 is only a requirement for those who are able to afford the trip
 and are physically strong enough to complete the pilgrimage
 The rites of Hajj are performed from the 8th to the 12th of Dhu al Hijjah.
KINDS OF HAJJ
 There are three ways of performing the Hajj:
 Hajj al-Tamatt'u (Interrupted)
 People who come to Saudi Arabia from other countries usually perform Hajj al-
Tamatt'u. The Ihram they wear on or before Miqat is for Umrah only and perform
Umrah first, then they slip into their ordinary clothes and on 8 Zil Hijjah they put on
Ihram for Hajj at their residence in Makkah and perform the rites of Hajj. It is taken off
on the day of sacrifice.
 Hajj al-Qiran (Combined)
 This denotes entering into ihram for both Umrah and Hajj at the same time, not taking
it off until the day of sacrifice at Mina. In Qiran one has to stick to the long-lasting
restrictions of Ihram.
 Hajj al-Ifrad (Single)
 This means entering into ihram only for the Hajj and taking it off only on the day of
sacrifice.

 Umrah is an Arabic word. The direct translation is "to visit a populated place"
 Hajj is a mandatory act for Muslim who can afford it, Umrah is not a farz
 Umrah is a Sunnah and farz means compulsory, and Sunnah means an act of
worship performed by the Prophet (‫)ﷺ‬
 The difference between Umrah and hajj is that Hajj is performed only in a
specific month in the Islamic calendar. It is the month of Dhu al Hijja
 Umrah can be performed throughout the year
Steps for 'Umrah:

approximate height of Hajr ul Aswad. Recite Bismillahi wa Allahu Akbar and kiss your hands

overcrowding, do not push to pray there but pray elsewhere in Haram)

‫شفَا ًء ِم ْن ُك ِ ّل دَاء‬ ِ ‫سأَلُكَ ِع ْل َما ً نَافِعَا ً ًَ َو ِر ْزقَا ً َوا‬

 Hajj hearkens back to the time of Prophet Abraham

 Muslims believe that Ibrahim (alaihis salaam) was ordered by Allah to
leave his wife Hajra and his son Ismail alone in the desert of ancient
Mecca. In search of water, Hajra desperately ran seven times between
the two hills of Safa and Marwah but found none. Returning in despair
to Ismail, she saw the baby scratching the ground with his leg and a
water fountain sprang forth at the site.
 This is the Well of Zamzam in the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca
 Pilgrims visit the well while performing Hajj or the Umrah pilgrimage to
drink its water
Sa’yee, Halaq/Qasr
 Proceed to Safa to begin sa’y. Stand on the crop of the mount from
where Ka’bah is visible, make dua

 Safa to Marwah is one round and back to Marwah from Safa is two
rounds. Continue seven rounds in this manner
 Mustahab: Males should lightly jog between the green lights and not
the women

Haram (fardh). If cutting (Qasr), at least one inch of all the hair must

Essence

 Hajj is such a prayer as contains the essence of all other prayers

 From the point of departure for Hajj till his return a Muslim offers his
Namaz regularly and gets closer to Allah almighty
 When he spends money for Hajj it is similar to payment of Zakat
 When he controls his sensual desires and avoid moral evils he
undergoes a state of fasting
 Leaving his home enduring the hardships of travel and similar to the
efforts of Jehad
 A significant aspect of Hajj is that it removes all markers of class,
wealth and greed, which is why the pilgrims dress in simple cloth for
the duration of the pilgrimage
