5-Endless Bliss Fifth Fascicle - Hakikat Kitabevi

It is necessary to provide the conditions for performing the
hajj. But a woman does not have to get married or imitate the
Shâfi’î Madhhab in order to go on hajj. For, the husband does
not have to take his wife on hajj. Nor is it permissible for her to
contract a temporary marriage with a man going on hajj. This is
written in Durr-ul-muntaqâ.
If a person lacking one of the conditions for incumbency
goes on hajj, he has made a supererogatory hajj. He will have
to make hajj again when the conditions are completed. If a
person lacking one of the conditions for performance goes on
hajj, he has performed the fard.
A woman cannot go on hajj without a man to accompany
her. Her hajj will be accepted if she goes, but it is harâm. When
she goes with her husband (or eternally mahram relative), it is
harâm for her to join men in a hotel, during the tawâf and sâ’i, or
while throwing stones, which would not only annihilate the
thawâb for hajj but would also cost her a grave sin. A woman
without any eternally mahram relatives sends a deputy in her
place when she is old, when she cannot see any more, or when
she catches an uncurable disease. She does not send a deputy
before then.

Hajj is not sahîh if any one of these three farâid is not
fulfilled.
1 - To make the hajj in an ihrâm. An ihrâm, like large bath
towels, consists of two white pieces of cloth, one of which is
wrapped around that part of the body below the waist and the
other is wrapped around the shoulders. It is not fastened with
thread or secured with knots. Before beginning the Tawâf, it is
sunnat to wrap the Ihrâm round the upper part of body, with the
middle part of the ihrâm under the right arm and its two ends on
the left shoulder.
For people who come (to Mekka) from long distances for
hajj, ’umra, trade or for any other purpose, it is harâm to go
through the places called Mîqât and enter the Harem, that is,
the blessed city of Mekka, without the ihrâm on. Any person
who passes by (the Mîqât without the ihrâm on) has to return to
the Mîqât and put on the ihrâm. If he does not put on the ihrâm
he will have to kill an animal of qurbân. Between the places
called Mîqât and the Harem, that is, the city of Mekka, is called
