It may be difficult to go to Masjid Namira because of the crowd. In which case
you may pray in your camp with your group. This saves a lot of time.
!
Namira is not part of Arafah, but part of the Masjid is within the limits of Arafah.
17
Arafah (4) - 9 Dhul-Hijjah
!
Follow the Sunnah of the
Prophet (+"" "$,‫" ""! و‬#" "$% &‫( ا‬$"" " " " " " " "))
and join the Dhuhr and
‘Asr prayers regardless of
whether you pray in the
Masjid, in your camp or
any other location in
Arafah.
!
After Salat move to your
place inside the limits of
Arafah, stand facing the
Qiblah, raising your hands
making Du'a and reciting
Talbiyah.
18
Arafah (6) - 9 Dhul-Hijjah
!
The Prophet (+"$,‫"! و‬#"$% &‫( ا‬$"" ))
said: “The best thing that I
and the Prophets have said
on the evening of Arafah is:
ُ‫ ﻝلﻩه‬،٬‫”ﻝلﺍا ﺇإﻝلﻩهَ ﺇإﻝلﺍا ﺍاﻝلﻝلﻩهُ ﻭوَﺡحﺩدَﻩهُ ﻝلﺍا ﺵشَﺭرﻱيﻙكَ ﻝلﻩه‬

“‫ﻕقﺩدِﻱيﺭر‬
"Laa ilaha illallaahu wahdahu laa shareeka
lahu lahul mulk wa lahul hamdu wa huwa
'alaa kulli shay'in qadeer.”
There is no god except Allah, He has no
partner. To Him belongs all sovereignty and
praise, and He is over all things omnipotent.

Leaving Arafah
!
When the sun has set you
leave Arafah for Muzdalifah,
going with calmness and
tranquility, not jostling or
pushing
people;
rather
whenever you find room then
you go faster.
22
Leaving Arafah
!
Make sure you don’t leave until
after sunset.
!
Caution: Some Hajj operators ask
the pilgrims to get in the buses
before sunset to get ready to
To Muzdalifah
leave after sunset. This is
considered as leaving before
sunset, because getting ready to
leave is considered the time of
leaving even though you may not
pass the limits of Arafah until
after sunset.

Pitfalls related to Arafah

!
Fasting the Day of Arafah. The Sunnah for the pilgrim is not
to fast that day.
Leaving Arafah before sunset. Staying until after sunset is a
Wajib (or even a Rukn according to Imam Malik).
Standing outside the limits of Arafah. This invalidates the
Rukn and hence the whole Hajj.
Ascending the Mount of Mercy or facing it during Du’a
thinking that it has some merit.
Wasting time in sleeping or around food or in idle talking or
wandering around for no purpose. The Day of Arafah is
probably the best day of your life, do NOT waste it in anything
other than Du’a and Dhikr of Allah ((-./0‫! و‬1.23,).
24
Muzdalifah (1) – night of 10 Dhul-Hijjah
!
When reaching Muzdalifah
pray Maghrib, then 'Isha,
shortening it (Qasr), and
joining the two prayers.
!
You do not pray anything
between them or after
'Isha. But always pray
Witr.
25
Muzdalifah (2) – night of 10 Dhul-Hijjah
!
You may collect pebbles
here.
!
Then you sleep until Fajr.
!
Pray Fajr at the beginning
of its time.
26
Muzdalifah (3) – night of 10 Dhul-Hijjah
!
It is permissible for
the weak, women
and children to
leave after half of
the
night
has
passed for fear of
the crush of people.
27
Muzdalifah (4) - 10 Dhul-Hijjah
!
Then you come to al-Mash'ar
al-Haram (a small mountain in
Muzdalifah) and climb upon it
and face the Qiblah - then
recite Takbeer, Tahleel, and
make Du'a until the sky
becomes very bright.
!
Then you leave for Mina
before the sun rises, calmly
while reciting Talbiyah.
!
When you come to the river
valley of MuHassir (between
Mina and Muzdalifah) you
hurry if possible.

Delaying the Maghrib and Isha prayers until after the middle
of the night. The Sunnah is to delay the Maghrib and pray it
with Isha in Muzdalifah if one reaches Muzdalifah but before
the middle of the night. Otherwise it should be prayed
anywhere within the time of Isha.
Spending the night outside of the limits of Muzdalifah. Staying
the night within Muzdalifah is a Wajib.
Thinking that the pebbles have to be collected from
Muzdalifah. They can be collected from anywhere.
Leaving Muzdalifah before Fajr for fear of the crowd. The
Prophet (+""$,‫""! و‬#" $% &‫( ا‬$ )) gave permission to women and the
weak only.
Staying in Muzdalifah until after sunrise. The Sunnah is to
leave close to sunrise (right before).

Then you shave off all of
your hair or shorten it.

If you shorten your hair it
has to be from all over the
head, not part of it only

!
Start with the right side of
the head.

!
After shaving, go to your camp in
Mina, take a shower, put on new
clothes and perfume.
!
When you have stoned the Jamrah
and shaved your head everything
becomes lawful for you again except
sexual intercourse, so you may wear
your clothes and use perfume. This
partial freedom is called the small
TaHallul (4;)6‫< ا‬$2=-‫)ا‬.
!
Narrated 'Aisha (.">"?% &‫@ ا‬A‫)ر‬: I used to
scent the Prophet (+"" "$,‫" ""! و‬#" " $% &‫( ا‬$"" " " " " " " " "))
when he wanted to assume Ihram
and also on finishing Ihram before
the Tawaf round the Ka'bah (Tawaf
al-Ifadah) [Bukhari & Muslim].
35
Makkah - 10 Dhul-Hijjah
Tawaf al-Ifadah
!
Then you go off that day to
Makkah and make Tawaf alIfaDah in the same way as in
the Tawaf of arrival, except
t h a t t h e r e i s n o
Idtiba’ (uncovering right
shoulder) or Ramal (bold
walk) in this Tawaf.
!
Pray two Rak'at behind
Maqaam Ibraheem, if
possible, or anywhere in the

Ihram are lifted.
!
Drink from Zamzam.

Return to Mina.
37
Sequence of Manasik on the
th
10 of Dhul-Hijjah
!
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: I saw the Prophet near the
Jamrah and the people were asking him questions. A man
asked, "O Messenger of Allah! I have slaughtered the Hady
(animal) before doing the Ramy." The Prophet replied, "Do the
Ramy (now) and there is no harm." Another person asked, "O
Messenger of Allah! I got my head shaved before slaughtering
the animal." The Prophet replied, "Do the slaughtering (now)
and there is no harm." So on that day, when the Prophet was
asked about anything as regards the ceremonies of hajj
performed before or after its due time his reply was, "Do it
(now) and there is no harm." Narrated by al-Bukhari.
38
Mina - 11, 12, 13 Dhul-Hijjah
!
Stay in Mina for the days
of Tashreeq (‫)ﺃأﻱيّﺍاﻡم ﺍاﻝلﺕتﺵشﺭرﻱيﻕق‬
and their nights.
!
It is preferable to stay in
Mina during these days
than going to Makkah.
This is the Sunnah of the
Prophet (+$,‫! و‬#$% &‫( ا‬$)).
!
Most scholars consider the
staying in Mina as a
Wajib.
!
You may go at night to
make Tawaf and return to
Mina if you wish. It is
reported that the Prophet
(+$,‫! و‬#$% &‫( ا‬$)) did it.
39
Mina - 11, 12, 13 Dhul-Hijjah Ramy
!
Stone the three Jamarat
each with seven pebbles in
each of those days, after
Zawal (when the sun moves
from its zenith, i.e. Dhuhr
time).
!
After the first and the
second Jamarat, move
forward to the side and
stand facing the Qiblah for a
long time making Du'a while
raising your hands.
40
Mina - 12 or 13 Dhul-Hijjah
Leaving Mina
!
You may leave Mina
before sunset if you
wish after you perform
the Ramy on the 12th
of Dhul-Hijjah.
!
Staying to perform the
Ramy on the 13th is
preferable as it is the
Sunnah of the Prophet
(+$,‫! و‬#$% &‫( ا‬$)).
41
Pitfalls of Ramy (pelting)
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
Performing the Ramy during the Days of Tashreeq before
Zawal (midday). The Prophet (+"$,‫"! و‬#"$% &‫( ا‬$"" ")) did the Ramy in
all three days after Zawal. It is permissible to delay it until
after Asr or even to the night if it’s too crowded.
Throwing the pebbles all at once. They have to be thrown one
by one.
Thinking that the pebble has to hit the post or the wall. It is
sufficient to cast the pebble into the circled area.
Putting the pebbles into the circles area without casting. They
have to be pelted.
Casting more than 7 pebbles.
Pushing and shoving.
Throwing objects other than small pebbles, like shoes, sticks,
umbrellas and large rocks.
Making Tawkeel (deputizing) in Ramy without a valid reason
(like illness).
42
Pitfalls related to Mina
!
!
!
Spending the days of Mina and their nights outside of
Mina (like Makkah). Permission is given only to those
with a valid reason (like caring for the sick or someone
who cannot afford staying in Mina). Otherwise a Wajib
is missed.
Some pilgrims go to Makkah to perform Tawaf alWada’ and return to Mina to do the Ramy. Tawaf alWada’ (not the Ramy) should be the last act of the
pilgrim.
Leaving Mina before the 12th of Dhul-Hijjah. Pilgrims
can leave Mina only on the 12th after performing Ramy
of the 3 Jamarat, or on the 13th after Ramy as well.

Masajid to Be Visited
!
The only two Masjids in Madinah to visit with the
intention of performing Salat are the Masjid of the
Prophet (+"$,‫"! و‬#"$% &‫( ا‬$"")) and Masjid Quba (the first Masjid
in Islam).
!
Other mosques and sites in Madinah may be visited for
their historical value.
!
It is neither an obligation nor a condition for Hajj to visit
the Prophet’s mosque or his grave.
!
There are many fabricated ahadith about visiting the
Prophet’s grave. Beware when reading these ahadith and
always verify the reference and level of authenticity.
63
Masjid Quba
!
The prophet (+"$,‫"! و‬#"$% &‫( ا‬$""))
used to go to Masjid Quba
on Saturday morning and
pray two Rak'at there. In a
Hadith, he (+""$,‫""! و‬#" $% &‫( ا‬$ ))
said that doing so is
equivalent to performing a
Umra.
!
Masjid Quba is located
south of Madinah at 2.34
miles (3.75km) from the
Prophet’s Masjid.

Al-Masjid An-Nabawi
!
Salat in the Masjid of the
Prophet (+"" $,‫ ""! و‬#" $% &‫( ا‬$ ))
is better than 1000 Salat
elsewhere, except Masjid
Al-Haram and Aqsa.
!
Salat in the Masjid of the
Prophet is better than
27x1000 = 27,000 Salat
!
Salat in the expansions
of the Masjid has the
same merit as Salat in
the original Masjid.
65
The Rawdah
‫ﺍاﻝلﺭرﻭوﺽضﺓة ﺍاﻝلﺵشﺭرﻱيﻑفﺓة‬
!
Narrated Abu Hurairah, in
the collection of Bukhari,
the Prophet (+""$,‫""! و‬#"$% &‫( ا‬$"" "))
said:
"The space between my
house and my pulpit is one
of the gardens of Paradise
(Rawdah), and my pulpit is
at my Fountain."
!
Rawdah is always full and it
is difficult at times to find a
spot for Salat there.

Repeating the Visit (1)
!
Visit the grave of the Prophet (+""$,‫""! و‬#" $% &‫( ا‬$)) and say
your salam to him. But do not repeat the visit except if
you came from travel, as there is a warning from him
(+"" " $,‫ " ""! و‬#" " $% &‫( ا‬$"" " " " " " " " " " )) not to take his grave as Eid (i.e.
something that you do repeatedly). He said:
”Do not let your homes turn into
graves (i.e. do not stop praying
in them), and do not make my
grave a place of festival. Send
blessings upon me, for your
blessings would reach me
wherever you are.“

the Companions of the Prophet (+$,‫! و‬#$% &‫( ا‬$)) and his
wives are buried, and make Du'a for them. The Prophet
