Hajj and Umrah

THE FIVE DAYS OF *AJJ
*AJJ QIR¬N AND *AJJ IFR¬D
One will already be wearing the I#r\m for *ajj. On the morning of the
8th Dhul *ijjah, after sunrise, one will leave for Min\’.
*AJJ TAMATTU’
One must make sure one enters the state of I#r\m anytime before 8th
Dhul-*ijjah with the intention of performing *ajj. (See section on
I#r\m in `Umrah)
Note: This I#r\m can be worn in one’s hotel room - one does not need
to go to Masjid `¬’ishah to enter into this I#r\m. It is Musta#abb to
make the intention of I#r\m in al-Masjid al-*aram.
Before the morning of 8th Dhul *ijjah, proceed to al-Masjid al-*aram
and perform two rak`ahs with the head covered, intending for *ajj,
with the recitation of Talbiyah.
There is no ^aw\f al-Qud[m, as the `Umrah has served this purpose.
Sa`y of *ajj, although preferred after ^aw\f az-Ziy\rah, may be
performed at this point. But because Sa`y must be with a ^aw\f, one
will need to perform a Nafl ^aw\f with this Sa`y.
THE FIRST DAY: 8TH DHUL *IJJAH
YAWM AT-TARWIYAH (THE DAY OF REFLECTION)
Prior to leaving for Min\ (approximately 3.5 miles), one should have
made a note of the time of all the %al\h in Makkah as they should be
performed at the same time throughout the *ajj.
