‫ض ُل؟‬ ِ ‫ َأيُّ اَأل ْع َم‬: ‫بي ﷺ‬
ُّ َّ‫ُسِئ َل الن‬

Then he was asked: What is next? ٌ ‫ ِإيـ َم‬:‫قَا َل‬
،‫ان بِاهللِ َو َرسُولِ ِه‬
He replied: Jihād in the cause of Allāh.

Expiation of sins & the ultimate reward
Narrated Abū Hurayrah (‫)رض يهللا عنه‬: The
Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬said: Whoever performs ḥajj for
the sake of Allah and does not commit any
obscenity nor commit any evil, will return (as
sinless) as the day his mother delivered him.
[al-Bukhārī and Muslim]
Narrated Abū Hurayrah (‫)رض يهللا عنه‬: The
Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬said: One ʿumrah to another is an
expiation for sins committed between them;
and the reward of ḥajj mabrūr (i.e., one
accepted) is nothing but Jannah.
[al-Bukhārī and Muslim]
‫ سمعت النبي‬:‫عن أبي هريرة رضي هللا عنه قال‬

know that embracing Islām obliterates all sins

Charity that chases away poverty

Buraydah (‫ )رض يهللا عنه‬reported, Allāh's :‫ع ن بريدة ب ن الحص يب رض ي هللا عن ه قال‬
Messenger ‫ ﷺ‬said: Spending in ḥajj is akin
to spending in the cause of Allāh: a dirham
‫النَّفَقَةُ فِي ال َحجِّ َكالنَّفَقَ ِة فِي‬ : ‫قال رسول هللا ﷺ‬
thus spent is rewarded seven hundred
times over.

:‫ع ن عب د هللا اب ن مس عود رض ي هللا عن ه قال‬

ʿAbdullāh Ibn Masʿūd (‫ )رضيهللا عنه‬reported
that the Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬said: Alternate ‫ تَابِعُوا بَي َْن ال َح ِّج‬: ‫قال رس ول هللا ﷺ‬
between ḥajj and ʿumrah, for they remove
poverty and obliterate sins just as the ‫وب َك َم ا‬ ُّ ‫ان الفَ ْق َر َو‬
َ ُ‫الذن‬ ِ َ‫َوال ُع ْم َر ِة فَِإنَّهُ َم ا يَ ْنفِي‬

Protected guests of Allāh
Abū Hurayrah (‫ )رض يهللا عنه‬reported, Allāh's
Messenger ‫ ﷺ‬said: Three are under the
guaranteed protection and care of Allāh, the
exalted: a man who sets out to a masjid of
Allāh, a man who sets out in the cause of
Allāh, and a man who sets out for ḥajj.
[Abū Dawūd, Al-Ḥumaydi and Abū Naʿīm. Al-
Albānī classified it as ṣaḥīḥ]
Abū Hurayrah (‫ )رض يهللا عنه‬reported that the
Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬said: Those performing ḥajj and
those performing ʿumrah are the guests of
Allāh, He answers their prayers when they
supplicate to Him, and He forgives them when
they seek His forgiveness.

Ḥibbān]

Freedom from Hellfire

‫ع ن عائش ة رض ي هللا عنه ا‬

ʿĀʾishah (‫ )رض يهللا عنها‬reported, Allāh's
Messenger ‫ ﷺ‬said: There is no day when Allāh
‫ َم ا ِم ْن يَ ْو ٍم َأ ْكثَ َر‬:‫أن رسول هللا ﷺ قال‬
sets free more servants from Hell Fire than the ‫ار ِم ْن يَ ْو ِم‬ ِ َّ‫يه َع ْب ًدا ِم َن الن‬ ِ ِ‫ق هللا ُ ف‬ َ ِ‫ِم ْن َأ ْن يُ ْعت‬

geographical boundary that a person, heading to Makkah
and intending ḥajj or ʿumrah, may not cross without

the mīqāt, then he/she must offer an animal sacrifice as
an expiation (fidyah)

 Ḥaram of Makkah
‫َح َر ُم َم َّك َة‬
The Ḥaram of Makkah is the sanctified area surrounding Makkah. It
was delimited by Ibrāhīm (‫ )علي ه ا لص الة وا لسالم‬under the guidance of
Jibrīl (‫)عليه ا لسالم‬

After the opening of Makkah (‫)فَ ْت ُح َم َّك َة‬, Prophet Muḥammad ‫ ﷺ‬sent
Tamīm Ibn ʾAsd al-Khuzāʿī to renew the boundaries of the Ḥaram

Flags have been put on the mountains and hills to indicate the limits
of the Ḥaram. The number of flags reached 943 at some point, but
most of them were ruined. New flags have been added by recent
committees to reach a total of 1104 flags

Area of the Ḥaram = 550 Km2 (212 mi2)

Perimeter of the Ḥaram = 127 Km (79 mi)

The Ḥaram of Makkah is sanctified
Indeed, those who disbelieve and avert
[people] from the way of Allāh and ِ ‫يل هَّللا‬

made for the people, equal are the ‫اس‬

ِ ِ‫َس َوا ًء ْال َعا ِكف ُ ف‬

whoever intends a [deed of] deviation ‫يه‬
therein wrongfully, We will make him
taste of a painful punishment.  .‫ب َألِ ٍيم‬

[al-Ḥajj, 25] ﴾25 ،‫﴿الحج‬

In the Ḥaram of Makkah, good deeds are multiplied and earn a much
higher reward. However, the severity of sins is much greater than
elsewhere, to the extent that evil intention incurs a painful
punishment.
This applies to anyone while in the Ḥaram of Makkah, whether a
resident, a visitor, or one performing ʿumrah or ḥajj.
33
 Restrictions while in the
Ḥaram of Makkah
Its plants must not be cut,
Its game must not be frightened,
Articles lost in it must not be picked up except by someone
making announcement to find the owner,
Nor is any man to bear arms for fighting in it.

Note: the above is part of a ḥadīth of the Prophet ‫ﷺ‬

These restrictions apply to the Ḥaram of Madīnah as well
They apply to everyone, whether in a state of iḥrām or not,
during any time of the year

 Impact on Iḥrām for Ḥajj and ʿUmrah
From where?
Madīnah
• The location from where a pilgrim initiates a A
journey for ḥajj or ʿumrah will determine where
he/she is required to assume iḥrām. This will be
detailed later on in the ḥajj and ʿumrah B
procedures.
A. A pilgrim coming from outside (Africa, Europe,
( ّ ِ‫)آفَاق‬.
Madīnah, etc.) is called ʾĀfāqiy ‫ي‬
B. A pilgrim who is within the mawāqīt limits but C
outside the Ḥaram of Makkah (like Jeddah), is Makkah

 Ḥajj Packages
• Ḥajj Packages: Makkah First
• Ḥajj Packages: Madīnah First

44
 Ḥajj Packages
Most ḥajj packages consist of 3 periods:
Stay in Makkah
Stay in Madīnah
Ḥajj days: 8th – 13th of Dhul-Ḥijjah
Your ḥajj package will be a combination of those 3 periods,
depending on the chronological order
Makkah gets very crowded the week before ḥajj days, i.e. 1st
to 7th of Dhul-Ḥijjah, while Madīnah becomes less busy
Fasting, whether in Makkah or Madīnah, during the first
days of Dhul-Ḥijjah is recommended; but not during the
days of ḥajj, because of the physical effort required during
those days

45
 Ḥajj Packages - Makkah First
If Makkah is your first stop then you must assume iḥrām for ʿumrah
before landing in Jeddah. Jeddah is beyond the Mīqāt
Make the Niyah and say talbiyah when mīqāt is announced during the
flight, before landing in Jeddah, approximately:
20 minutes (passing by Rābigh) – Flights from Europe, Jordan, Syria, etc.
30 minutes (passing by Qarn al-Manāzil) – Flights from UAE, Omān, etc.

You need to have a pair of iḥrām towels with you for your ʿumrah
before travel. You can buy a second one for your ḥajj from Makkah or
Madīnah, or wash and reuse the ones you use for ʿumrah
Make sure you keep the iḥrām towels in your handbag. Do not put
them in your luggage
Put on iḥrām towels in the last stop-over airport of your trip before
boarding your flight to Jeddah. It’s extremely difficult to put on iḥrām
towels in the airplane, with the exception of some airlines
46
Ḥajj Packages - Madīnah First

If your first stop is Madīnah then you do not need to assume

iḥrām on your way to Madīnah

You can buy iḥrām towels from Madīnah (recommended)

Your mīqāt for ʿumrah is Dhul-Ḥulayfah (Abyār ʿAli)

A policy of the Ministry of Ḥajj now requires all pilgrims to

leave Madīnah by the 5th of Dhul-Ḥijjah

47
 Leaving Madīnah on the 5 th

of Dhul-Ḥijjah
If Madīnah was your first stop then you will assume iḥrām for
ʿumrah that you perform upon arriving in Makkah. On the 8th of
Dhul-Ḥijjah you assume iḥrām for ḥajj from your place of
residence in Makkah (or ʿAzīziyah)

If Makkah was your first stop and you already performed a

ʿumrah then you have the following options:
1. Assume iḥrām for ḥajj from Dhul-Ḥulayfah. However, in this case
you will be in a state of iḥrām for a longer time, which may involve
some hardship for some people (men in particular). Alternatively,…
2. Assume iḥrām for a second ʿumrah that you complete upon arrival
in Makkah, and then assume iḥrām for ḥajj on the 8 th from your
residence in Makkah/ʿAzīziyah

48
The Journey…

49
 Day of Departure (1)

Double check necessary items to take. Use a checklist.

Passport
Official residency document (s.a. the Green Card), if applicable
Vaccination record. This is usually stapled to your passport
Money / credit card
Phone numbers and addresses (of your ḥajj operator, if applicable,
hotels in Makkah, Madīnah, and Jeddah)

Keep at least a set of clothes in your carry-on bag, in case your

luggage doesn’t make it to Jeddah/Madīnah

50
 Day of Departure (2)

US travelers: if your itinerary includes a domestic stop-over

before your flight to Jeddah, recuperate your luggage and
check it in again yourself. Luggage staying behind is a quite
common incident
Leave early for the airport
Pray two rakʿahs at home before you leave (this is a sunnah)
Greet your family and friends with duʿā from the Sunnah
Recite duʿā for travel once you get in the car…

First you go through

Customs/Immigration

And then you wait for a

bus (of the Ḥajj Ministry

to take you to Makkah.

Perform your ṣalah on time

Jeddah will be a first test for
