from Makkaĥ are to be arranged by your Mu’allim, the cost of which
has already been included in your fare. In addition, serving you with

and with lunch in ‘Arafāt, is also the responsibility of the Mu’allim.
Twenty eight (28) Madanī pearls regarding travelling
1. When you are about to depart, seek forgiveness from your family
members, friends and associates regarding the rights which you
may have violated. It becomes incumbent upon the people from
whom forgiveness is sought to forgive whole-heartedly.
It is stated in a Ḥadīš that whomsoever is approached for
forgiveness by an Islamic brother, it becomes Wājib for that
person to forgive him, otherwise he will be deprived of water
from the pond of Kawšar. (Fatāwā Razawiyyaĥ, vol. 10, pp. 627)
2. If you possess belongings of others or owe debt to someone,
return it. If you have unjustly seized someone’s estate (i.e.
property, possession, money etc.), return it or get it waived. If
you cannot trace the owner, donate an equivalent amount in
charity.
3. Fulfil the acts of worship which are still outstanding such as
Ṣalāĥ, fasts of Ramadan, Zakāĥ etc. Repent of the sin of delaying
them. The sole purpose of this journey must be to please
Almighty Allah and His Beloved Prophet ٖ
.
Refrain from ostentation and arrogance.
4. Islamic sister should not travel without husband or a trustworthy
Maḥram (one with whom marriage is Ḥarām forever) otherwise,
sin will be recorded for every step till her return. (Baĥār-e-Sharī’at,
vol. 1, pp. 1051) (This ruling applies not only to Hajj-pilgrimage
but also to every journey.)
