How to Perform Hajj

                      

As you know that Hajj is the holiest worship for all the Muslims. They come from all over the world to perform the Hajj at the holiest cities Makkah and Madinah. There are three types of Hajj, 


  • Hajj al Tamattu 
  • Hajj al Qiran 
  • Hajj al Ifrad 


But Hajj al Tamattu is the most recommended one and we are here to talk about it. In this Hajj, Muslims is to perform Umrah in the Hajj months and to perform the Hajj in the alike year. The steps of “How to Perform Hajj” voyage is discussed below, 

Wearing the Ihram 

You have two sheets unstitched for men, 1st is to cover the inferior part by covering it with the waist and another sheet is used to throw on the shoulder. You should wear a belt to hold the lowermost sheet. There is no Ihram dress for women but they are not permissible to cover their face and hands in the state of Ihram. 

Tawaf e Kaaba 

When a Pilgrim arrives in the holy city of Makkah, they should make Tawaf around Kaaba at Masjid E Haram. This Tawaf is done by circling the Kaaba counterclockwise direction 7 times. They perform the 2 Rakat prayer when they reach at Maqam e Ibrahim. 

Sa’yee 

It is performed between Safa and Marwah. They say the Takbeer “Allah-u-Akbar” 3 times, raises their hands and their faces are in the direction of Kaaba. This starts by ascending the Safa and heads in the direction of the Marwah. To perform Sayee, total 7 rounds are required. 

Trimming the Hair 

After Sa’yee, the pilgrim finishes their Umrah by shaving his hair and women should remove a finger tips length from their hair. 

Departure to Arafat 

Pilgrim offers the Dhuhr and Asr prayers at Arafat on the 9th day of Zill Hajj and stays here until sunset. Then they offer the nafal for asking the forgiveness from Allah. Pilgrim should make sure that stay inside the boundaries of Arafat. 

Back to Mina 

When the pilgrims reach in Mina, they go to Jamrat where they stone it by 7 gravels worshipping the Allah Allah-u-Akbar at apiece throw. 

Slaughter of Sacrifice 

The pilgrim goes to slaughter his sacrifice after stoning and they should slaughter a sheep, cow, camel, and goat. 

Tawaf al Ifadhah 

This is a fundamental ritual of Hajj. They make Tawaf by visiting Masjid E Haram. After this, the state of Ihram is entirely over. 

Farewell Tawaf 

It’s a final ritual of Hajj and it is another Tawaf around the Kaaba “House of Allah”. These are the steps of Hajj and I think your confusion about “How to Perform Hajj” is now clear.
