A series of exclusionary discussions Hajj and Umrah is a dream journey in the life of every believer. From the two rak’ah nafal prayers to the khana-e-ka’bay salaat-ul-isha of the beloved Prophet,it is like an unfathomable moment of joy in the worldly life. Today, we will discuss the month-long dua, continuous procedures and all the things that a hajji needs to know during the journey of the holy Umrah Hajj.
A series of umrah tours:
- Ihram of Umrah (Obligatory)
Take a bath or aju after cleaning. Before crossing the miqat, wear a white cloth without stitches, wrap another around it, and pray two rak’ahs for the purpose of ihram.
Recite the Talbiyah once or three times with the intention of Umrah. Talbiyya is Labbaika Alahumma Labbaik, Labbaika La Sharika Laka Labbaik, Innal Hamda Wan Ni’mata Laka Wal Mulk, La Sharika Laka. - Tawaf of Umrah (Obligatory)
Do tawaaf with ijtibah with azu. The ihram sheet is wrapped from the lower side of the right armpit and placed on the left shoulder as ‘ijtibah’. Hajar-e-Aswad stood on the right side of him (white marble stone on the floor and green light on the right side). After this, stand up and make a vow of tawaaf. Just touch Rukne Yamani by hand if possible. But avoid kissing. Then come up to Aswad in Hajj and complete the cycle. Start the second cycle by standing next to The Aswad again and kissing the palm of your hand with your hand. In this way, finish the tawaf in seven cycles. You can keep seven grains of tasbih or counting machine in hand. It won’t go wrong seven cycles. - Two rak’ahs of tawaf prayer(wajib)
Pray two rak’ahs behind Maqam-e-Ibrahim or anywhere in the Haram for the purpose of tawaaf (except during makrooh). Remember, this is the time to pray. Staying at Arafat’s ground is one of the obligatory duties of Hajj. 9 Stay in Arafat’s field from noon until sunset.” - Umrah Sa’i (Wajib)
Up a little above The Safa Hill (no longer a hill, marble stone on the floor, air-conditioned) facing the Kaaba Sharif, pray for sa’i, raising your hands like a prayer and saying takbir three times. Then we headed for Marwa and took a slightly faster route between the two green spots and reached Marwa. Climbing the Marwa Hill, facing the Kaaba Sharif, reading the takbir with his hands raised like a prayer, and from there he reached Safa, the second cycle was completed. In this way, go to Marwa in the seventh cycle and finish the saiya and pray. - To be holed (obligatory)
If you are a man, you will shave your head completely following the example of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), but you can also cut the hair of the head. If you are a woman, cut the head of the hair by an inch.
Continuous procedures of Hajj visit:
- Hajj Ihram (Obligatory)
From haram sharif or home, you will reach Mina before 8 zilhaj zohar by tying ihram only for hajj. - Arafat’s stay on the ground (obligatory)
Staying at Arafat’s ground is one of the obligatory duties of Hajj. 9 Stay in Arafat’s field from noon until sunset. On this day, offer Zohr and Asr prayers separately in their tents. Instead of offering Maghrib prayers, head for Muzdalifah. - Stay in Mina (Circumcision)
On the 8th of Zilhaj, offer a total of five prayers from Zohr to 9 Zilhaj Fajr and stay in Mina during this time. - Position in Muzdalifah(Circumcision)
After sunset in Arafah, go to Muzdalifah and perform Maghrib and Isha together in one azaan and one iqamat during Isha. Stay here for the night (it is sunnah) and stay in Muzdalifah for some time before sunrise after 10 zilhaj fajr (it is obligatory). However, this is not essential for the weak (incompetent) and women. Collect 70 pebbles like small gram seeds at night. You will easily find pebbles in Muzdalifah. - Pebble throwing(day 1)
10 From Zilhaj Fajr to sunset, throw seven pebbles(wajib) only to the big jamara (big satan). If it is not possible at this time, you can kill pebbles till the end of this night. It is better and safer for the weak and women to kill pebbles at night. Important instructions are given in Bengali language at the place of killing of pebbles; Listen carefully and follow it. - To sacrifice (wajib)
10 After throwing zilhaj, perform the sacrifice only in a certain way. Only after the sacrifice is the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Shake your head (wajib) to follow the ideal of ‘Wajib’.
Keep in mind that it is important and obligatory to maintain consistency between throwing pebbles, sacrificing, and cutting hair. Otherwise, the hajj should be purified with dum or kaffara. - Tawaf-e-Ziyarat (Obligatory)
On the 12th of Zilhaj, before sunset, tawaf should be offered. Otherwise, after 12 zilhaj, the tawaft will have to be breathed. But if women can’t do it for natural reasons, they’ll do it after they’re sanctified. - Mara of Pebbles(Wajib)
Kankar Mara (Wajib) on the 11th and 12th of Zilhajj. 11-12 Zilhaj time begins at noon. To avoid crowds, hit seven pebbles after the event or at your convenient time. First the small, the medium, then the big devil. Start with a small jamara and end with a large jamara. If you can’t, you can kill until the end. Safe at night for the weak and women. - Leaving Mina
13 If you do not want to stay in Mina, leave Mina before the evening or before dawn after the evening. You have to leave Mina before sunset – it’s not right. However, it is better to leave Mina before sunset. - Farewell Tawaf(Wajib)
Hajj pilgrims coming from Bangladesh have to perform farewell tawaaf (wajib) after Hajj. However, at the end of the hajj, any nafil tawaf becomes a farewell tawaf. There is no harm in women not being able to say goodbye because of menstruation; You don’t have to give a breath or a kaffir either.
