Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Universe. May the Peace and
Blessings of Allah be upon Muhammad, the last of the prophets
and messengers, and upon his family and esteemed companions.
Hajj1
is one of the best forms of worship and is one of the most
sublime deeds, for it is one of the pillars of Islam with which Al-
lah sent Muhammad (). A servant’s religion is incomplete with-
out it.
Worship is only acceptable if it meets the following two criteria:
1. One devotes it to Allah alone, desiring the Hereafter.2
It cannot
be done with the intention of being seen by others3
or for worldly
gain.
2. One follows the Prophet’s () example, in words and deeds.
This cannot be accomplished except through knowledge of the
Sunnah.4
There are three forms of Hajj:
1) Tamattu’
2) Ifraad
3) Qiraan
During the months of Hajj, a pilgrim wears the Ihraam6
making
only. He proceeds to Makkah and
makes Tawaaf and Sa’yi for ‘Umrah. He then shaves or clips his
hair. On the day of Tarwiyah, which is the eighth of Dhul-Hijjah,
he wears his Ihraam again but this time making the intention for
Hajj only, and then he carries out all of its requirements.
