How to make Hajj -Part1
IslamOnline.net Shari`ah EditorDec. 14, 2006 The first steps in Hajj are to put on the clothing of ihram and then to make the intention of ihram at the miqat. The intention of ihram varies according to the mode of Hajj you choose. For detailed information on ihram, its etiquettes, its exact ********, time limits, and its restrictions, refer to the article "All About Ihram." What to do after that depends too on the mode of Hajj as follows: Tamattu`
Ifrad
Qiran
Rituals of Dhul-Hijjah 8 If you are performing tamattu` Hajj, put on your ihram clothing again and make the intention of Hajj saying "Labbayka Allahuma Hajjan" (O Allah, I answer Your call by performing Hajj.) Now you are ready to undertake the rituals of Hajj. Pilgrims who perform ifrad or qiran Hajj are already in the state of ihram so they skip this step. On the morning of Dhul-Hijjah 8, it is recommended for all pilgrims to go to Mina where they spend the rest of the day and the night, performing five prayers there, namely Zhuhr, `Asr, Maghrib, `Isha' and the Fajr of Dhul-Hijjah 9, shortening the prayers of Zhuhr,`Asr, and`Isha' to two rak`ahs. Rituals of Dhul-hijjah 9 After the sun rises on Dhul-Hijjah 9, pilgrims leave Mina to `Arafah. Staying in `Arafah is a major pillar of Hajj. The Prophet said, "Hajj is (staying in) `Arafah." The time for staying in `Arafah starts from the Zhuhr Prayer of Dhul-Hijjah 9 and ends at the Fajr Prayer on Dhul-Hijjah 10. Staying for any portion of time within this range is acceptable. The Prophet stayed in `Arafah until the sun set, and therefore some scholars hold that pilgrims should not leave `Arafah before sunset. The preponderant opinion, however, is that this is not necessary, especially if there is a need for leaving `Arafah earlier. In `Arafah you pray Zhuhr and `Asr, joining them at the time of Zhuhr if possible, and shortening each of them to two rak`ahs. While being in `Arafah, you should busy yourself with dhikr, du`aa', and asking for Allah's forgiveness. The Day of `Arafah is a very blessed day. `A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also said,
<B>Mistakes to Be Avoided at `Arafah
The Night of Dhul-Hijjah 9 After spending some time in `Arafah, preferably from Zhuhr till Maghrib Prayers, you leave to Muzdalifah. On your way from `Arafah, keep remembering Allah and seeking His forgiveness. On reaching Muzdalifah, join Maghrib and `Isha' Prayers at the time of the latter; three rak`ahs for Maghrib and two for `Isha'. If you fear that you may miss these prayers due to the throng of people at Muzdalifah, then you may perform prayers on your way to it. Then when you reach Muzdalifah, you can sleep till dawn. This is the Sunnah of the Prophet. However, according to some scholars you can leave after midnight. The Maliki school even holds that it is adequate to pray Maghrib and `Isha' in Muzdalifah, have a meal, and then leave for Mina. This opinion is preferred by the prominent scholar Dr. Yusuf Al-Qaradawi because of the huge number of pilgrims these years. Take note of this: Muzdalifah is an open area; you will find no tents there. So remember to ask your journey's organizers if they will provide you with blankets or sleeping bags; these will prove very useful, especially if it is cold that night. Read Also:
