Precincts. Preclncts. May He accept from all ol of us our good deeds

The following followlng advice advlce Is is being offered to you in the
hope that Allah will wlll accept from all of us our fiarland hajj and our
striving. strlvlng.
1. Remember that you are on a blessed blsssed journey. This Thls
journey, Journey, which whlch Is is a migration migratlon toward Allah, is based on
belief In in His Hls Unity (tawheedJ, on sincerity toward Him,
on responding respondlng to His call, and on obedience to His
commands. There Is ls no greater reward than that of a hajj haii
which whlch Is ls acceptable acceplable to Allah Nlah Ta'alah-the reward of the
Garden Garclen of Paradise. Paraclise.
2. 8e Be on your guard against the mischief mlschief of Satan, who
intends to cause dissention among you. Love each other

as brothers and avold avoid disputes and disobedience to
Allah. Know that tho the Messenger ol of Allah (may peace
and blesslngs blessings ofAltah Allah be on him) sald, said, ".. Noneol of you has
trulybelleved believed unless hellkes likes forhls his brother what the likes
for hlmself." himself."
3. Whenever you YQu have a question concerning religious
matt€rs matters or concsrning concerning thenall, hajj, ask knowledgeable Mus' Mus·
lims Iims until.you receive a satisfactory answor. answer. This is in
accordance with what Allah has said: "lf "If ye realise this not,
ask of those who possess The Message." it is also in
accordance with what the Prophet (peace be on him) has
said: "When Allah intends good for someone, someone' He gives
him understanding of the religion."
4. Know that Allah has made certain acts fard /ard(obliga·
(obliga'
tory) and other acts sunnah sry(according
to the practice of
.---
the Prophet, peace be on him). Allah does do€s not accept a
sunnah su!!S! which violates some lard. lard' Some pilgrims ignore lgnore
this fact when they thay harm believing men and women in
their zeal to kiss the Black B/acft Stone, Sfone, to hasten in their cir· cir'
cuits around the K'abah, to make salah sa/ah behind bahind the Sta· Sta'

tion of lbraheem,
Ibraheem, to drink from Zamzam,.and and slmllar similar
practices. These practices are ere g!4trt!. ~. To harm any
believer in doing them is haram (prohiblted). (prohibited). How is Is it
possible to carry out a a~ srn4at observance while doing a
haram deed Therefore, avoid hurting each other, and
Allah will grant you His mercy and will increase your
reward.
We would also like to emphasize the following:
(a) It lt is not fitting that a Muslim man performs his Sa/at Satgt
next to, lo, or behind a woman in the Sacred Mosque or at
any other place if il it is at all possible to avoid doing so.
Women should pray behind men.
(b)The doors and entrances to the Sacred Mosque are
for traffic and should not be blocked by people praying
there, even though if it is to join the congregational
prayer that may be in progress.
(c) It lt is not permissible to block the free f flow f of people
around the K'abah by sitting near the K'abah, by praying
near it, or by standing near the @!$,, Black Stone, or al.Hi}r al'Hijr or

at tho the Statlon Station of lbraheem,

The Tha Filth Fllth
Anyone who hates any part of what the Messenger of
Allah (may peace p€ace and blessings of Allah be on him) has
declared to be lawful has nullified his Islam, lslam, even though
he may act in accordance with it. Allah the Most High, Hi9t1
says: "Because "Bscause they disliked what Allah has revealed,
their thsir deeds are brought to nothing."

The Ninth
Anyone who believes that some people are permitted
to deviate from lrom the Shari'ah of Muhammad (peace be on

and He also says: "But those who disbelieve tum turn away

It makes
no difference whether such violations are
committed as a joke, in seriousness or out of fear, except
when they are done under compulsion.
We seek refuge in ln Allah from such deeds as entail entall His Hls

Some pilgrims start collecting pebbles to throw at the
stone Stone Pillars in Mina as soon as they arrive in Muzdalifah
prior to praying the Maghrib and 'Isha 'tsha prayers' prayers. This is not
correct. Nor is the practice that all the pebbles must be
collected at Muzdalifah.
The correct position is that the pebbles can be collected
anywherewithintheboundarieso|al.Haram(theterrttory
within the of al-Haram territory
or precints of Makkah). It lt is known that the Prophet (peace
be on him) did not ask that the pebbles for Jamratul­ JaEISlg't

Some pilgrims pllgrlms wash the pebbles, but this thls Is ls not

Error Related Releted to Throwing Throwlng the Pebbles.
1. 1 . Some pilgrims are under the impression that when whon they thoy
are throwing throrving pebbles at the Stone Pillars, they are actually
throwing them at shayateen (devils); hence hencs they hurl them
with rage and force. However, the throwing of the pebbles
has been merely prescribed as a means maans of remembering
Allah the Most High.
2. Some people throw big stones, shoes or pieces of
wood. This Thls Is ls an excess €xcess in matters of religion rellglon which whlch the
Prophet (peace be upon hIm) hlm) prohibited, prohlblted, what Is ls allowed
Is ls to throw pebbles the size slze of good beans.
3. Crowding Growdlng and fighting flghtlng with wlth others at the Pillars Plllars

to havs have a proxy for thls this act.
Seventh: Errors Related Rdlated to the Farewell Tawal Tawaf (Tawal (Tawa'
·BI-Wlda) .al-Wlda)
1. On the day of their departure, some pilgrims go to
Makkah to perform perlorm their FarewellTawaf before throwing the
pebbles at the tho Pillars.
Then they return to Mina to throw
the pebbles, and depart from Mina for their respective
countries. Thus their final rite becomes that of throwing the
pebbles at the Pillars and not of the tawaf of K'abah. @.This This is
an error as the Prophet (peace be on him) said. said' "No one
should depart without his last visit being to the House
(K'abah).'· g'abal}"
Accordingly, the Farewell Tawaf Tayvat must take place after afler

one has completed all the rites of hajj haij (and @nd before starting
his journey for home). After this tawatone tawaf should not stay in
Makkah except during the time it takes to prepare to depart.
2. After finishing the Farewell Tawa!, Tawaf, some people
walk backwards, facing the K'abah, as they exit from lrom the
Sacred Mosque, under the impression that this is a
veneration of the K'abah. This act is an innovation innbvation (bid'a) (bid'al
in the religion and is without any basis.
3. After finishing flnishing the Farewell Tawaf, some pilgrims

This is also an innovation with no basis in the

Eighth: Errors Related to the vist of the Prophet's Mosque
1. Touching and wiping one's hands on the walls and
iron grilles, tying threads to the gratings, and other acts
of this sort while visiting the grave of the Prophet (may
peace and blessings of Allah be on
him) in order to
Mos-

eceivs receive blessings (barakah) lbarakahl are an innovation !brd"l.
(bid'a).
Blessings come from
following what Allah and His
Messenger (peace be on him) have prescribed, prescribed. and not
from following innovations.
2. Going to the caves of Mount Uhud or to the caves of
Hira or Thaur near Makkah and hanging pieces ol of cloth
or making supplications there have not been prescribed
by Allah. All these are unnecessary hardships, innova-
innovations
in the religion, and are without any basis in the
Shari'ah.
3. Likewise, visiting certain sites under the impression
that these constitute "relics" of the Prophet (peace be
on him), as for lor example the place where his camel sat, the
Well of 'Uthman 'Uthman or the Well of ot the Ring, and gathering soil
from these places to obtain "blessings", are all innovations.
4. Calling upon the dead while visiting the graves at
the Baqi'Cemetery
or the graves of the martyrs of Uhud,
and throwing coins in order to seek the blessings of the

place or of the people buried there, is a grievous error.
Indeed, it is shirk (ascribing partners to Allah the Most
High), as has been pointed out by scholars, scholars. l! I! is ~:,
clear lrom trom
the Book of Allah and the sunnah sunna!-of His Messenger (peace
be on him) that allforms ol of worship are for Allah alone. lt It is
not permissible to call upon, or to otfer offer sacrifice, give vow,
or any other form of ibadah (worship) except for Allah
alone. Allah the Most High, saYs: says:
"and they wgre were commanded nothing except to
worship Allah (only), purifying the religion for Him
alone,"
and He also al$o says,
"Verily, "Verlly, the places of ol worship are for Allah
(alone), so do not calion call anyone else apart from
Allah."
We ask Allah, the Most High, to improve the condition of
the Muslims and to give them understanding of the religion,
and to turn all of us away from lrom errors and deviations.
Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Responding.
