Hajj and Umrah

The intention for I#r\m of Ifr\d should be that one is performing only
*ajj. One should make sure one utters the Talbiyah at the time when
one enters I#r\m.
2 ^AW¬F AL-QUD$M
One will perform ^aw\f before the *ajj starts. This ^aw\f will be the
^awaf al-Qud[m which is Sunnah.
Sa`y of *ajj can be performed after this ^aw\f or later after the Taw\f
az-Ziy\rah. In *ajj Ifr\d, it is preferable after ^aw\f az-Ziy\rah. If,
however one is early to arrive in Makkah it may be wise to perform it at
this time if one has a genuine concern with the crowds.
Even though this may appear as an `Umrah, it is part of *ajj, which
means one must not shave or trim the hair, or assume that one is no
longer in I#r\m after this.
`Umrah cannot be performed until after the 13th Dhul-*ijjah.
Now one will remain in Makkah in the state of I#r\m and will not
adopt another I#r\m for *ajj.
Following this, the guidelines for “the five days of *ajj” apply.
Note: Na#r is Musta#abb and so too is the keeping of the order of
Ram|, Na#r and *alq/Qa]r.
