All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds, andblessings and peace be upon our Prophet and upon hisfollowers and companions.The honored Ka'bah is called "the Ancient House".It is the focus of Muslim hearts in every corner of theglobe. Toward it are directed their faces and hearts,humbly reverent in prayer to Allah alone, five times a day.Muslims have traveled to the Ancient House from everypart of the earth to perform their religious rites andperform tawaf around the Ka'bah since the time it wasbuilt by Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) to be thefirst house for the worship of Allah - where Allah would beworshipped according to guidance and true vision with apure belief free from superstition and erroneousconcepts. -Allah, the Exalted, said:" Indeed, the first house [of worship] established for mankindwas that at Bakkah [Le., Makkah], - blessed and a guidance forthe worlds. In it are clear signs [as] Maqam Ibrahim. Andwhoever enters it shall be safe. And [due] to Allah from the. people is a pilgrimage (hajj) to the House - for whoever is ableto find thereto a way. But whoever disbelieves [by refusal] then indeed, Allah is free from need of the worlds;"

Residents ofMakkah assume ihram for hajj from Makkah itself,but forUmrah they must go toan area outside the borders ofthe haram sanctuary, the nearest ofwhich isat-Taneem.Those who live inside the meeqat area, for example, inJeddah, Masturah, Badr, Bahrah, Umm Salam or ash-Shara'i,assume ihram from their homes.For them, their place of res idence is the meeqat.

It is obligatory for everyone intending hajj or Umrahto assume ihram before entering the area beyondthese points.

IWhen a person intending Umrah reaches Makkah,IIt is desirable to bathe immediately and then go straightto al-Masjid al-Haram, in which is situated the AncientHouse (the Kabah), for the rites of Umrah . And it isacceptable, also, if he does not bathe.He enters al-Masjid al-Haram with his right foot, saying,Audhu billahil-atheemi wa bi wajihil -kareemi wa sultanihil-qadeemi minash -shaytanir-rajeem...Allahummaaftah lee abwaba rahmatik.(I seek refuge in Allah, the Supreme, and in His noblecountenance and His eternal authority from Satan, theaccursed.. 0 Allah, open for me the gates of Yourmercy.)This supplication (duaa) is what is said upon enteringany masjid . (Narrated by Abu Dawud - saheeh)[ He then heads toward the honored Kabah to begin tawaf. 1It is from the sunnah for a man to bare his right shoulderand arm (idhtib) . This is done by pass ing the upperihram wrappe r under the right armpit and covering theleft shoulder with both ends.IThen he begins the tawaf of seven circuits, Istarting at the Black Stone. It is a sunnah act to kiss theBlackStone if one is able to reach it without harmingpeopleby crowding or pushing. And it is sinful to insult, strike orharm any Muslim. When the area is crowded, it is sufficientto point to the Black Stone from a distance, saying, "Allahu

I K akbar" without stopping as one passes by it.~ It is not permissible to push others' 9 ~ ~ i or harm them in any way

-- "" -.

[ The pilgrim continues to cirEle the Kabah, Iremembering and mentioning Allah, asking His forgiveness and supplicating with any duaa' he wishes orreciting the Qur'an throughout the seven circuits. Heshould not raise his voice reciting particular supplications , as this disturbs others who are doing tawaf.[ ASone passes ar-Rukn al-Yamani (the Yemeni Corner), Ihe touches it with his hand if he can do so easily. Heshould not kiss it or wipe his hand over it as some do,contrary to the sunnah of the Prophet - . When unableto touch it with his hand, he should continue in his tawafwithout pointing to it or saying "Allahu akbar" . It is fromthe sunnah, as one performs tawaf, to recite betweenthe Yemeni Corner and the Black Stone:"Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanatan wa fil- akhiratihasanatan wa qina "adhab an-nar.""Our Lord, give us in this world what is good and in theHereafter what is good and protect us from thepunishment of the Fire."~ 6 \ ~ \ ~ 8 ; ; : - - - - : ~ i B - ~ \ ~ J ~ : ' / ; ' ~ : t I ~ q \

The mahram accompanying a woman must havethe following qualifications: .........If there is nopossibilityof her travelingwith amahram,a woman who is financiallyable should instead senda substitute to performHajj on her behalf.The following applies to women intending Hajj:1. For a voluntary Hajj (not the obligatory one), awoman must have the permission of her husband,because during her absence he looses his right over i" -. - " ' ; ' "her. The husband has the right to prevent her fromperforming a voluntary Hajj. j , . - ~2. A woman may perform hajj and Umrah as a .substitute for either a man or another woman. T i jis by consensus of all the scholars. ..mind I3. If, on her way to Hajj a women begins 1menstruation or gives birth, she should continue and. . ...,..} ...complete her Hajj and do everything other women r pubertydo except tawaf at the Kabah . If it happens at the l . -- ....-...iitime or place of ihram, she still assumes ihrambecause purity is not a condition for that.4. Before ihram she does as a man does - bathing,removing excess hair and clipping the nails. Shec use a scent that is not noticeably strong.Aishah, Mother of the Believers, said,"We used to setoutwith theMessengerofAllah andsmear musk on our foreheads at the time of ihram.When one of us perspired it would run down on herface.The Prophet would see it but not forbidus."(Narrated by Abu Dawud )

The conditions which make Hajj obligatory upon:1a man or woman are:An additional condition for the womanIs that she be accompanied by a mahram. He is aman who can travel with her, like a husband orsomeone she can never marry, such as her father,

_._...Y ....'1 son, brother, milk brother, stepfather, stepson,Islam idaughter's husband, etc.__ , The evidence for this is in thejeport of Ibn 'Abbas,: that he heard the Prophet say, "Let not a man b

2 AndIbnUmar reported thatAllah's M e s s ~ n g e r said,. . ""' I"A woman should not travel three days except with amahram."Ib y T ~ (AI-Bukhari and Muslim)

n ; ! There are many hadiths forbidding a woman tojourney to Hajj or otherwise without a mahram,because she is the weaker sex and may be exposedto problems and difficulties during travel that canonly a man can handle. She may also be targetedby wicked persons, and a mahram providesprotection for her.

(AI-Bukha ri)Instead, she covers her face with something else,like part of her headcover or other garment whennearing non-mahram men. She can also cover herhands with her garment instead of gloves, as theface and hands should ' be concealed fromt unrelated men whether or not she is in ihram.

According to the Sunnah, the woman recites the\ ( \ ( ~ . talbiyah following ihram in a voice audible only toherself. It is disliked for her to raise her voice forfear of causing distraction; thus she should notrec ite the adhan and iqamah aloud either, andwhen drawing attention to something during prayershe claps rather that saying, "Subhan Allah".

(AI-Mughni - 2/330-331)

8. During tawaf the woman should take care to becompletely covered, lower her voice and her gazeand avoid crowding into and pushing men,especially near the Black Stone and YemeniCorner. She should perform tawaf atthe outer edgeof the circle of people, since pushing is haram andnearnessto the Kabah and kissing the Black Stoneare only sunnah acts; one must not commit what isharam in order to fulfill a sunnah . The sunnah forher is to point to the Black Stone when she passesit from a distance.9.Women should walk throughout tawaf and sai. All I(scholars agree that there is no trotting for them .- - ,around the Kabah or between al-safa and alMarwah, nor is there idhtba (baring the shoulder).(AI-Mughni - 3/334)10.

Although visiting the Prophet's Masjid is not amongthe requirements of Hajj, and in fact has noconnection whatsoever to Hajj, it is lawful anddesirable at any time throughout the year. WhenAllah has enabled a person to come to the land of atharamain (the two sacred -mosques), it is arecommended practice for him to go to al-Madinahal-Munawwarah to pray in the Prophet's Masjid andthen offer greetings of salam to the Messenger ofAllah According to hadith, prayer in the Prophet'sMasjid is better than a thousand prayers anywhereelse except al-Masjid al-haram.

When the visitor comes to the Prophet's Masjid:He/she enters with the right foot, saying,[ " B i S f f i ~ ~ wa5=salamu ala-rasulillah."

Otherwise, he should pray in any part of theMasjid. Then he may go to the grave of the Propheb and stand facing it. He greets him by saying: '.."As-salamualayka ayyuhan-nabiyyu wa rahmatullahi wa barakaluh."(Peace be upon you, 0 Prophet and the mercy ofAllah and His blessings.)One may also supplicate with a duaa such as:"Allahumma atihil-wasilata wal-fadhilata wabathhulmaqamal-mahmudalladhi waadtah.

There, the visitor greets them andsupplicates for them.

Allah's Messenger did so andencouraged it. Sahl bin Hunayf, reported that theProphet said,"Anyone who purifies himself in his house, then comesto Quba' Masjid and performs a prayer therein will havethe reward of an Umrah." (Narrated byIbn Majah - saheeh)And Ibn Umar reported that the Prophet used to go to! h Quba' Masjid both riding and walking, and would prayIn It two rakahs.(AI-Bukhari and Muslim)

Then he steps slightly to the right to stand before thegrave of Abu Bakr as-siddiq where he greets him withsalam and supplicates, asking for him Allah's mercy,forgiveness and approval.Then he steps further to the right to stand before thegrave of Umar bin al-Khattab, greeting him with salamand supplicating, asking for him Allah's mercy,forgiveness and approval.Note:It is noticed that some visitors to the Prophet's Masjidcommit errors which are considered among the blameworthy innovations (bidah) that have no basis in thereligion and were never practiced by the sahabah, mayAllah be pleased with them.

pass, whether by land, sea or air, due to the sayingof the Prophet when he specified the meeqats,"They are for those who come from them and otherscoming frombeyondthemwho intendHajjor Umrah."(Narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim)Jeddah, however, is not a meeqatfor those coming in;it is a meeqat for its residents and for whoever hasentered it without the intention of Hajj or Umrah butlaterdecidesto performeitherof them from there.I Question 1. A man who had already performed Hajj made the. . i intention of another Hajj for himself. Then he___--- - ) decided to change his intention and to do it for arelative of his while he was in 'Aratah.

Is it permissible for someone to request another toperform Hajj for him even though he is stil l al ive?If the one who requests it is unable to perform Hajjdue to the weakness of old age or an il lness fromwhich he is not expected to recover, he may do so,as the Prophet said to one who complained tohim that his father could not travel or perform hajj,"Perform Hajj on behalf of your father, and Umrah." And when the Khatham woman said, "0Messenger of Allah, at the time Hajj was madeobligatory, my father was no longer able to doHajj", he said, "Perform Hajj for your father."When a man dies without instructing in a will thatsomeone perform Hajj on his behalf, is hisobligation fulfilled if his son does it for him?When his Muslim son who has already performedhis own Hajj does it for him, the father's obligatoryhajj is thereby fulfilled. Likewise, if any otherMuslim who has performed his own Hajj did it forhim, it would also fulfill the obligation . It isconfirmed in the authentic narrations of al-Bukhariand Muslim that Ibn 'Abbas reported a woman assaying, "0 Messenger of Allah , the obligation toAllah upon His servants was made whenmy fatherwas an old man unable to make Hajj or trave l, soshall I make Hajj for him?" The Prophet is said,"Yes, perform Hajj for your father."

IA I Neither Sydney, Abu Dhabi or Bahrain is a meeqat. nswer . for Hajj orUmrah. Nor is Jeddah a meeqat for those

from outside like you; rather, it is a meeqat for itsresidents. You should assume ihram at the firstmeeqat you pass over by air on your way to Makkah.The Prophet - said upon designating the meeqats,"They are forthose who come from them and those whocome from beyond them who intend Hajj orUmrah.(AI-Bukhari andMuslim)You can ask one of the airline crew to inform you beoreapproaching it and if you make the intention to enter ihram forHajj orUmrah and recite thetalbiyah before the meeqat forfearof crossing itwithout ihram , it is alright. Preparation for ihramby removing hair, bathing and wearing the ihram garments canbedone inany place, even athome before setting out.

There is no problem in the menstruating orpostpartum woman reading books of tafseer, or inreciting the Qur'an aloud without touching the mashaf (which contains only the words of Allah),according to the most correct view of the scholars.However, a person whose impurity is due to maritalintercourse or ejaculation should not recite theQur'an at all, excepting separate verses, until hetakes a bath (ghusl). - It was confirmed about theProphet( that he was not kept from reciting theQur'anby anything exceptjanabah (sexual impurity).
