Rafiq-ul-Haramayn 4
12. To bring a shroud to one’s country after it was soaked in Zam
Zam water is better as the winds of Makkaĥ and Madīnaĥ will
also kiss the shroud. When squeezing the shroud, ensure that
not even a single drop of water goes into the drain. Squeeze the
water onto some plant etc. (One can also sprinkle Zam Zam
water over the shroud in his country.)
13. When performing Ṭawāf or Sa’ī, the pages of Hajj books are
sometimes found lying on the ground. Pick them up, if possible.
However, ensure that your back or chest should not face the
Ka’baĥ during the Ṭawāf. Do not pick up someone’s money or
wallet lying on the ground. (Some years ago, a Ḥājī from Pakistan
found someone’ money lying on the ground, so he picked it up
to return it to its owner but the owner suspected him and
handed him over to the police. Eventually, he was imprisoned
for a long time.)
14. It is good to remain barefooted in Ḥijāz Muqaddas but wear
slippers before entering toilets and when there is mud on the
way. Do not enter any Masjid with dirty feet. Take special care
before you enter both the sacred Masājid. Wear slippers if you
cannot maintain cleanliness.
15. Avoid wearing used slippers when making Wuḍū at a washbasin
because water is often spread over the floor near the washbasin.
During Wuḍū, drops of water will fall on the floor causing the
splashes of water to come onto your clothes etc. If the slippers
are unclean, there is the risk of unclean splashes coming onto
clothes. (Keep it in mind that slippers, water or anything else
will be considered clean unless it is known for sure that they
are unclean.)
16. Usually the flow of water is high in the toilets of Minā so open
the tap slowly to remain safe from the splashes of water.
