Stone. The only reason to kiss the Black Stone is that our beloved
Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) kissed it]
Al-Hajj Al-Mabrûr [A Hajj that is accepted by Allah because of its
perfection in both inward intention and outward observance of the
traditions of the Messenger Muhammad, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace]
Hajjul-Ifrâd [Single form of Hajj: Performing Hajj without making
‘Umrah]
Hajjul-Qirân [Combined form of Hajj: Performing ‘Umrah and Hajj
with one Ihrâm during the months of Hajj i.e., the 10th month, the
11th month and the first ten days of the 12th month of the Islamic
calendar]
Hajjul-Tamatt‘u [Interrupted form of Hajj: Performing ‘Umrah
followed by Hajj during the months of Hajj, but it involves ending the
state of Ihrâm for ‘Umrah and then reassuming it for Hajj]
Hatîm [The area adjacent to the Ka`bah on its west side, enclosed
by a low semi-circular wall. Tradition has it that Hajar (wife of
Prophet Ibrâhîm [peace and blessings be upon him]) is buried in this
enclosure. It is highly recommended that the pilgrim offer Sunnah
Prayer and supplications to Allah in this area. However, this is not a
part of the official rites of Hajj]
Ihrâm [The sacred state of practicing great self-denial into which a
Muslim must enter before performing Hajj or ‘Umrah, during which
certain actions are forbidden (like having conjugal relations,
shaving, cutting one’s nails, and several other actions) nor commit
sin, nor dispute unjustly. In this sacred state the dress of Muslim
pilgrims consists of two lengths of white cotton, one wrapped
around the loins, the other thrown over the left shoulder. Ihrâm
clothes for women should fully cover the body except the face,
hands and feet]
