 3 Types of Hajj
➢ IFRAAD – One enters into state of ihram

performed)

➢ TAMATTU’- One enters into ihram twice.

Performs Umrah in 1st ihram, removes it,
then enters into ihram again for Hajj before
8th Dhul Hijjah

➢ QIRAAN – One enters into state of ihram

once and performs Umrah & Hajj in same
ihram
 Most Rewarding Type of
Hajj
According to the Hanafi School of Fiqh, Hajj e
Qiraan is the most virtuous, then Hajj e
Tamattu, then Hajj e Ifraad
 Focus; Hajj e Tamattu’

➢ Most perform TAMATTU’. Therefore we will

focus on Tamattu’

➢ Anyone performing other type, do ask

questions
Ihram
3 Questions

When?
What?
How?
 When to come into Ihram?
3 Possibilities

➢ Going Madinah first – no need for ihram

➢ Going Makkah:
❖ Direct flight – wear ihram from home
but DO NOT make intention yet.
❖ Transit flight (minimum 3-4hr) – come
into ihram during stop over. Keep
ihram on hand!
 What is Ihram?
➢ Ihram does not mean to wear 2 pieces of
cloth.

➢ Ihram is a condition the person comes into

after intention and talbiyah. This makes
certain things that were lawful before
unlawful on himself.

➢ Hence if someone wants to change the

cloth of Ihram/clothes (woman) after
donning it, it is permissible.
 How?
Things to do from home
➢ Bathe before leaving the house (including
clipping nails & removing unwanted hair)

➢ Wear 2 cloths if ihram (males)

➢ After bathing, but before the niyyah it is

Mustahab to wear itr on body & ihram
 How? Contnd…
➢ Pray 2 rakah sunnah salah (avoiding
makrooh time)
o First Rak’ah – Surah Kafiroon
o Second Rak’ah – Surah Ikhlaas
➢ Pray salah with head covered (make du'a)
➢ Remove head covering and make Niyyah for
Umrah
➢ Recite Talbiyah loudly three times (for
males), once is a condition, thrice is Sunnah
➢ Send Durood upon the Prophet ‫ & ﷺ‬make
Dua
Note: Do not make intention and recite Talbiyah
if wearing ihram from home
 ‫‪Talbiyah‬‬

‫لَ َّب ْیک اللّهُ َّم لَ َّب ْیک‬

‫َشْی َک لَ َک لَ َّب ْیک‬ ‫لَ َّب ْیک ال َِ‬
‫ا َّن الْ َح ْمدَ وال ِنّ ْع َم َة لَ َک َوالْ ُملْک‬
‫َشْی َک لَک‬ ‫ال َ ِ‬
 Talbiyah; the beauty of Hajj

Jaabir Ibn Abdullah (RA) narrates that ‫ ﷺ‬said: The

person who dons the Ihram in the morning, then
continues to recite the Talbiyah till the evening; his
sins are forgiven in such a way, that it will be as
though his mother has given birth to him today. (Ibn
Majah)

➢ Talbiyah is the most virtuous zikr of Hajj

➢ Recite individually, not collectively

lifted his hands and recited the Takbeer.
(Fathur Rabbani Vol 12 Pg 7)

Abu Umamah RA narrates that Rasul

Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said that dua is
accepted when sighting the Baitullah.

hand over Rukn Al-Yamani without turning the chest and
face toward Baitullah. However due to perfume being on
it and rush this will not be possible. Do not make istilam of
it.

Rabbana aatina fid dunya hasanah wa fil akhirati
hasanah wa qina adhaban nar
 Important Masaail Regarding
Tawaf
➢ Do not talk of worldly affairs

➢ Do not gaze at the Ka’bah. To turn the face and chest

towards Baitullah during tawaf is permissible only
while performing Istilam of Hajar e Aswad.

➢ Read in a low voice. It is impermissible to read very

loud or collectively in groups as this causes
inconvenience to others

➢ Make intention of Sa’ee:

“O Allah I intend to make Sa’ee between
Safa and Marwah seven laps for the
pleasure of Allah, hence make it easy for
me and accept it from me.”
 Sa’ee continued…
➢ Stand facing the Qiblah raising your hands in
dua.

➢ Do not raise your hands like in takbeer-e-

tahrimah

➢ Then:
• Recite Takbeer & Tahleel x 3 ,
• Durood Shareef
• 4th Kalimah then Dua
• Commence the Sa’ee.

➢ Do the same at Marwah.

Note: Make any zikr, dua during Sa’ee and refrain

with a slow pace & Women will walk at a normal pace.
Important Points Regarding
Sa’ee
➢ It is better to do Sa’ee on the ground floor
and permissible on the top floors

➢ Wudhu is preferable for sa’ee but not

necessary.

➢ It is not necessary to climb right up Safa.

Climb to a height where you can see the
Ka’bah

more virtuous

➢ or QASR - Trim the hair of the ENTIRE head

at least equivalent to the first joint of the
forefinger (1 inch)

➢ Umrah is now complete and all the

restrictions of ihram will be lifted

Note: It is permissible to trim/shave your own

hair or someone else's after all rituals have
been completed
May Allah Ta’ala accept your Umrah and
bestow you with it’s blessings!

 Alhamdulillah, all the rites of
Hajj are now complete. May
Allah Almighty accept your Hajj
and shower His blessings on you
and your family. Ameen
 Ziyarah
of
Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah
 Preparing For Madinah
Traveling to visit the grave of the Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬is among the best
deeds and the greatest acts of worship that draws one nearer
to Allah Almighty.

The Noble Messenger ‫ ﷺ‬has emphasised the importance of

visiting his grave in numerous ahadeeth. Some are produced
below:
“Whosoever visits my grave, intercession on his behalf
becomes compulsory upon me.”
“Whoever visits me after my demise is as though he visited
me in my life.”
“Whoever performs Hajj and doesn’t visit me has mistreated
me.”

Logic too dictates that we pay our respects to our guide and
saviour and the saviour of mankind at his grave, as he is alive in
his grave.

However, it is important to point out that hajj will be perfectly

complete even if one does not visit Madinah.
 En route to Madinah
• Leave all sin.
• Ensure to adopt Sunnah clothing
• Ones appearance should be in accordance to
Sunnah. That which pleases Rasulullah ‫ ﷺ‬-
BEARD…
• Carry out every action according to Sunnah
• Study a book on Seerah
• Study chapter of ziyarah from Fadhaile Hajj
• Increase Durood
• Think ‘I am going to see the best man on the
face of this Earth…’
• Recite poetry and naat
• As you get closer…increase durood and
yearning
 Arrival in Madinah
Once in the city, head for your hotel
room after securing your luggage. If it is
time for Salah, pray in the closest area of
the Masjid and return to your hotel.

Prepare yourself by taking a bath,

wearing your best clothes and applying
your best perfume.
 Leaving for
Ziyaarah/Muwaajaha
• Remain engaged in Salat and Salam.
• Lower your gazes out of humility and respect.
• Try to imagine the Madinah of the Noble
Messenger ‫ ﷺ‬and his Companions.
• Give sadaqah – expiation of sin
• Send reward of ibadah (Isale thawab) to
Rasulullah ‫ ﷺ‬- Quran etc
• Do NOT criticise anything of Madinah
 Entering Masjid un Nabawi
• Enter the Masjid from the Door of Salam (the
Eastern door near the front of the Masjid) if
possible.
• Enter the masjid with aadaab and sunan
• Proceed towards Riyadhul Jannah (Garden of
Jannah). Rasulullah ‫ ﷺ‬said:
“The area between my house and my minbar is
one of the gardens of Paradise.” (Bukhari and
Muslim)
• Read 2 rakah Tahiyyatul Masjid here.
Otherwise anywhere in the Haram
• Now proceed towards the Rawdha
 Proceeding to the Rawdha
There will be directions in place or stewards who will direct you
towards the appropriate area for saying Salam.

Keep moving with the flow of people with gazes low and Salat on
your lips. Towards your right will be the front wall of the Masjid
and towards your left the old Masjid with a barrier.

Keep moving with the flow of people with gazes low and Salat on
your lips.
When you can see the Grave Precinct towards your left, know
that you are approaching the Noble Grave. (see image on next
slide)

The front face of the Precinct is divided into three sectors by two
pillars. The first and the third sectors are empty. The noble
bodies of the Messenger ‫ ﷺ‬and his two Companions are all
buried in the middle sector. There are three holes in the metal
fence covering this sector. These holes are directly opposite the
blessed faces of the Messenger ‫ ﷺ‬and his Companions. (see
image on next slide)
 Ziyaarah/Muwaajaha

EMPTY

1. Blessed grave of the Noble Messenger ‫ﷺ‬

2. Blessed grave of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr-as-Siddiq (RA)
3. Blessed grave of Sayyiduna Umar Al Faruq (RA)
 Salaat & Salaam
Here you will convey your Salam to the Messenger ‫ ﷺ‬and his
Companions and pay your respects to them. Remember that the
Messenger ‫ ﷺ‬is alive in his grave and can hear your Salam or it is
conveyed to him.

Once you are opposite the Messenger’s ‫ ﷺ‬face, pause and with
utmost respect, say with a very soft voice:
 Whilst in Madinah
• Fix an amount of durood daily
• Present yourself for Salaam daily
• Try to read 40 salah with Jamaah – freedom
from nifaaq and freedom from Jahannam
• Perform salah and make dua at the various
significant places within Masjid-un-Nabawi
• It is Sunnah to visit Masjid Quba on
Saturdays
• Go for Ziyaarah of Madinah
• Do not waste time in shopping
• Read all your salah with takbeer-e-ula
• Spend as much time as you can in the
Haram
 Departing
As the time for departure nears, the hearts of the pilgrims will
fill with sorrow and grief at the thought of departing from such
blessed lands. This condition of the heart is very pleasing to the
Almighty, so these last few hours must be spent in repentance,
gratitude and supplication.

For the final time, the pilgrim will approach the Noble Precinct
with love and humility and convey his last Salam to the Noble
Messenger ‫ﷺ‬.

At this moment, we should all make a firm resolution in the

court of the Noble Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬that we will never go back to our
old ways again. We will accept him as our only role-model in life
and emulate his lifestyle in every aspect.

This is the best tribute a visitor to the Radiant City can give to
the one who gave it its radiance –Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam

May the almighty always keep us steadfast upon his religion.

Aameen.
 May Allah Almighty make your
