Rulings Regarding Hajj (Pilgrimage)

Linguistically it is an intention to do something, which is honored. In Shariah, it is the
visiting of specified places at specified times with specified actions. It is another Fard
pillar of Islam. Whoever disputes its being Fard, he is out of the pale of Islam.
Upon Whom Hajj Is Fard
Hajj is Fard upon free, mature, intelligent, healthy Muslims on condition that the way is
safe and they have means of travel, provision and transport, whether through possession
or rental. Another condition is that this wealth be in excess of his residence, other
necessities and expenses on his family until his return.
Faraid In Hajj

There are three Faraid in Hajj:

1) Ihram
2) Wuquf (staying) at ‘Arafat
3) Tawafuz Ziyarah

Wajibat Of Hajj

There are 11 Wajibat of Hajj as follows:

1) Wuquf of Muzdalifah after dawn on the Day of Nahr
2) Sa’y between as-Safa and al-Marwa
3) Pelting the Jimar
4) Tawafus Sadr (when first coming) for one from Afaq (outside the Haram and
Hill)
5) Shaving or shortening the hair
6) Extending the Wuquf of Arafat until sunset
7) For one performing Qiran (Qarin) or Tamattu’ (Mutamatti) to slaughter a Hady
8) A Mufrid (one performing Ifrad) should observe the sequence of pelting and then
shaving. The Qarin and Mutamatti should observe the sequence between pelting
then slaughter then shaving
9) To perform Tawafuz Ziyarah during the days of Nahr
10) Shaving or shortening the hair within the Haram
11) And that they be in the days of Nahr
