A Brief Guide to the Rites of Hajj and ‘Umrah
INTRODUCTION TO THE BOOK
All praise is due to Allaah and may His peace and blessings be on His final Messenger, his
family and those who follow him in goodness until the Day of Judgement. To Proceed:
This book is transcribed translation of a lecture Shaikh Usaamah Al-Qoosee gave while in
New York, USA. The Shaikh gave this lecture in Masjid Ahlul-Qur’aan wa Sunnah in February
of 2000 before Hajj time. The lecture was given in Arabic and then transcribed and
translated by brother, Muhammd Yaseen afterward.
The talk was very beneficial as the Shaikh mentioned the rites of Hajj and ‘Umrah in a simple
and understandable form, making it apply to the audience he was directing his talk to –
those in the west, particularly those in the United States.
Shaikh Usaamah does not go into detail in this discussion and limits his words to just the
main points, briefly mentioning the evidences from the Qur’aan and the Sunnah. By doing
this, he gives a simple yet informational guide on how to perform the Hajj and ‘Umrah. This
is beneficial for those who will be perfoming Hajj soon and do not have time to research the
issue in depth or for those who just want a quick and brief guide on what to do during Hajj
or ‘Umrah.
The reader will be able to easily follow the rites of Hajj and ‘Umrah, step and by step, as he
goes along this treatise. And information is given as to what should be said during each
point, as well as what should be done according to the Qur’aan and Sunnah.
We ask Allaah to reward the Shaikh for his beneficial talk and that He place it on his Balance
of good deeds on the Day of Judgement. And lastly, we ask that Allaah make this treatise a
guide for those who wish to perform Hajj, and that it cause them to perform it correctly and
properly, such that their Hajj will be accepted.
