cover the head (for men), or to hunt and kill game (land animals).
The Fidyah for doing the above is to sacrifice a sheep, or feed 6 poor persons or
fast for 3 days.

Lesson 6 Notes
Miqat (Mawaqit) – Stations of Ihram

What is a Miqat?

 A Miqat (plural: Mawaqit) is a station or starting point outside of Makkah

where the pilgrims enter the state of Ihram before beginning the Hajj. There are
5 mawaqit which were fixed by the Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬himself.

The Names of the Mawaqit

 Dhul-Hulayfah – 9km from Madinah and 450km to the north of Makkah, this
Miqat is for the people of Madinah and those passing from that direction.

 Al-Juhfah (Rabigh) – 187km north-west of Makkah is the Miqat for those

coming from Syria, Jordan, Palestine and Lebanon. Rabigh (204km) from
Makkah became the miqat for the people travelling from Syria and Egypt after
the settlement of Al-Juhfah disappeared completely.

 Qarn al-Manazil – is the Miqat for the people of Najd, a mountain 94km to the
east of Makkah, overlooking Mount Arafah.

 Yalamlam – a mountain 54km to the south of Makkah is the miqat for those
coming from the direction of Yemen and those travelling by sea from India and
East-Asia

 Dhat-„Irq – 94km to the north-east of Makkah is the miqat for the people of
Iraq and those travelling from that direction.

Lesson 7 Notes
Reciting the Talbiyah

The Wording of the Talbiyah (and its meaning)

 “Labbayka Allahumma Labbayk. Labbayk Laa Sharīka Laka Labbayk. Inna l-Hamda,
Wan-Ni'mata, Laka wal Mulk, Laa Sharīka Lak.”

 Meaning: “Here I am, O Allah! Here I am. Here I am, You have no partner, here I
am. Verily, all praise and blessings are Yours, and all sovereignty, You have no
partner.”

 It is authentically reported that some of the Companions, may Allah be pleased

with them, would recite other wordings such as: “I am at Your service, O Lord of
the ways of ascent.” and “I am at Your service and seeking Your Pleasure, all
goodness is in Your Hands and no evil is attributed to You.” And the Messenger
of Allah ‫ ﷺ‬did not disapprove of this.

 The men should raise their voices when reciting the Talbiyah but they should not
recite in unison as this was not the way of the Messenger ‫ ﷺ‬and his companions.
The women should not raise their voices, instead they should only recite loud
enough that they can hear their own voice.

When does reciting the Talbiyah begin and end?

 One should begin reciting the Talbiyah from the time he becomes a „muhrim‟
(enters the state of Ihram) and he should continue to recite at every
opportunity up until the tenth day of Dhul Hijjah upon completing the stoning of
the Jamaraat. Reciting the Talbiyah is stopped if there is a need to stop, and it
is not recited whilst makes Tawaaf of the Ka‟bah.
Lesson 7

Lesson 7 Notes
Reciting the Talbiyah

 The person who does the Talbiyah is the person who submits to Allah, nullifying
service to other than Him, just as a slave only submits to one master. The
meaning, therefore, of the Talbiyah is to proclaim: “Verily, I have responded to
Your call, submitting to You by Your Wisdom, obedient to You and obedient to
Your Command time after time, constantly obeying You without limit or
exception.”

 An-Nasaa‟i (2753), at-Tirmidhi (829), Abu Dawood (1814) and Ibn Maajah
(2923) narrated from as-Saa‟ib ibn Khallaad that the Messenger of Allah
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Jibreel came to me and said: „O
Muhammad! Tell your companions to raise their voices when reciting the Talbiyah.‟”
Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh an-Nasaa‟i.

 A version narrated by Ibn Maajah says: “Let them raise their voices when reciting
the Talbiyah, for it is one of the symbols of Hajj.”

 At-Tirmidhi (827) and Ibn Maajah (2896) narrated from Abu Bakr as-Siddeeq
that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) was asked: Which
(actions of) Hajj are best? He said: “Raising the voice in Talbiyah and slaughtering
the sacrificial animal.” Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh at-Tirmidhi.

Lesson 8 Notes
Tawaaf – Circumambulating the Ka‟bah

 Upon reaching the Masjid al-Haram, the pilgrim first enters with their right foot,
reciting in the Name of Allah, sending salutations upon the Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬and then
reciting from the supplications for entering the masjid.

 It is reported that the Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬would make wudhoo and then hasten to do
Tawaaf. He would leave off praying the two rakat of Tahiyatul-Masjid (Greeting
the Masjid) since Tawaaf is the greeting of Masjid al-Haram.

 He ‫ ﷺ‬would begin with standing in front of the Black Stone, and he would kiss it
if he was able to do so - if one cannot kiss it, then touching it, or pointing
towards it will suffice, and it is not permissible to push and harm people in order
to try to reach it. Then one should make takbeer (say: „Allahu akbar‟).

 To begin the Tawaaf, one must keep the Ka‟bah on their left side and walk in an
anti-clockwise direction. One must walk around the Hijr and not between it and
the Ka‟bah since it is included as part of the House and doing so may invalidate
the Tawaaf.

 One must make Tawaaf around the Ka‟bah seven times, beginning at the Black
Stone and finishing at the Black Stone. Each time he passes the Black Stone, he
should make takbeer. It is not permissible to kiss any part of the Ka‟bah except
for the Black Stone and it is not permissible to touch any part of the Ka‟bah
except for the Black Stone and the Yemeni Corner since this was the Sunnah of
Allah‟s Messenger ‫ﷺ‬

 For the first three circuits, it is from the Sunnah for the man to perform
ar-Raml, which is similar to jogging or walking at a fast pace whilst keeping the
space between each step, short. And it is also recommended for him to do
al-Idtibaa‟ which is to place his ridaa‟ (upper half of his Ihram garment)
underneath his right armpit and going over his left shoulder, exposing his right
shoulder. Once he completes the Tawaaf, he must cover his upper body again.
Lesson 8

Lesson 8 Notes
Tawaaf – Circumambulating the Ka‟bah

 It is recommended for the one doing Tawaaf to remember Allah, to supplicate to

Him with that which He has legislated, and if he recites the Qur‟an to himself
there is no harm in this. There is no specific supplication for the Tawaaf, rather,
the Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬supplicated with general supplications reported in the Sharee‟ah.

 It is reported that the Prophet finished his Tawaaf between the Two Pillars (the
Yemeni Corner and the Black Stone) and he would make du‟a, saying: “Our Lord!
Give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good,
and save us from the punishment of the Fire!” [al-Baqarah 2:201]

 Upon completing the Tawaaf, one should pray two rak‟ah as close as possible to
the Maqam Ibrahim. It is recommended to recite in them the two surahs of
sincerity: Soorah al-Kafiroon and Soorah al-Ahad (al-Ikhlas).

 If people pass in front of the one doing Tawaaf or praying at the Maqam Ibrahim,
there is no harm in this in-shaa‟-Allah, since an exception is made in this masjid
due to the great number of people.

 After performing the two rak‟ah at the Maqam Ibrahim, it is recommended, to

drink Zam-Zam water at the Black Stone (if it is possible to reach it) and to
supplicate after drinking. It is allowed for the pilgrim to take water with him to
take home as this is something the Salaf would do. It is not from the Sunnah to
bathe in Zam-Zam water as some people do.

Lesson 9 Notes
Construction of the Ka‟bah

 Built by Prophet Ibrahim and his son, Isma‟eel ‫ علٍ ها السيم‬the Ka‟bah is made of

grey stone taken from the surrounding hills of Makkah.

 Although it looks box-shaped, the Ka‟bah is actually rectangular. It is thirteen

metres in length, nine metres wide and a little over 13 metres tall. It is raised
on a marble base called shadharwan.

 Its corners are known as arkan. The eastern corner is called ar-rukn al-Aswad after
the Black Stone fixed to its corner. The other three corners are named after
the countries they face. The southern corner, facing Yemen, is called al-rukn al-
Yamani; the northern corner, facing Iraq, is called al-rukn al-Iraqi and the western
corner, facing Syria, is called is called al-rukn al-Shaami.

 Inside the Ka‟bah there are wooden pillars which support the roof. The walls and
the floor are covered with marble.

 A thick semi-circular wall of white marble about a metre tall runs from the north
to the west corner of the Ka‟bah without being connected to it. This is known as
Hijr Isma‟eel or al-Hateem. In the past, this semi-circular space was part of the
Ka‟bah.

 The door of the Ka‟bah is on the northern side, two metres above the ground.
The Ka‟bah is covered with a huge, black, decorative cover called the kiswa. It is
decorated with ayat from the Qur‟an.

Lesson 11 Notes
Sa‟ee – Between al-Safa and Al-Marwa

 Al-Safa and Al-Marwa are two hills in Makkah. And the Sa‟ee (running/walking
between them) recalls the story of Hajar and the infant, Isma‟eel and her
desperate search for water before the emergence of the well of Zam-Zam.

 The ruling, according to the majority of scholars, is that Sa‟ee is a pillar of Hajj,
without which, Hajj would be incomplete.

Conditions of Sa‟ee:

 Making the Intention

 It should be done after Tawaaf

 It should start at al-Safa and end at al-Marwa

 It should be done seven times

 It should be done in the well known Mas‟a (place of Sa‟ee)

Sunnahs of Sa‟ee:

 It should be done straight after Tawaaf unless one has an excuse

 Climbing up on al-Safa and al-Marwa and reciting Tahleel (La ilaha ill-Allah)
and Takbeer (Allahu akbar)

 Walking as fast as possible between the two green markers – this applies to
men only. Women are to walk at a normal pace.

Lesson 12 Notes
The Well of Zam-Zam & the Origin of Sa‟ee

 Ibn „Abbaas ‫ رعً َّللا عًه‬narrated the story of Hajar ‫ رعً َّللا عً ا‬- the wife of
Ibrahim ‫ علٍه السيم‬and the mother of his son, Isma‟eel ‫علٍه السيم‬

 He said: Ibrahim brought her and her son Ismaa‟eel while she was nursing him, to
a place near the Ka'bah under a tree on the spot of Zam-Zam, at the highest
place in the masjid.

 During those days there was nobody in Makkah, nor was there any water. So he
made them sit over there and placed near them a leather bag containing some
dates, and a small water-skin containing some water, and set out homeward.

 Isma‟eel's mother followed him saying, "O Ibrahim! Where are you going, leaving us
in this valley where there is no person whose company we may enjoy, nor is there
anything (to enjoy)?" She repeated that to him many times, but he did not look
back at her. Then she asked him, "Has Allah ordered you to do this?" He said,
"Yes." She said, "Then He will not neglect us," and returned while Ibrahim went
on his way.

 When he reached al-Thaniyyah, where they could not see him, he faced the Ka'bah, and
raising both hands, prayed to Allah in the following words:

“O our Lord! I have made some of my offspring to dwell in an uncultivable valley by Your
Sacred House (the Ka„bah at Makkah) in order, O our Lord, that they may perform the
Prayer (Iqaamat-as-Salaah). So fill some hearts among men with love towards them, and
(O Allah) provide them with fruits so that they may give thanks” - Surah Ibraahim 14:37

 Isma‟eel's mother went on nursing Isma‟eel and drinking from the water (she had). When
the water in the water-skin had all been used up, she became thirsty and her child also
became thirsty. She started looking at him tossing in agony (or he said: kicking with his
heels).
Lesson 12

Lesson 12 Notes
The Well of Zam-Zam & the Origin of Sa‟ee

 She left him, for she could not endure looking at him, and found that the mountain of
al-Safa was the nearest mountain to her on that land. She stood on it and started
looking at the valley keenly so that she might see somebody, but she could not see
anybody.

 Then she descended from al-Safa and when she reached the valley, she tucked up her robe
and ran in the valley like a person in distress and trouble, till she crossed the valley and
reached al-Marwa where she stood and started looking, expecting to see somebody, but
she could not see anybody. She repeated that (running between al-Safa and al-Marwa)
seven times.

 Ibn „Abbaas said: the Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬said, "This is the source of the tradition of the walking
between them (i.e. al-Safa and al-Marwa).

 When she reached al-Marwa (for the last time) she heard a voice and she asked herself
to be quiet and listened attentively. She heard the voice again and said, “O (whoever
you may be)! You have made me hear your voice; have you got something to help me?"

 Then she saw an angel at the place of Zam-Zam, digging the earth with his heel (or his
wing), till water flowed from that place.

 She started to make something like a basin around it, using her hand in this way, and
started filling her water-skin with water with her hands, and the water started flowing
out after she had scooped some of it."

 Ibn „Abbaas said: The Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬added, "May Allah bestow Mercy on Isma‟eel's mother!
Had she left the Zam-Zam alone (flowing without trying to control it, or had she not
scooped from that water to fill her water-skin), it would have been a stream flowing on
the surface of the earth."

Lesson 13 Notes
The Virtuous 10 Days of Dhul-Hijjah

The Virtue of the First Ten Days of Dhul-Hijjah:

 Among the special seasons of worship are the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah , which Allah
has preferred over all the other days of the year. Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with
him and his father) reported that the Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬said: "There are no days in which
righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days." The people asked, "Not
even jihad for the sake of Allah?" He said, "Not even jihad for the sake of Allah, except
in the case of a man who went out to fight giving himself and his wealth up for the
cause, and came back with nothing." (Reported by al-Bukhari, 2/457)

 Allah swears an oath by them, and swearing an oath by something is indicative of its
importance and great benefit. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): "By the dawn;
by the ten nights" [al-Fajr 89:1-2]. Ibn 'Abbas, Ibn al-Zubayr, Mujahid and others of
the earlier and later generations said that this refers to the first ten days of Dhul-
Hijjah. Ibn Kathir said: "This is the correct opinion." (Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 8/413)

 The Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬testified that these are the best days in which to do righteous deeds

 The Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬encouraged people to do righteous deeds because of the virtue of this
season for people throughout the world, and also because of the virtue of the place -
for the Hujjaj (pilgrims) to the Sacred House of Allah.

 The Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬commanded us to recite a lot of Tasbih ("Subhan-Allah"), Tahmid ("Al-

hamdu Lillah") and Takbir ("Allahu akbar") during this time. „Abdullah ibn „Umar
reported that the Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬said: "There are no days greater in the sight of Allah and
in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Him than these ten days, so during this
time recite a great deal of Tahlil ("La ilaha ill-Allah"), Takbir (Allahu akbar) and Tahmid
(Alhamdulillah)" (Reported by Ahmad, 7/224; Ahmad Shakir stated that it is sahih)

 These ten days include the Day of „Arafah, on which Allah perfected His Religion. Fasting
on this day will expiate for the sins of two years. These days also include Yawm al-
Nahar (the Day of Sacrifice ), the greatest day of the entire year and the greatest day
of Hajj , which combines acts of worship in a way unlike any other day.
 These ten days include the days of sacrifice and of Hajj.
Lesson 13

Lesson 13 Notes
The Virtuous 10 Days of Dhul-Hijjah

Types of „Ibaadah in the First Ten Days of Dhul-Hijjah:

 It is Sunnah to fast on the ninth day of Dhul-Hijjah, because the Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬urged us
to do good deeds during this time, and fasting is one of the best of deeds. Allah has
chosen fasting for Himself, as is stated in the hadith qudsi: "Allah says: „All the deeds
of the son of Adam are for him, except for fasting, which is for Me and I am the One
Who will reward him for it.‟" (Reported by al-Bukhari, 1805).

 The Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬used to fast on the first nine days of Dhul-Hijjah. It was narrated from
Hunaydah ibn Khalid from his wife, that one of the wives of the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬used to fast on the first nine
days of Dhul-Hijjah and the day of „Ashura, and three days each month, the first Monday
of the month and two Thursdays.” Narrated by al-Nasai, 4/205 and by Abu Dawud;
classed as sahih by al-Albani in Sahih Abi Dawud, 2/462.

 It is Sunnah to say Takbir ("Allahu akbar"), Tahmid (Alhamdulillah), Tahlil (La ilaha ill-
Allah) and Tasbih (Subhan Allah) during the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, and to say it
loudly in the mosque, the home, the street and every place where it is permitted to
remember Allah and mention His name out loud, as an act of worship and as a
proclamation of the greatness of Allah, may He be exalted. Men should recite these
phrases out loud, and women should recite them quietly.

 One of the best deeds that one can do during these ten days is to perform „Umrah and
Hajj to the Sacred House of Allah. The one whom Allah helps to go on Hajj to His House
and to perform all the rituals properly is included in the words of the Prophet ‫" ﷺ‬An
accepted Hajj brings no less a reward than Paradise.”

 Doing more good deeds in general, because good deeds are beloved by Allah and will bring
a great reward from Him. Whoever is not able to go to Hajj should occupy himself at
this blessed time by worshipping Allah, praying (salah), reading Quran, remembering
Allah, making supplication (du‟a), giving charity, honouring his parents, upholding the
ties of kinship, enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil, and other good deeds
and acts of worship.
Lesson 13

Lesson 13 Notes
The Virtuous 10 Days of Dhul-Hijjah

Types of „Ibaadah in the First Ten Days of Dhul-Hijjah:

 One of the good deeds that will bring a person closer to Allah during these ten days is
offering a sacrifice, by choosing a high-quality animal and fattening it, and spending

money for the sake of Allah.

 The Sunnah indicates that the one who wants to offer a sacrifice must stop cutting his
hair and nails and removing anything from his skin, from the beginning of the ten days
until after he has offered his sacrifice, because the Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬said: “When you see the
new moon of Dhul-Hijjah, if any one of you wants to offer a sacrifice, then he should
stop cutting his hair and nails until he has offered his sacrifice.” According to another
report he said: "He should not remove (literally, touch) anything from his hair or skin."
(reported by Muslim with four isnads, 13/146)

 The wisdom behind this prohibition of the one who wants to offer a sacrifice from
cutting his hair etc., is so that he may resemble those in ihram in some aspects of the
rites performed, and so that he may draw closer to Allah by offering the sacrifice. So
he leaves his hair and nails alone until the time when he has offered his sacrifice, in the
hope that Allah will save him in his entirety from the Fire. And Allah knows best.

 If a person has cut his hair or nails during the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah because he
was not planning to offer a sacrifice, then he decides later, during the ten days, to
offer a sacrifice, then he must refrain from cutting his hair and nails from the moment
he makes this decision.

 Some women may delegate their brothers or sons to make the sacrifice on their behalf,
then cut their hair during these ten days. This is not correct, because the ruling applies
to the one who is offering the sacrifice, whether or not he (or she) delegates someone
else to carry out the actual deed. The prohibition does not apply to the person
delegated, only to the person who is making the sacrifice, as is indicated in the hadith.
The person who is sacrificing on behalf of someone else, for whatever reason, does not
have to adhere to this prohibition.

Lesson 14 Notes
The Day of at-Tarwiyyah – Travelling to Mina

 The 8th day of Dhul-Hijjah is known as the Day of at-Tarwiyyah, and it is the first
day of Hajj. It is called „Tarwiyyah‟ because it comes from the word „Miyaa‟ (plural of
water) because it is the day on which the water is collected and gathered to
accommodate the pilgrims.

 It is recommended for the pilgrims to travel on this day, in the morning, to Mina
before the sun reaches its height (midday).

 When they reach Mina, the pilgrims pray Dhuhr, „Asr, Maghrib and „Isha – the prayers
of four rak‟ah are to be shortened. They will stay overnight in Mina and perform the
Fajr prayer before travelling towards „Arafah after sunrise.

 It is recommended and from the Sunnah to perform the Takbir after each salah while
in Mina, raising one‟s voice while doing so (for the men only), while avoiding reciting in
unison.

Lesson 15 Notes
Standing on the Day of „Arafah

 The 9th day of Dhul-Hijjah is known as the Day of „Arafah. After the sun rises the
pilgrims set out from Mina to „Arafah. It is Sunnah to stop at Namirah until noon, if
possible and to listen to the khutbah if the Imam gives one.

 Then the pilgrims pray Dhuhr and „Asr shortened and combined at the time of Dhuhr,
with one adhan and two iqaamahs.

 After the prayer, the pilgrims stand at „Arafah, and all of „Arafah is a place of
standing, except for the valley of „Uranah. It is mustahhab to face the Qiblah and
Jabal ur-Rahman (the Mount of Mercy), but facing the Qiblah takes precedence if one
is unable to face Jabal ur-Rahman.

 The meaning of standing on „Arafah is standing with the intention of standing, whether
one stands, or sits or rides and one must do that at the time of standing which is
from noon on the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah until the dawn of the 10th. If the pilgrim
catches only a moment within this time, it is considered that he has achieved standing
at „Arafah because, according to the consensus of the scholars, standing at „Arafah is a
pillar of Hajj, and if one misses it, he should change his intention from Hajj to „Umrah.

 The pilgrims should strive to remember Allah, calling on Him and begging from Him for
forgiveness and every type of good, It is Sunnah to repeat: “None has the right to be
worshipped but Allah, alone with no partner. To Him belongs the Dominion and all
praise, and He has power over all things.”

 When the sun sets on the day of „Arafah, the pilgrims should move to Muzdalifah
(where they will pray Maghrib, three rak‟ah and „Ishaa, shortened and combined with
Maghrib, with one adhan and two iqaamahs).

Lesson 16 Notes
From „Arafah to Muzdalifah then Return to Mina

 When the sun sets on the day of „Arafah, the pilgrims should move to Muzdalifah
where they will pray Maghrib, three rak‟ah and „Ishaa, shortened and combined with
Maghrib, with one adhan and two iqaamahs.

 They should travel calmly and at a moderate pace as this is something the Prophet ‫ﷺ‬
did and encouraged. Then when they reach the valley of Muhassir, they should speed
up. It is not permissible to leave before sunset.

 Some pilgrims go to gather pebbles (ready to stone the Jamaraat) as soon as they
arrive, but there is no basis for this. The Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬did not order that pebbles be
picked up for him until he had left al-Mash‟ar al-Haram (the place of resting in
Muzdalifah) on his way back to Mina.

 One should pray Maghrib as soon as he arrives in Muzdalifah, even before he unloads his
luggage.

 It is Sunnah to stay overnight and sleep in Muzdalifah, to wake there and pray Fajr at
its beginning time and then leave to travel back to Mina before the sun rises. The
weaker pilgrims are permitted to leave earlier on in the night, when the moon has set
if there is a need for that.

 On the way to Mina, the pilgrims should collect pebbles to stone the Jamaraat. They
should not collect anything other than pebbles and they should be no bigger than beans
and slightly larger than chickpeas as narrated by Ibn „Abbas:

“In the morning of the day of al-„Aqabah, Allah‟s Messenger ‫ ﷺ‬said to me: „Pick up
pebbles for me.‟ I picked up seven pebbles for him as large as beans. He then started
shaking them while saying: „You should throw pebbles as large as these ones.‟ Then he
said: „O people! Beware of going to extremes in the religion; those before you were
ruined because of going to extremes in the religion.‟”

Lesson 17 Notes
The Day of Sacrifice

 The 10th day of Dhul-Hijjah is known as the Day of al-„Aqabah or the Day of An-Nahr
(Sacrifice). It is the best of days before Allah. It is called the Day of Sacrifice because
it is the day on which the pilgrims sacrifice a sacrificial animal as part of their Hajj
rituals. This act of worship commemorates the Story of Prophet Ibrahim when Allah
commanded him in a dream to sacrifice his son, Isma‟eel ‫علٍ ها السيم‬

 Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said in Zad al-Ma‟ad (1/54):
“The best of days before Allah is the Day of Sacrifice, which is the greatest day of
Hajj as it says in Sunan Abi Dawud (1765), where it is narrated that the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The greatest of days before Allah is
the Day of Sacrifice.” (Classed as sahih by al-Albani in Sahih Abi Dawud)

 When the pilgrims reach Mina they should stone Jamrat al-„Aqabah, which is the last
one that is closest to Makkah, throwing seven pebbles one after another, each of which
should be approximately the size of a bean, saying “Allahu akbar” with each throw.

 The Sunnah when stoning Jamrat al-„Aqabah is to face the Jamarah with Makkah to
one's left and Mina to one‟s right.

 When they have finished this stoning, they should slaughter their sacrificial animal,
then shave his head or cut his hair if he is male and women should cut the length of a
fingertip from their hair.

 The one who cannot afford a sacrificial animal must fast 3 days during Hajj and
7 days when they return home to their family. This is based on the statement
of Allah in Surah al-Baqarah 2:196: “... but if he cannot afford it, he should
observe fast three days during the Hajj and seven days after his return (to his
home), making ten days in all ...” and the scholars say it is permissible to fast
the days separate from one another, so long as ten days are fasted in total.
And the three days can be joined to the seven days when the pilgrim returns
home if it is too difficult for them to fast during the Hajj – And Allah is Most
Kind to His Believing Slaves.

The Story of the Sacrifice – Tafseer of Surah as-Saffaat

102. And, when he (his son) was old enough to walk with him, he said: "O my son!
I have seen in a dream that I am slaughtering you (offering you in sacrifice to Allah).
So look what you think!" He said: “O my father! Do that which you are commanded.
Insha' Allah (if Allah wills), you shall find me of As-Sabirun (the patient).”

103. Then, when they had both submitted themselves (to the Will of Allah),
and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (or on the side of his forehead for
slaughtering);

104. We called out to him: "O Abraham!

105. You have fulfilled the dream!" Verily thus do We reward the Muhsinun (good-doers).

106. Verily, that indeed was a manifest trial.

107. And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice (i.e. ‫ ك ش‬- a ram);

108. And We left for him (a goodly remembrance) among the later generations.

109. “Salam (peace) be upon Ibrahim (Abraham)!”

Lesson 19 Notes
Offering the Hadee – the Sacrificial Animal

 The Obligation of offering a Hadee (sacrificial animal) is for those performing Hajj
Tamattu‟ or Qiran. The one performing Hajj al-Ifrad may offer a voluntary sacrifice
(udhiya)

 The Hadee is an animal from the An‟aam (cattle) – camels, cows, sheep, goats - which
the pilgrim offers as an act of worship to draw closer to Allah. The one performing
Tamattu‟ or Qiran who is not a resident of Makkah is obliged to offer a Hadee.

 The best sacrificial animal to offer is a camel, then a cow, then a sheep. It is better if
a camel or a cow is offered by an individual, as it will be seen as a sign of one‟s
generosity and will be more beneficial to the poor who will receive more meat. On the
other hand, the best animal to offer is the fattest, then the most expensive, as Allah
says: “... And whoever honours the symbols (the rites) of Allah, indeed it is from the
piety of the hearts.” (Surah al-Hajj 22:32)

 An animal cannot be sacrificed until it has reached the prescribed age: 6 months for a
sheep, 5 years for a camel, 2 years for a cow and 1 year for a goat.

 A ewe (female sheep) is good enough to be offered as a Hadee on behalf of one man,
and as udhiya (a voluntary sacrifice) on behalf of one man and his household. A camel
or a cow is sufficient as a Hadee or udhiya on behalf of seven people based on the
hadith of Allah‟s Messenger ‫ ﷺ‬narrated by Jabir: “Allah‟s Messenger ‫ ﷺ‬commanded us
to become seven partners (in the sacrifice) of a camel or a cow.” [Muslim 3173] *Note
– It is better for a man to slaughter a single ewe than to share in the slaughtering of
a camel or a cow.

 It is a condition that a sacrificial animal must be free from all physical defects. It is
not sufficient to offer a skinny or sick animal. Likewise, it must not be one-eyed or
blind, and it must not be lame, infected with madness, toothless, or very old with dry
udders, since Allah‟s Messenger ‫ ﷺ‬said: “Four are impermissible to offer for sacrifice: a
one=eyed animal which has obviously lost the sight in its eye, a sick animal which is
obviously sick, a lame animal which obviously limps and an animal with a broken leg and
no marrow.” [Abu Dawud 2802, At-Tirmidhi 1501, An-Nisa‟i 4381, Ibn Majah 3144]
Lesson 19

Lesson 19 Notes
Offering the Hadee – the Sacrificial Animal

 The best time to offer a sacrificial animal is during the period from the after the Eid-
ul-Adha prayer until the last of the Days of Tashriq.

 If one is sacrificing a camel, he should stand it to face the Qiblah, then he should
stand on the left of it, beneath its neck and chest to slaughter it. He should recite:
“In the Name of Allah, Allah is the Greatest. O Allah, this is from You and for You. O
Allah, accept it from me as You accepted it from Your Close Friend, Ibrahim.”

 As for cows and sheep, then they should be laid down on their left side whilst facing
the Qiblah. There is no harm in the pilgrim paying someone to slaughter and butcher
the animal on his behalf. But it not permissible to pay the butcher with meat from
the sacrifice.

 It is preferable for one to eat from their sacrificial animal and its meat is divided as
follows: one third for its owner, one third to be given as gifts and one third to be
given as charity as Allah, the Exalted, mentions: “… So eat of them and feed the
miserable and poor.” [see Surah al-Hajj 22:28 and its related tafseer]

 But for the pilgrim who is offering a sacrifice as means of expiation for a fault in his
Hajj, he must not eat anything from his sacrifice at all.

 As for one who cannot afford a Hadee, he is required to fast 3 days during Hajj and 7
days when he returns home to his family. He is given a concession to combine the 3
days with the 7 days when he returns home if fasting during the Hajj is too difficult
for him. [Refer to Surah al-Baqarah 2:196]

Lesson 20 Notes
Exiting from the State of Ihram

 After stoning Jamarat al-„Aqabah, it is preferable for the pilgrim who is performing
Hajj al-Tamattu‟ or al-Qiran to slaughter the obligatory sacrificial animal. The pilgrim
should distribute its meat among the poor, keeping a share for himself to eat from.

 Afterwards, the pilgrim must shave his head or cut his hair short (all over), although
shaving is better since Allah mentioned this first in the ayah in Surah al-Fath 48:27
“… with your heads shaved and (hair) shortened …”

 Ibn „Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: “The Messenger of Allah ‫ ﷺ‬got
his head shaved during the Farewell Hajj.” [al-Bukhari 4410, Muslim 3138]

 The Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬called upon Allah three times to be merciful to those who have their
head shaved, and called upon Him only once to be merciful to those who shortened
their hair by cutting it. [al-Bukhari 1727, Muslim 3132]

 As for the female pilgrims, they only need to shorten their hair by the length of a
finger tip.

 It is also an act of the Sunnah for the pilgrim to clip his fingernails, trim his
moustache and shave or remove his pubic hair and underarm hair.

 After this everything becomes permissible for him, such as wearing sewn clothes and
perfume, except for intercourse with his wife.

 After this, the pilgrim must perform the Tawaaf al-Ifadah (followed by Sa‟ee if he is
performing Hajj al-Tamattu‟, or if he did not perform it after Tawaaf al-Qudoom as
part of his Qiran or Ifrad).

 Upon completing Tawaaf (and Sa‟ee), the pilgrim has exited fully from Ihram and
everything becomes lawful for him. It is Mustahhab for him to drink his fill of Zam-
Zam and to make du‟a for whatever benefits him.

Lesson 21 Notes
Stoning the Jamarat – The Days of Tashreeq

 After doing Tawaaf al-Ifadah and Sa‟ee – for those who have to do Sa‟ee – the
pilgrims go back to Mina and stay there for three days and nights. They stone the
three Jamarat on each day after the sun has reached its zenith and they end stoning
at sunset.

 It is Mustahhab to follow the proper sequence for stoning, beginning with the first
Jamrah, which is next to Masjid al-Khaif, then stoning the second Jamrah, then the
third. Stoning on the first two days of the days of Tashreeq is compulsory, as is
staying overnight in Mina. After stoning the Jamarat on the first two days, whoever
wants to hasten and leave Mina can do so before sunset, but whoever stays for a third
night, then this is preferable and more rewarded.

Conditions for Stoning the Jamarat:

 There must be seven pebbles for each Jamrah.

 Each stone must be thrown individually, seven thrown at each Jamrah. It is not
acceptable to throw two stones together at the same time, for example, as this
would count as one throw.

 The stones must be thrown by one‟s own hand if he is able to do that. It is

allowed to appoint someone to throw on another‟s behalf if they are unable to
throw for themselves, as long as that appointed person is also performing Hajj.

 It is only permissible to throw pebbles; nothing else is allowed to be thrown, such

as shoes, mud, or anything else.

 The pilgrim must aim at the Jamrah. If he aims at something else but hits the
Jamrah this is not accepted.

 He should make sure that the stone has fallen into the target area, even if he did
not hit the pillar of the Jamrah itself.

 He must stone the Jamarat in order, starting with the smallest, then the middle
one, then al-„Aqabah – the largest one.

Lesson 22 Notes
Stoning the Shaytan – the Origin of Ramee

 In Surah as-Saffaat 37:103, Allah, the Exalted says: ‫ٍي‬ َ ‫لِ ْل‬
ِ ‫ج ِب‬ ‫َف َل َّها َ ْا َل َها َوتَلَّ ُه‬
“Then, when they had both submitted themselves (to the Will of Allah), and he had
laid him prostrate on his forehead (or on the side of his forehead for slaughtering).”

'Abdullaah Ibn 'Abbaas (radhi‟Allahu anhu) narrates that the Messenger of Allah ‫ﷺ‬
said: "When the rituals were enjoined upon Ibrahim, the Shaytan appeared to him at
the Mas`a and raced with him, but Ibrahim got there first.

Then, Jibreel took Ibrahim to the Jamratul 'Aqabah, then Shaytan appeared before
him so he pelted him with seven stones and he disappeared into the ground.

Then he came to the Jamratul Wustaa and the Shaytan appeared before him so he
pelted him with seven stones and he disappeared into the ground.

Then he came to the Jamratul Quswaa and the Shaytan appeared before him, so he
pelted him with seven stones and he disappeared into the ground.

Then he laid him (Isma‟eel) prostrate on his face. Isma‟eel was wearing a white shirt,
and he said, “O my father, I do not have any garment in which I can be shrouded
apart from this; take it off me so that you can shroud me in it.” So he started to
take it off, then he was called from behind:

“O Ibrahim! You have fulfilled the dream!” Ibrahim turned, and saw a fine, horned,
white ram.'' It was reported that Ibn `Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "A
ram which had grazed in Paradise for forty years.''

Lesson 23 Notes
The Farewell Tawaaf – Tawaaf al-Wada‟

 When a pilgrim is prepared to return to his home country or elsewhere after completing
the rites of Hajj and he is prepared ready to travel, just before he departs from
Makkah he must make the Farewell Tawaaf – Tawaaf al-Wada‟.

 The obligation to perform the Farewell Tawaaf is taken from the statement of Allah‟s
Messenger ‫ ﷺ‬when he said:‫البٍت‬ ‫ال ًَ رف حذ ح ى َكوى آخر ع ذ‬
“No one of you should depart until the last thing he has done is to circumambulate the
House.” (Imam Ahmad 1936, Muslim 3206)

 The menstruating women is excused from making the Farewell Tawaaf and this based on
the statement of Ibn „Abbas when he narrated:
‫ ال ٌه خفف عي الحائط‬،‫ُور الًاس ى َكوى آخر ع ذان البٍت‬
“The people were commanded that the last thing they do should do is to
circumambulate the House, but an exception was made for menstruating women.”
(al-Bukhari 1755, Muslim 3207)

 As for the one who is doing „Umrah, he does not have to do the Farewell Tawaaf, but
it is Sunnah for him to circumambulate the Ka‟bah when he wants to leave, because
there is no evidence that it is obligatory, and because the Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬did not do the
Farewell Tawaaf when he left Makkah after doing the fulfilled „Umrah („umrat al-qada‟)
as far as we know from his Sunnah.

Lesson 24

Lesson 24 Notes
Visiting the City of the Prophet - Madinah & the Prophet‟s
Masjid

 Travelling to al-Madinah is not part of the rituals of Hajj as some people believe. There
for if one performs Hajj without visiting al-Madinah then his Hajj is correct. Some
people base their view of making it from the rituals of Hajj based on a fabricated
hadith: “Whoever does Hajj and doesn‟t visit me, then it is as if he has abandoned me.”
[Sunnan Darqutnee 2/278, Bayhaqi in Shu‟bah al-Emaan 3854 classified it as fabricated
and rejected by Ibn Taymiyyah in Majmoo‟ al-Fataawa 27/25-28]

 However, it is Mustahhab to visit al-Madinah with the intention of visiting the

Prophet‟s Masjid since it is narrated:

‫الَّ َن‬
َ ‫َّللا َع َل ٍْ ِه َو‬
َُّ ‫ول َص َّلى‬ِ ‫ج ِذ ال َّر ُا‬ َ ‫ج ِذ ا ْل‬
ِ ‫ح َرامِ َو َو ْس‬ َ ‫ال ِ َّال ِ َلى ثَ َيثَ ِة َو‬
ِ ‫سا ِج َذ ا ْل َه ْس‬ ُ ‫ح‬ َ ‫َال ُت‬
َ ‫ل ُّذ ال ِّلر‬
‫اْل َ ْ َ ى‬ْ ‫ج ِذ‬ ِ ‫َو َو ْس‬

“Do not undertake a religious journey but to three masaajid: the Masjid al-Haram in
Makkah, the Masjid of the Messenger of Allah, and the Furthest Mosque (al-Aqsa) in
Jerusalem.” (al-Bukhari 1189, Muslim 1397)

 There is no specific evidence to highlight any particular virtue about visiting the grave of
the Prophet, however, in general, it is recommended (for men) to visit the graves in
order to be reminded of his destination and the life to come.

 When visiting the grave of the Prophet, there are greetings that are to be given only
to him such as: “Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah.” The greetings will reach
him via an angel and Allah will return the Prophet‟s soul to him so that he can return
the greeting.

 According to the Malikees, Shafi‟ees and Hanbalees, one should face the grave with his
back to the Qiblah, whereas the Hanafees state that one must keep his back to the
grave or on his left side.

 All of them forbid touching, wiping, kissing and the like, or making du‟a at the
Prophet‟s grave since this may cause one to fall into innovation and shirk – And we seek
refuge in Allah from misguidance.
