Rites of Hajj: A brief summary

Intention (Niyyah and Ihram)

Entering into a state of Ihram from Meeqat and wear unsewn clothes

Tawaf Al-Qudum (Arrival)

Rites of HajjWhen the pilgrim arrives in Mecca he/she proceeds to perform Tawaf (7 rounds) starting from the Black stone and leaving the Qaa’bah on his left. Kissing the black stone is a sunnah if one cannot kiss it; touching it will be enough. The pilgrim could say any supplication during Tawaf. After completing Tawaf, he/she performs two Rak’ah behind the station of Abraham or elsewhere.

Saa’ye between Al-Safa and Al-Marwa

After Tawaf Al-Qudum, the pilgrim proceeds to Al-Safa and Al-Marwa hills where he/she will run the distance between it seven times.

Proceed to Mina

By the 8th day of Dhl-Hijja ( the day of talbiyah), pilgrims proceed to spend the night in Mina. They pray Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha and Fajr prayers.

Wuquf in Arafat

Pilgrims have to proceed to Arafat after the sun-rising of the 9th day of Dhul-Hijja. It is Mustahabb ( preferable) to reach Arafat before the afternoon to communally perform the prayers of Dhuhr and Asr. It is equally Mustahabb to ask Allah and supplicate him, to pray on his messenger ( peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Wuquf in Arafat does not mean that sitting is prohibited.

Proceed to spend the night in Muzdalifah

After the sunset in Dhl-Hajj 9, pilgrims proceed to Muzdalifah and pray the prayer of Maghrib and Isha. They spend the night there.

Stoning of the devil

After the prayer in Dhul-Hijja 10, it is Mustahab (preferable) to walk toward Mina. When pilgrims reach Jamarah of Aqaba, they throw it by seven stones.

Shaving

After stoning, pilgrims cut or shorten their hair. Concerning women, they have to cut a small part of their hair.

Tawaf Al-Ifadha

Pilgrims return to Mecca to perform Tawaf Al-Ifadha redoing what they have already done in the first. Thus, what has been prohibited is allowed after this Tawaf.

  Return to Mina

Mina: By the 11.12.13 Dhul-Hijja, Pilgrims return to Mina where they reside and each day throws stones at the devil. It is permissible for those who cannot throw stones to ask someone else to do so in their places.

Farewell  Tawaf of the  

When the pilgrim accomplishes all the rites and he/she wants to leave Mecca, he/she should perform tawaf of the farewell ( 7rounds around the Kaaba ) and then perform two Rak’ahs and drink from the Zamzam well asking Allah for acceptance and forgiveness. Thus all the rites of Hajj come to an end.

Dua’s Supplications during Umrah

In the saheeh Sunnah are narrated du’aa’s and adhkaar which you can recite during the rituals of Umrah, and from which the Muslim can benefit by memorizing them, understanding them and acting upon them. These include the following :

A – At the Meeqaat when entering into a state of Ihram: 

It is Sunnah for the Muslim to recite tasbeeh (saying “Subhaan-Allaah (glory be to Allah)”), tahleel ( saying “Laa ilaaha ill-Allah (there is no god but Allah)” ) and takbeer ( saying “Allahu akbar (Allah is Most Great)” ) before entering ihram for Umrah.

It was narrated that Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) prayed Zuhr with four rak’ahs when we were with him in Medina, and he prayed ‘Asr in Dhu’l-Hulayfah with two rak’ahs, then he stayed there overnight. When morning came he rode until he reached al-Bayda’, then he praised, glorified and magnified Allah. Then he recited Talbiyah with the intention of performing Hajj and ‘Umrah and the people did likewise. (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1476.)

Al-Haafiz ibn Hajar said: 

This ruling – that it is (preferable) mustahabb to recite tasbeeh and the other (adhkaars) mentioned before ihram – is something that not many people do even though it is proven in the Sunnah. 

Fath al-Baari, 3/412 .

B – On the way to Mecca, between the Meeqaat and arrival in Mecca: 

It is Sunnah to recite the Talbiyah a great deal and to raise one’s voice – for men; women should recite in a low voice so that no non-mahram men will hear them. 

It was narrated from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) set out riding from the mosque of Dhu’l-Hulayfah, he recited the Talbiyah and said: “ Labbayk Allaahumma labbayk, labbayka laa shareeka laka labbayk, inna al-hamda wa’l-ni’matah laka wa’l-mulk, laa shareeka lak (Here I am, O Allaah, here I am. Here I am, You have no partner, here I am. Verily all praise and grace and dominion are Yours, You have no partner).” 

Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5571; Muslim, 1184.

C – During Tawaf 

Every time you come in line with the Black Stone in each circuit, say, “Allaahu Akbar.” Al-Bukhari (1613) narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas ( may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet ( peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) circumambulated the House, and every time he came to the corner ( i.e., the Black Stone), he pointed to it with something he had in his hand and said takbeer. 

Between the Yemeni Corner and the Black Stone you should say the words that were narrated from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn al-Saa’ib, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah ( peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say between the two Corners: “ Rabbana aatina fi’l-dunya hasanah wa fi’l-aakhirah hasanah wa qina ‘adhaab al-naar ( Our Lord, give us that which is good in this world and that which is good in the Hereafter, and protect us from the torment of the Fire).” Narrated by Abu Dawood, 1892; classed as hasan by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood. 

 D- Before climbing up al-Safa and when atop it: 

It was narrated that Jaabir ibn ‘Abd-Allah said: … then he ( the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)) went out through the gate to al-Safa and when he drew near to al-Safa he recited: “ Verily, As-Safa and Al-Marwah (two mountains in Makkah) are of the Symbols of Allaah” [al-Baqarah 2:158 – interpretation of the meaning], (and he said:) “ I begin with that with which Allaah began.” He began with al-Safa and climbed it until he could see the House, then he turned to face the qiblah and proclaimed the Oneness of Allaah and magnified Him, and said: “ Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah wahdahu laa shareeka lah, lahu’l-mulk wa lahu’l-hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer; Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah wahdahu anjaza wa’dah wa nasara ‘abdah wa hazama al-ahzaaba wahdah (There is no god but Allaah alone, with no partner or associate, His is the dominion and to Him be praise, and He is able to do all things; there is no god but Allaah alone, He fulfilled His promises and granted victory to His slave and defeated the confederates alone).” Then he made du’aa’ between that and repeated this three times. 

Narrated by Muslim, 1218.

E – When climbing al-Marwah 

You should do the same as you did when climbing al-Safa, without reciting the verse before starting to climb. 

Jaabir ( may Allah be pleased with him) said:  Then he came down towards al-Marwah and when his feet reached the bottom of the valley he ran until the ground started to rise, then he walked until he came to al-Marwah, and he did at al-Marwah as he had done at al-Safa. Narrated by Muslim, 1218. 

When drinking Zamzam water, you may say du’aa’ asking for the best of this world and the Hereafter, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “ The water of Zamzam is for whatever it is drunk for.” Narrated by Ibn Maajah, 3062; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in 5502. 

Similarly it is prescribed to remember Allaah a great deal (dhikr), which includes du’aa’, during tawaaf and saa’i, so the Muslim should make du’aa’ as Allaah inspires him. There is nothing wrong with reciting Qur’aan during tawaaf and saa’i. What some people say, that there are special du’aa’s for each circuit of tawaaf and saa’i is something for which there is no basis in sharee’ah. 

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said: 

It is (preferable) mustahabb during tawaf to remember Allah and call upon Him in ways that are prescribed in sharee’ah. If one recites Qur’aan there is nothing wrong with that. There is no specific dhikr that has been narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), that he either enjoined, said or taught to others. Rather ( the pilgrim) may say any du’aa’ that is prescribed in sharee’ah. What many people say, that there is a specific du’aa’ to be recited beneath the downspout of the Ka’bah and so on has no basis. 

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to end his tawaf between the two Corners by saying,  “ Rabbana aatina fi’l-dunya hasanah wa fi’l-aakhirah hasanah wa qina ‘adhaab al-naar (Our Lord, give us that which is good in this world and that which is good in the Hereafter, and protect us from the torment of the Fire),” as he used to finish all his du’aa’s with these words, and there is no specific du’aa’ for that, according to scholarly consensus.

The Muslim Woman at Hajj

The Muslim Woman at Hajj

The rites of Hajj include many actions that commemorate women. For example, Sa‘y between As-Safa and Al-Marwah commemorates what our mother Haajar, may Allaah exalt her mention, did. Zamzam water gushed forth from the earth by the mercy of Allaah The Almighty in response to her supplications to Allaah The Almighty in order to quench her and her son’s thirst.
Dear sister,
O you who has left for the Sacred City to perform one of the pillars of Islam; as you were treading the earth of Makkah, did you not recall the bright image of that believing woman who was so confident and had perfect trust in her Lord? Ibraaheem (Abraham) may Allaah exalt his mention brought Haajar and her suckling son Ismaa‘eel (Ishmael), may Allaah exalt their mention, to the desert area at the Sacred House where there was neither water nor any people around. Ibraaheem may Allaah exalt his mention left them with nothing but a bag of dates and a water-skin and then he went away. Haajar followed him saying, “O Ibraaheem, where are you going? Are you leaving us in this valley which has no humans or anything?” She repeated her question many times, but he did not look back. She said, “O Ibraaheem, did Allaah order you to do so?” He said, “Yes.” Thereupon, she said her eternal illuminating words, “Then, He will never fail us.” Do you see the firmness of her faith, the power of her trust in Allaah, her reliance on Him and submission to Him?
O Muslim sister, did you not recall the bright image of Khadeejah, the Mother of the Believers may Allaah be pleased with her while she was anxiously following the course of the call to Islam and the fruits of the message?
Do you not see in your imagination a glimpse of Asmaa’ bint Abi Bakr may Allaah be pleased with her the young woman with the two girdles, who used to walk for long distances under the scorching heat of the sun carrying food from Makkah to the Cave of Thawr, the hideout of the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ), and her father Abu Bakr may Allaah be pleased with him? When she did not find anything to wrap the food in, she tore her sash into two halves to put one of them around her waist and carry the food in the other. Therefore, she was nicknamed “the lady with the two girdles”. She played an important role in supporting the truth and the success of the plan of Hijrah may Allaah be pleased with her.
Dear sister, while you were staying in the tent during Hajj, did you not remember your Mother ‘Aa’ishah may Allaah be pleased with her when she was with the Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) in the Farewell Hajj? She narrated that she and her sisters among the Companions used to uncover their faces during Ihraam and used to cover their faces whenever non-Mahram men passed by them. Did you not remember this and follow her example? Sister, you do not want to come to Hajj seeking forgiveness only to become an aide to Satan in tempting the believers with your unveiled beauty. Let it not be the case that while people return with forgiven sins, you return with accumulated sins, Allaah forbid! You should be far above such faults as you are one of the modest, bashful and chaste women.
Dear sister, it is permissible to take your children with you in Hajj if there is need to do so. Ibn ‘Abbaas may Allaah be pleased with him narrated that a woman came to the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) raised a boy to him and asked him, “Can the Hajj of this young boy be accepted”?” The Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) said:“Yes, and you will be rewarded.”[Muslim]
Another narration reads that the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) was at Ar-Rawhaa’ and met a caravan and greeted them. He asked them:“Who are you?”They said, “We are Muslims. Who are you?” The people said, “This is the Messenger of Allaah sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ).” Consequently, a woman rushed to her Howdah and took the hand of her little boy and asked, “Can this young boy perform Hajj?” The Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ), said:“Yes, and you will be rewarded.” [Abu Daawood: Saheeh]

The Muslim youth at Hajj:

Many people postpone the obligation of Hajj until they become grey-haired. They view it improper to perform Hajj while they are young, if they consider performing Hajj in the first place. However, the youth among the righteous predecessors used to hasten to perform this ritual during their youth and strength.

Saalim may Allaah have mercy upon him narrated on the authority of his father that a boy came to the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) saying, “I want to go in this direction – meaning Hajj.” The Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) walked with him and said:“O boy, may Allaah provide you with piety, direct you to goodness and suffice your concerns!”When the boy returned and greeted the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ), raised his head and said:“O boy, your Hajj is accepted, your sins are forgiven and your expenditure is compensated.” [Ibn Khuzaymah and At-Tirmithi: Hasan Ghareeb]
Anas may Allaah be pleased with him narrated that a man came to the Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ), and said, “O Messenger of Allaah, I want to travel so provide for me.” The Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) said:“May Allaah provide you with piety, forgive your sins and facilitate goodness for you wherever you are.” [At-Tirmithi; Al-Albaani: Saheeh]
When the Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ), reached Madeenah during Hijrah, Muhammad ibn Anas Ath-Thafri may Allaah be pleased with him was two weeks old. The Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ), wiped his head. Later, when this child was ten years old, he joined the Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ), in the Farewell Hajj.
