"The Pilgrimage", which commences on the 8th of Dhu'l-
Hijjah. There are three types of Hajj:
1. Hajjat-Tamata'a (interrupted). Umra followed by
Hajj, but taking off the Ihram in between these
two stages.
2. Hajj al-Qiran (combined). Umra then Hajj without
taking off the Ihram.
3. Hajj al-Ifrad (single). Hajj without Umra. A
pilgrimage to Makkah in the twelfth month of the
Islamic calendar is also known as Hajj al-Ifrad.
The performance of Hajj consists of ten steps:
1. Put on the Ihram at the appointed
station, then recite the Talbiyah.
Recitation is done aloud by men and
quietly by women. Depending on
what type of Hajj you are doing,
perform the necessary rites at the
Ka'aba on arrival in Makkah.
SeeTalbiya.
2. Go to Mina (on the 8th of the month).
Pray the Duhr, 'Asr, Maghreb, Isha
and Fajr prayers at their proper times,
but shortening the four Rak'at to two,
as if doing travelling prayers.
3. When the sun rises (on the 9th of the
month), go to 'Arafat and combine
the Duhr and 'Asr Salat.
4. After the sun sets, go to al-
Muzdallifa, reciting the Talbiyah.
Combine the Maghreb and the 'Isha
Salat. After the Fajr prayer, raise your
hands and do Du'a. (After midnight,
women and the weak may proceed to
Mina if they wish.)
