Allah, Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad! O Allah! Forgive my sins and open Your doors of mercy for<br />

me)."<br />

5. To raise one's hands on first sight of the Ka'bah and say: "Allahumma zid hadhal bayti tashrifan wa ta 'zeeman wa<br />

takriman wa muhabatan wa zid min sharfihi wa karamihi mimman hajjahu au 'itamarahu tashrifan wa takriman wa<br />

ta'zeeman wa birran (O Allah! increase this House's honor, dignity, respect and grant all those who come to it for Hajj<br />

or 'Umrah honor, dignity, respect and righteousness.)" And say, "Allahumma antas salam, wa minkas salam,<br />

fahayyina rabbana bis-salam (O Allah! You are the Peace, from You is the Peace. O Allah! Greet us with the Peace)."<br />

6. Then head to the Black Stone and kiss it quietly. If kissing is not possible, then one may touch it with a hand and kiss<br />

the hand, and if even this is not possible then one may just point to it with a hand.<br />

7. Then begin tawaf (circumambulation) starting from the Black Stone.<br />

8. One does not have to perform salutation prayer to the Sacred Mosque. because tawafof Ka'bah is its salutation. If,<br />

however, it is time for the prescribed daily prayers, then one must offer them with the congregation. The Prophet<br />

(peace be upon him) said, "When a prescribed prayer is in progress then no other prayer except the prescribed prayer<br />

is valid." Similarly, if one is afraid to miss a prescribed prayer then one must offer it first before anything else.<br />

Fiqh 5.79<br />

Passing in Front of Worshippers in the Sacred Mosque<br />

It is permissible to offer prayer in the Sacred Mosque while the people, male and female, pass in front of the<br />

worshipper. There is no harm in it, and it is one of the special characteristics of the Sacred Mosque. Kathir<br />

bin Kathir bin Al-Mutalib bin Wida'ah reported from some of his family members and from his grandfather<br />

that he said: "I saw the Prophet (peace be upon him) offering prayer in the Sacred Mosque in the area<br />

adjacent to Bani Sahm while people passed in front of him but he did not place any sutrah (protection) in<br />

front of him." Suffiyan bin 'Uyainah said, "There was no partition between him and the Ka'bah." (Reported<br />

by Abu Daw ud Nasa+i, and Ibn Majah)<br />

Fiqh 2.70a<br />

Three most excellent mosques<br />

Jabir reports that the Messenger of Allah said: "Prayer in the inviolable mosque [in Makkah] is like 100,000 prayers<br />

[elsewhere]. And prayers in my mosque [in Medinah] is like one thousand prayers [elsewhere]. And a prayer in Bait al-Maqdis<br />

[in Jerusalem] is like five hundred prayers [elsewhere]. This is related by alBaihaqi, and as-Sayuti says it is hasan.<br />

Ahmad records that the Messenger of Allah said: "Offering salah in my mosque is better than one thousand prayers<br />

elsewhere, save for those offered in the inviolable mosque. And salah in the inviolable mosque is better than salah in my<br />

mosque by one hundred prayers."<br />

The Prophet said: "One should not undertake a journey, save to three mosques: the inviolable mosque [in Makkah], my<br />

mosque here [in Medinah], and Masjid al-Aqsa [in Jerusalem]." This is related by the group.<br />

Fiqh-us-Sunnah<br />

Fiqh 5.63a<br />

Sacred Precincts of Madinah (Haram Madinah)<br />

In the Sacred Precincts of Madinah killing a game and cutting its trees is prohibited as it is in the case of<br />

Haram Makkah…..<br />

Fiqh-us-Sunnah<br />

Fiqh 5.72<br />

Kinds of Tawaf<br />

1. Tawafal Qudum (Arrival Circumambulation).<br />

2. Tawafal Ifada (Return from Mina Circumambulation).<br />

3. Tawafal Wida' (Farewell Circumambulation). We will deal with it separately at its place.<br />

4. Tawafat Tatawwu' (Supererogatory Circumambulation).<br />

The pilgrim should make full use of his stay at Makkah performing as much supererogatory tauaf and prayers in the Sacred<br />

Mosque as possible. A prayer in it is better than a hundred thousand prayers in any other mosque. In a supererogatory tawaf<br />

one may not uncover one's shoulder or jog. It is sunnah to perform a tawaf of Ka'bah as a salutation to the Sacred Mosque<br />

upon entering it, unlike other mosques where on entering them a two rakah prayer is offered as a salutation to the mosque.<br />
