Abstract: ... s then prevented or becomes ill - then he may leave iHraam of the Hajj or `Umrah - and there is no recompensatory sacrifice due upon him and he does not have to do the Hajj again, except and unless it was his first Hajj - then he has to repeat it. 11. There is no special prayer for iHraam, however if it is time for prayer before iHraam, then he should pray and then put on iHraam following the example of the Rasoolullah who put on iHraam after prying zuhr. Prayer in waadee ul'aqeeq 12. However he whose meeqaat is Dhul Hulaifah - then it is mustahabb for him to pray there, not for iHraam, but because of the place and its being blessed. As al-Bukhaari has narrated from Umar - may Allah be pleased with him - who said : "I heard the Rasoolullah say in waadi ul 'Aqeeq:" "Someone came to me this night from my Lord and said: Pray in this blessed valley, and say `Umrah with Hajj(14)" And Ibn 'Umar narrates from the Prophet: "...that he saw, when alighting for sleep at the end of the night in Dhul Hulaifah in the center of the valley, one saying to him: you are in the blessed stony ground."(15) Talbiyyah and raising the voice 13. then he said he should stand(16) facing the Qiblah, and say talbiyyah for `Umrah or Hajj as has preceded, and say: allaahumma haadhihi hajjah, laariyaa'a feehaa wa laa sum'ah (O Allah this is a Hajj, there being no ostentation in it or hypocrisy).(17) 14. And he should say the talbiyyah of the Prophet: (i) labbaikallaahumma labbaika labbaika laa shareeka laka labbaika-innal hamda wan na'mata laka wal mulka-la shareeka laka (Here I am O Allah, here I am, there is no partner for You, here I am, Verily all praise for You, and every bounty is from You, and all dominion is Yours - You have no partner.) (ii) And he also said: labbaika ilaahal haqq (Here I am O God of Truth.) 15. And it is better to stick to the talbiyyah of the Prophet, even though it is permissible to increase upon it - as the Prophet approved of those who did so, saying: "labbaika dhal ma'aarij, labbaika dhal fawaadil". (of the Ways of Ascent, Here I am Owner of Excellence.) And Ibn `Umar used to also say: "labbaika wa sa'daika wal khairu biyadaika war-raghabaa'u ilaika wal `amalu" (Here I am and blessed by You, and all good is in Your Hands, and desire and action are directed towards You.)(18) 16. And the one saying the talbiyyah is ORDERED to raise his voice with it, as the Prophet said: "Jibreel came to me and ordered me to ordered my companions and those with me to raise their voices with talbiyyah."(19) and he said: "the best Hajj is shouting out and spilling blood.(20) Therefore the companions of the Prophet when they entered into iHraam, by the time they reached `arRauhaa' their voices had tired out.(21) And the Prophet said: "It is as if I am looking at Musa, upon whom be peace, descending from the mountain pass raising his voice with talbiyyah..."(22) 17. And women, as regards the talbiyyah, are like men - as the two preceding hadith are general - so they should raise their voices as long as their is no fear of fitnah. And `Aa'ishah used to raise her voice until the men could hear her. Abu `Atiyyah said: "I heard `Aa'ishah saying: Verily I know how was the talbiyyah of Rasoolullah, then I heard her after that saying: Labbaikallaahumma labbaika..."(23) And Qaasim ibn Muhammad said: Mu'aawiyyah went out at night and heard the voice of someone making talbiyyah, so he said: `Who is that?" It was said: "`Aa'ishah, Mother of the Believers, making `Umrah from at-Tan'eem." So that was mentioned to `Aa'ishah so she said: "If he had asked me I would have told him."(24) 18. And he continually repeats the talbiyyah as it is "from the signs of Hajj"(25) and because of the Prophet's saying: There is no one who makes talbiyyah except that whatever is on his right and left - trees and stones also make talbiyyah until the earth resounds from here and here - meaning - on his right and left."(26) Especially whenever he ascends a high place or descends a valley - according to the hadith which has preceded: "It is as if I am looking at Musa - upon whom be peace - coming down from the mountain pass....loudly reciting talbiyyah" and in the other hadith: "It is if I am looking towards him when he descends in the valley reciting talbiyyah".(27) 19. And he may also recite along with it "La ilaaha illallaah" and talbiyyah according to the saying of Ibn Mas'ood may Allaah be pleased with him - "I went out Rasoolullah and he did not leave off the talbiyyah until he stoned Jamrat-ul' Aqabah - except when he mixed it with reciting talbiyyah? or "La ilaaha illallaah".(28) 20. So when he reaches the haram of Makkah and sees the houses of Makkah he leaves off the talbiyyah to concentrate on the following actions:(29) Taking Ghusl for entring Makkah 21. And whoever can talk a ghusl (bath) before entering Makkah then he should do so. And he should enter Makkah in the day following the example of Rasoolullah.(30) 22. And he should enter from the upper part of Makkah which today has Bab ul Mi'laah as the Prophet entered from the upper pass (Kadaa')(31) above the graveyard, and he entered the masjid from Bab Bani Shaibah as that was the nearest way to the Black Stone (Al-Hajrul-Aswad). 23. And he is allowed to enter by any path as the Prophet said: All of the mountain passes of Makkah are a pathway and place for slaughter and in another hadith, All of Makkah is a pathway. He enters from here and leaves from here.(32) 24. So if you enter the masjid do not forget to enter by the right foot,(33) and say:(34) allallhumma salli `alaa muhammadin wa sallim - allaahumma aftah lee abwaaba rahmatika or a'oodhu billaahil `azeemi wa biwajhihil kareem wa sultaanihil qadeemi minash shaitaanir rajeem. 25. And when he sees the Ka'bah he raises his hands if he wants to - as it is established from Ibn `Abbaas.(935)) 26. And there is no du'aa established from the Prophet at this point. So he may make du'aa with Whatever he can if he wishes with the du'aa which is established from `Umar:(36) allaahumma anta salaamu wa minkas salaamu fahayyinaa rabbanaa bissalaam Tawaaf of Quadoom (arrival) 27. Then he should go straight to the Black Stone and facing it make takbeer. And he may say `Bismillah' before it - as it is authentically reported from Ibn `Umar, although not from the Prophet. 28. Then he touches the Black Stone with his hand and kisses it also, and makes sajda upon it also - as Rasoolullah did that, and `Umar, and Ibn `Abbaas.(37) 29. If he is not able to kiss it then he touches it with his hand then kisses his hand. 30. Then if he cannot touch it he should make a sign towards it with his hand. 31. And he does that in every circuit. 32. And he should not push and crowd to get to it according to the Prophet's saying: O`Umar, you are a strong man, so do not harm the weak, and when you wish to touch it, then when it become free then touch it, and if not then face it and say takbeer.(38) 33. And there is in touching the Black Stone a great excellence as the Prophet said: "Allaah will raise up the Stone on the Day of Judgement, and will have two eyes with which it will see, and a tongue which it talks with, and it will give witness in favor of everyone who touched it in truth."(39) And he said: "Touching the Black Stone and the Yemeni corner removes sins."(40) "The Black Stone is from Paradise, and it used to be whiter that snow, but the sins of the idolaters turned it black."(41) 34. Then he should begin making tawaaf around the Ka'bah - it being to his left - and he goes around past the Stone seven times - from the Stone to the Stone being one, wearing the iHraam under his right armpit and over the left (called al-idtibaa')(42) throughout the tawaaf. And walking quickly and with boldness (ramal - a strong walk in which the shoulders are thrust forwards) in the first three, from the Stone to the Stone - then he walks normally in the rest. 35. And he touches the Yemeni corner with his hand each time he passes and does not kiss it, and if he is not able to touch it then he should not make any sign towards it with his hand at all. 36. And he should say between the two corners: "O Allaah gives us good in this life, and good in the Hereafter and save us from the Punishment of the Fire."(43) Rabbanaa aatinaa fid-dunyaa hasanatan wa feel aakhirati hasanatan wa qinaa 'adhaaban naar [Soorat-ul-Baqarah ayah 201] (Our Lord! Give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and defend us from the torment of the Fire.) 37. And he does not touch the two shaami corners at all following the sunnah of the Prophet.(44) Iltizaam Between The Corner And The Door 38. And he may cling to the place between the corner and the Door - placing his chest and face and forearms upon this place.(45) 39. And there is no particular dhikr for tawaaf - so he may read Qur'an or say any dhikr he pleases, according to the Prophet's saying : Tawaaf around the House is prayer, except that Allah has allowed speech in it, so he who speaks then let him not say except, good things and in a narration : so let him limit his talk in it."(46) 40. And it is forbidden for a naked person or a mentruating woman to make tawaaf of the House, as he said : A naked person may not make tawaaf of the House."(47) And his saying to 'Aa'ishah when she came to make 'Umrah in the final Hajj : Do as anyone making Hajj does, except do not make tawaaf of the House (and do not pray) until you become clean.(48) 41. So when he finished the seventh round he covers his right shoulder and moves to the Place of Ibrahim and recites: Wattakhidhoo min-maqaami ibraaheema musalla [Soorat-ul-Baqarah ayah 125] (And take ye the Station of Abraham as a place of prayer.) 42. And he places the Maqaami Ibraheem (Place of Abraham) between himself and the Ka'bah and then prays two rak'ahs. 43. And he recites therein Surat-ul-Kaafiroon and Surat-Qul Huwallaahu Ahad. 44. And he should not walk between the hands of any praying person there, nor allow anyone to walk in front of him while he is praying - as the ahadith forbidding that are general - and there is no established exception for the Haram Masjid, let alone the rest of Mukkah.(49) 45. Then after praying he goes to Zamzam and drinks thereof,and pours some of the water onto his head, as he said : "Zamzam water is for what it drunk for"(50) and he said "It is blessed and it is a food and a cure for illness"(51) and he said : The best water upon the face of the earth is Zamzam water, in it is nourishment and a cure from illness.(52) 46. Then he returned to the Black Stone, says takbeer and touches it - as before. Sa'ee Between Safaa And Marwah 47. The he goes off for sa'ee between Safaa and Marwah (two small hills). And when he reaches the foot of Safaa he reads Allaah ta'ala's saying: Innas-safaa wal marwata min sha'aa'irillaahi faman hajjal baita 'awi`tamara falaa janaaha 'alaihi an yattawwafa bihimaa wa man tatawwa'a khiran fa'innallaaha shaakirun 'aleemun [Soorat-ul-Baqarah ayah 158] (Behold! Safa and Marwa are among the Symbols of Allah. So if those who visit the House in the Season or at other times should compass them round, it is no sin in them, and if any one obeys his own impulse to good, be sure that Allaah is He Who recognises and knows.) and says: Nabda'u bimaa bada'allaahu bihi (We begin with what Allaah began with.) 48. Then he begins with as-Safaa - climbing upon it until he can see the Ka'bah.(53) 49. Then he faces the Ka'bah - and makes tauheed of Allaah and takbeer, saying :(54) Allaahu akbar allaahu akbar allaahu akbar - laa illaaha illallahu wahdau laa shareekalahu - lahul mul ku wa lahul hamdu - yuheeu wa yumeetu wa huwa 'alaa kulli shai'in qadeer - laa ilaaha illallahu wahdahu laa shareekalahu - anjaza wa'dahu wa nasara ' abdahu wa hazamal ahzaaba wahdahu Saying that three times and making du'aa after each time.(55) 50. Then he descends for sa'ee between Safaa and Marwah, as Rasoolullah said : Make sa'ee as Allah has prescribed sa'ee for you.(56) 51. So he walks till he reaches the green sign-post - on the right and left - then runs quickly till he reaches the next sign-post. And this place was in the time of the Prophet a dried river bed covered with small stones, and the Prophet said:(57) (The river bed is not crossed except with vigour.) Then he walks up to Marwah and ascends it and does upon it as he did upon as-Safaa - facing the Qiblah, saying takbeer and tahleel and making du'aa(58) and that forms one complete circuit. 52. Then he returns till he ascends as-Safaa - walking in the place for walking, and running in the place for running - and that is a second circuit. 53. Then he returns to Marwah - and so on till he completes seven circuits finishing upon Marwah. 54. And it is permissible for him to go between Safaa and Marwah While riding. However the Prophet preferred to walk.(59) 55. And if he makes du'aa in sa'ee, saying : Rabbighfir warham innaka antal a'azzul akram (O lord forgive and have mercy,verily You are the Most Mighty, Most Noble) then there is no harm as it is authentically reported from a group of the Salaf.(60) 56. Then when he finishes from the seventh circuit upon al-Marwah he shortens the hair of his head(61) thus ending the 'Umrah - and everything that became forbidden to him upon entering iHraam now becomes permissible again - and he remains in the state of hill (being out of iHraam) until Yaum ut-Tarwiyyah (8th Dhul-Hijjah). 57. And he who made iHraam not intending to make 'Umrah before the Hajj - and not having brought the hadi (sacrificial animal) from outside sacred precincts then should also leave the state of iHraam in obedience to the Prophet's order and in avoidance of his anger. Those, however, who have bought the sacrificial animal with them remain in iHraam and do not leave that state until after the stoning on the Day of Sacrifice (Yaum-un-Nahr) (10th Dhul-Hijjah). Ihlaal (Calling Aloud With Tal-Biyyah) For Hajj On Yaum Ut-Tarwiyyah 58. So when it is Yaum ut-Tarwiyyah and that is the 8th of Dhul Hijjah - he puts on iHraam and calls out with the talbiyyah of Hajj, and does as he did when assuming iHraam for 'Umrah which he did from the meeqaat - as regards bathing and putting on perfume, and wearing the ridaa and izaar (upper and lower garments) and reciting talbiyyah - which he does not cease to do until he has stoned Jamrat ul-Aqaha (on 10th Dhul-Hijjah). 59. And he assumes iHraam form the place he is resident in - the people resident in Makkah doing so from Makkah. 60. Then he goes off to Minaa and prays there the Zuhr prayer and remains there, spending the night there and praying the rest of the five daily prayers - shortening them (to two ra'kahs) but without combining them. Proceeding To 'Arafah 61. So after the sun rises on the Day of 'Arafah (10th Dhul-Hijjah) - he moves off towards 'Arafah (a large plain to the south-east of Makkah), while reciting talbiyyah of takbeer - as both of these were practised by the Companions of the Prophet while making Hajj with him - and he did not critize either (those reciting tal-biyyah of those reciting takbeer.) (62) 62. Then he stops at Namirah (63) - and it is a place near to 'Arafah but not forming part of it - and he remains there until noon. 63. So When the sun passes its zenith he moves to 'Uranah and settles there,(64) a... [Full Article...]
