Your Guide for Haj

 
Islamicsites.com is glad to present this simple and complete guide for performing Haj.We pray to the almighty for all the Pilgrims to safely perform this holy duty and may the Almighty make this Haj a 'Mabroor' 
 

First of all, it should be clear that Hajj is obligatory once in a lifetime. If a person has the means to offer Hajj, he should carry it out as soon as possible. One is advised to not delay offering Hajj under any pretext, keeping in mind the fact that Hajj is one of the pillars of Islam. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Islam is built upon five pillars: testifying that there is no true god except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, performing Prayer, paying the Zakah, making the pilgrimage to the Sacred House (Hajj), and fasting the month of Ramadan.” (Reported by Al-Bukhari)

 
 The types of Hajj are as follows: (Check Also Hajj FAQ)
 
Tamattu`: At or before reaching the miqat, the person enters into Ihram for `Umrah only. He performs `Umrah first, then goes out of Ihram until 8 Dhul-Hijjah, when he enters into Ihram again for Hajj. This is the most common type for people from outside of Saudi Arabia.
 
Qiran: The person enters into Ihram for both `Umrah and Hajj, and does not go out of Ihram until the Day of Sacrifice (`Eid al-Ad-ha) at Mina. In this type of Hajj, one has to stick to the restrictions of Ihram for a longer period of time
 
Ifrad: The person enters into Ihram only for the Hajj and takes it off only on the Day of Sacrifice.
