Ihraam: It is the first
compulsory act of Hajj-e-Tamattu.
The best time for this Ihraam is eighth of Thul-Hijjah, although it
is allowed to wear Ihraam three days before this, especially for the
aged and those suffering from illness. They are allowed to put on
Ihraam and leave for Arafaat before others. The best place for
wearing this Ihraam is at Maqam-e-Ibraheem. The rules of Ihraam for
Hajj-e-Tamattu are the same as those of
Umra-e-Tamattu. The only difference between the two is of
Intention (Niyyat), which should be that of Hajj-e-Tamattu.
When this Ihraam is worn
it is ihtiyat that no Sunnat Tawaaf be performed before leaving for
Arafaat; otherwise, if this done, it is ihtiyat for one to renew the
Talbiyah.
It is Mustahab to wear
Ihraam on eighth of Thul-Hijjah after Namaz of Zohr and Asr and
spend that night in Mina; otherwise it can be worn on the ninth of
Thul-Hijjah.
The
old and the sick and those ladies fearing the monthly period may
wear Ihraam earlier and are allowed to perform Tawaaf of Hajj/Tawaaf
Al-Zeyaarah, perform Tawaaf prayers, perform Sayee and even Tawaaf-Un-Nisa
and its prayer before proceeding to Arafaat on 8th Thul-Hijjah. But
if possible it is better to repeat these rituals from 11th to 13th
Thul-Hijjah.
If it is not possible to
wear Ihraam for Hajj-e-Tamattu before the time for Arafaat, this
Hajj becomes invalid and it has to be repeated the following year,
or earliest future.
One who omits Ihraam
because of forgetfulness or ignorance of the rule and then remembers
or comes to know of the rule, he must go back to Makkah, even though
he may have reached Arafaat, to put on Ihraam. In case there is no
time or there is some valid excuse, he has to wear it wherever he
is. The sunnat matters in this Ihraam are the same as those of the
Ihraam for Umra-e-Tamattu, except that one should recite the
Talbiyah silently until Abtah (name of a place).
02.
Wukuuf-e-Arafaat: It is
the second compulsory act of Hajj-e-Tamattu.
It means to be present in Arafaat from noon on ninth Thul-Hijjah
till Maghrib-e-Sharii (approx. 10 minutes after sunset) of the same
day, regardless of whether one is riding, or on foot and whether one
stays still or is on the move.
Intention (Niyyat) can be
expressed in these words: "I
am staying in Arafaat from Zohr to Maghrib-e-Sharii for
Hajj-e-Tamattu for Hajjatul Islam Wajib Qurbatan ilallaah."
It is necessary that the
stay at Arafaat must be conscious i.e., one should not sleep all the
time or be unconscious. Otherwise, it will not be considered as
staying.
In case one omits to stay
in Arafaat because of forgetfulness or some valid excuse, he must
repay it by an emergency stay there even for a short time the same
night, i.e., Shab-e-Eid. If one ignores the emergency staying also,
the Hajj becomes invalid.

Wukuuf-e-Mash'ar (or Muzdalifa):
It is the third compulsory act of Hajj-e-Tamattu.
A pilgrim must stay at
Mash'ar from dawn to sunrise on the tenth of Thul-Hijjah. If one
leaves Arafaat for Mash'ar after sunset, one should pass the night
at Mash'ar.
One who does not stay at
Mash'ar the whole period from Dawn to Sunrise, his Hajj will be
considered void, except for children, women, those afraid of some
thing, the weak ones, old people and the sick ones. They are allowed
to stay there at night and leave for Mina before the dawn of the
tenth of Thul-Hijjah.
One who passes the night
of Eid at Mash'ar and leaves before dawn because of being ignorant
of the rule, apparently, his Hajj will be valid, but he has to pay
an expiation of one sheep.
One who intentionally
omits to stay there or because of forgetfulness or other valid
excuse he must do an emergency stay i.e., stay there from after
sunrise until noon of the tenth of Thul-Hijjah.
There are two Intentions
(Niyyat), which can be expressed in these words:
-
At night: "I am
passing this night in Mash'ar till Subh Sadiq for Hajj-e-Tamattu
for Hajjatul Islam Wajib Qurbatan ilallaah".
-
Just before Dawn:
"I am staying in Mash'ar
from Subh Sadiq till sunrise for Hajj-e-Tamattu for Hajjatul Islam
Wajib Qurbatan ilallaah".

state of serenity, ask forgiveness from the Almighty Allah and

prayers at Arafaat to pray them together at Mash'ar with one
Adhaan and two Eqamahs even if one third of the night has passed.

circumstances should one allow the Namaz to be Kazaa.

It is the fourth compulsory act of Hajj-e-Tamattu, which should be
performed on the tenth of Thul-Hijjah with the following conditions:
-
Intention (Niyyat):
"I am throwing seven pebbles one by one on Jamaraah of Al-Aqabah
for Hajj-e-Tamattu for Hajjatul Islam Wajib Qurbatan ilallaah".
-
The seven pebbles must
be thrown at the Jamaraat one by one, not two or more together.
-
Each pebble must hit
the Jamaraah directly.
-
This act must be
completed between sunrise and sunset, but those who are allowed to
leave Mash'ar before dawn may do so on the eve of tenth of
Thul-Hijjah.
-
A doubtful hitting of a
pebble must be considered as in valid.
-
Throwing other things
instead of the pebbles is not allowed.
Mustahabaat/Recommended
Acts for hitting at the Jamaraats:
-
To be in taharat i.e.,
Wudhu or Ghusl.
-
While hitting the
Jamaraats to stand on the ground and recite ALLAHU AKBAR at each
throws.
-
To stand at a distance
of 10-15 feet from the Jamrah.

stand with Qibla at the back. When hitting Jamrah Al-Ula and
Jamara Al-Wusta stand facing Qibla.
Conditions
for the Pebbles:
-
They must be from the
Al-Haram and it is better that they should be the ones collected
at Mash'ar.
-
They must not have been
already used in the act.
-
The pebbles should
preferably be of several colors and about the size of a fingertip.
If it is not thrown on
Eid Day because of forgetfulness or in ignorance of the rule, it
must be done till thirteenth of Thul-Hijjah whenever one remembers,
or comes to know of the rule. It is not allowed during the night,
except for the categories mentioned earlier.
In case it is remembered
after the thirteenth of Thul-Hijjah, one should return to Mina to
complete it himself or ask his proxy to complete the following year.
If one remembers it after Tawaaf of Hajj, one does not need to
perform Tawaaf again, although it is ihtiyat to do so.
If it is omitted
willfully and knowingly, apparently, one's Tawaaf will be
invalidated and one must perform Tawaaf again after the throwing of
pebbles is completed.
Sick people who are
unable to go personally to throw the pebbles at the Jamaraats can
appoint their agents to do so on their behalf.
05.
Qurbani (Sacrifice-Offering):
It is the fifth compulsory act of Hajj-e-Tamattu.
Intention (Niyyat) can be
expressed in these words: "I
offer this sacrifice for Hajj-e-Tamattu for Hajjatul Islam Wajib
Qurbatan ilallaah".
It must take place during
the day. Those who are afraid for some reason are allowed to do it
at night.
It must be done after
throwing pebbles at Jamrah Al-Aqabah, but if it is done before
throwing pebbles because of ignorance of forgetfulness, the act is
valid and there is no need to do it again.
It is not necessary for
one to do it himself. An agent can be appointed to do it.
Ihtiyatan, the sacrifice
should be offered on the Eid Day. In case it is not done because of
forgetfulness or other valid reasons or due to ignorance of the
rule, it must be fulfilled by the end of the Tashreeq (11th, 12th
and 13th) days. If the reason still obtains it can be postponed
until the end of Thul-Hijjah.
If it is remembered or
one comes to know of the rule after Tawaaf of Hajj that the
sacrifice has been omitted, a new Tawaaf of Hajj is not necessary
although it is Ihtiyat to repeat it. However, if it is omitted
willfully and knowingly, the Tawaaf of Hajj already made,
apparently, will be invalidated and one must perform it again after
offering the sacrifice.
The
sacrificial animal:
-
It must be physically
perfect, thus, an animal that is blind, lame, one-eared or with a
horn broken is not acceptable.
-
If it is a camel it
must be over 5 yeas old. If it is a cow or goat it must be over
two years old. If it is a sheep it must be over seven months old,
ihtiyatan over one year old. If after making the sacrifice one
realizes a shortcoming in the sacrificial animal, one has to offer
another one.
-
It must not be a weak
or sick animal.
-
Two or more people
cannot share the sacrifice of one animal.
-
If one cannot get an
appropriate animal nor afford its price, one must, instead of
this, fast three days; seventh, eighth and ninth of Thul-Hijjah,
and ihtiyatan seven successive days at home.
-
The sacrificial animal
should be a female camel or cow, a male goat or a black or grey
male sheep with fully-grown horns.
Distribution
of sacrificed animal:
The flesh of the
sacrificed animal must, ihtiyatan, be divided into three:
-
For pilgrim himself.
-
For the faithful.
-
For the poor.
The share of the poor can
be given to him or his proxy. If after slaughtering it, the
sacrificial animal is picked-up by thieves or taken away by someone
before the shares are given to proper recipient, the person offering
sacrifice has no responsibility, but if he willfully misses the
chance to give the shares to proper recipients and gives to an
improper recipient, he is ihtiyatan responsible for the two-thirds.
If distributing one-third
to the faithful and one-third to the poor proves to be difficult,
then this requirement is deferred. Niyyat for the purpose will be
sufficient.
It is recommended that in
such a case one may pay cash to the poor the value of one-third of
the sacrificial animal.
Apparently majority of
the pilgrim cannot slaughter the animal as a sacrifice themselves.
Therefore, they should appoint agents to do soon their behalf
instructing the agents to make the Niyyat on their behalf.
In most cases the
slaughterers at Mina speak and understand only Arabic. It is,
therefore, advisable to go in company with one who knows Arabic to
enable him explain the slaughterer to make a proper Intention (Niyyat),
i.e., "Adhbahu Hadhihiz
Zabihata Niyaabatan (name of the pilgrim)... Li Hajjit Tamattui
LiHajjatul Islam, LiWujubihi, Qurbatan ilallaah".
While slaughtering he
should say "BISMILLAHI, ALLAHU AKBAR"
It is Mustahab for the
pilgrim to keep his hand on the knife or on the hand of the
slaughterer and make Niyyat of his own, as if he was slaughtering
the animal for sacrifice himself.
06.
Taqseer or Halaq (clipping hairs or shaving the head):
It is the sixth compulsory act of Hajj-e-Tamattu.
It (ihtiyatan) should be
done after Ramy (throwing pebbles) of Jamrah Al-Aqabah and offering
of sacrifice.
Intention (Niyyat) can be
expressed in these words: "I
am performing Taqseer or Halaq for Hajj-e-Tamattu for Hajjatul Islam
Wajib Qurbatan ilallaah".
For ladies Halaq is
prohibited, they must only do taqseer.
Men may do Taqseer or,
preferably, halaq i.e., shave their head, especially those going for
the first time to perform Hajj-e-Tamattu. One who knows that because
of shaving his head he will bleed, he first should do Taqseer, then
shave his head.
If because of
forgetfulness or ignorance of the rule he omits this act until he is
out of Mina, he must go back to Mina for Taqseer or Halaq.
If he comes to know of
the rule or remembers it after Hajj rituals, apparently, he does not
need to renew his Tawaaf, although, ihtiyatan he should renew it and
the Sayee also. It is mustahab to bury one's hairs in the tent in
Mina.
Once the act of Taqseer
or Halaq is observed it is permitted to remove the Ihraam clothes,
although it is MAKRUH to do so until after completing the A'maals of
Makkah described here after. After Taqseer or Halaq, what was
previously prohibited in the State of Ihraam is now permitted except
for the three things, namely:
(1) Sex (2) Perfume & (3)
Hunting
The first two things will
be permitted on completion of A'maal-e-Makkah whereas hunting is
perpetually prohibited in and around the land of Makkah.
07-09.
A'maal-e-Makkah:
comprise Tawaaf of Hajj/Tawaaf Al-Zeyaarah, its prayer (Salaat
Al-Tawaaf) and Sayee. These are the seventh, eighth and
ninth compulsory act of Hajj-e-Tamattu. The Tawaaf of Hajj must be
performed after Halaq or Taqseer. If intentionally and knowingly it
is done before, it must be repeated after these acts. It is not
allowed to perform the Tawaaf of Hajj, its prayer and Sayee before
staying in Arafaat and Mash'ar. However the aged, and women fearing
monthly period, are allowed to perform the Tawaaf of Hajj and its
prayer before staying at Arafaat and Mash'ar and later complete
Sayee.
Intention (Niyyat) for
the above acts should be the same as those of
. Except that Umra-e-Tamattu becomes
Hajj-e-Tamattu.
10-11.
Tawaaf-Un-Nisa and its prayer:
These are the tenth and eleventh compulsory act of Hajj-e-Tamattu.
When they are performed, a pilgrim is allowed lawful sex. Intention
(Niyyat) for Tawaaf-Un-Nisa is the same as that Tawaaf of Hajj,
except the wordings Tawaaf-Un-Nisa should be included in the Niyyat.
The same goes for its prayer (Salaat Al-Tawaaf).
One
who is allowed to complete Tawaaf and Sayee before the two stays
(i.e., at Arafah and Mash'ar) the use of perfume for him is not
allowed until he or she completes Ramy, offering of sacrifice and
Taqseer or Halaq.
One who completes the
Tawaaf-Un-Nisa before the two stays (at Arafah and Mash'ar) because
of some valid reason; sex is not allowed before completing the
rituals in Mina.
12.
Mabeet (Nights in Mina):
It is the twelfth compulsory act of Hajj-e-Tamattu.
A pilgrim must
consciously pass the 11th, and 12th nights of Thul-Hijjah in Mina.
It is not necessary to be there the whole night. It is sufficient to
pass either half but it is better not to enter Makkah in the later
half of the night.
Intention
(Niyyat) can be expressed in these words:
"I am spending the night in Mina for
Hajj-e-Tamattu for Hajjatul Islam Wajib Qurbatan ilallaah".
One has to leave Mina and
its boundary in the afternoon before sunset on the 12th of
Thul-Hijjah. If, for any reason, he is not able to get out of Mina
and its boundary by sunset, he must, if possible pass the following
night there. Otherwise if he goes out, he has, ihtiyatan, to give
one sheep in expiation. For omitting this act there is an expiation
of one sheep for each night and ihtiyatan even through forgetfulness
or ignorance of the rule.
13.
Ramy Jamaraats: It is
the thirteenth compulsory act of Hajj-e-Tamattu.
The pilgrims have to
perform this act in Mina on 11th, and 12th day of Thul-Hijjah and
also on 13th Thul-Hijjah if one also has passed the previous night
there.
The pebbles must be
thrown on the Jamaraat in their prescribed order, i.e., beginning
from the one coming first from Mina towards Makkah - called Al-Jamrah
Al-Ula, then the next one to it - called Al-Jamrah Al-Wusta and
lastly the nearest to Makkah - called Al-Jamrah Al-Aqabah.
Each
Jamrah must be stoned by seven pebbles in the same way as described
earlier.
If one has to pass the
eve of 13th Thul-Hijjah in Mina then on the following morning after
throwing the pebbles at the Jamaraat, one can leave for Makkah
immediately.
Tawaaf-ul-Wida (Tawaaf
of leave/departure): This
is a Mustahab Tawaaf. Before departure from Makkah, it is Mustahab
to make Ghusl and then perform Tawaaf-ul-Wida with its prayer.
Then pray to the Almighty
Allah for another chance to perform Hajj. After finishing the above
act it is recommended to go out from the door called Baabul Hannatin.
It is Mustahab to
purchase dates worth minimum Rls. 1.00 and distribute to the poor in
Makkah as Sadaqa. |
