Advantages of Hajj

Hajj is important both for this world and the next. A sincerely and sincerely performed Hajj cleanses a Muslim from sins, raises him to a higher level before Allah, and also contributes to his finding Paradise and achieving moral maturity. A person who has the appropriate capabilities must perform this ibadat, which has great merits, at least once in his life.

It is enough to cite the sacred hadith: “Whoever performs the Hajj only for the sake of Allah, while avoiding bad speeches and actions and not falling into sin (except for the rights of the slaves of Allah), he will return (from the Hajj) as pure from sins as his mother gave birth to” ( 3).

At the same time, it is appropriate to cite a few more hadiths about the virtues of Hajj. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The reward for the Hajj accepted (by Allah) is nothing other than Paradise. Each subsequent Umrah erases the sins committed after the previous Umrah” (4). When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was asked: “What is the best deed?”, he replied: “Belief (iman) in Allah and in His Messenger.” When asked: “And after that?”, he answered: “Jihad in the path of Allah.” When asked: “And after?”, he answered: “Hajj accepted (by Allah)” (5). People who have performed the Hajj have a high degree before Allah. Therefore, Allah Almighty does not reject their dua. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Those who perform Hajj and Umrah are guests of Allah. If they make dua, He will accept it. If they ask to forgive them, He will forgive” (6). Another hadith related to our topic says: “Perform Hajj and Umrah immediately after each other. Because they destroy poverty and sins, just as a stream of air destroys rust from iron, plaque from gold and silver.” In another hadith, Hajj and Umrah are called jihad of old people, small children, weak people and women, i.e. those who cannot commit jihad by going on a campaign (8). This also shows us how important the Ibadah is for the Hajj. The day on which Allah most forgives His slaves is the day of Arafat (9). When pilgrims with disheveled hair, dusty feet, raising their hands, pray to Allah, He will certainly forgive them. Therefore, such an important ibadah as Hajj must be performed with all care and one must receive one’s share of its merits.

Hidden meaning of Hajj

In everything that Allah has prescribed, there is no doubt that there are many hidden meanings (hikmat) that bring benefits both in this world and in the Hereafter. According to this amazing truth, the Hajj also contains many hidden meanings.

Some of them can be listed in this order:

• The nature of every person requires that he show slavish service to Allah Almighty. Hajj is an ibadat that gives the slave the opportunity to show his weakness in the most obvious form before Allah Almighty, express his service to Him and thank him for the benefits He has given. Because the pilgrim, having renounced all worldly attachments, such as property, wealth, position, rank, is directed towards Allah. He expresses his weakness and dependence before the Possessor of immeasurable strength and power. This gives him the opportunity to experience the taste of servile service to Allah.
• The Hajj, bringing together millions of Muslims, regardless of their skin color, language, race, country of residence, culture, united by one goal, one aspiration, creates a living sense of equality and brotherhood. This is not demagogy, not an empty idea. All pilgrims - rich and poor, strong and weak, wearing the same clothes, enduring the same hardships, overcoming the same difficulties, moving in the same conditions, receive an effective lesson in equality and brotherhood. The Hajj forces the rich man, who controls millions, and the poor man, who can hardly provide himself with food, to stand together on Mount Arafat, raising their hands, wearing the same clothes, and circumambulate the Kaaba side by side. Hajj teaches people not to be proud of their place, position, wealth, teaches them to be united in a sense of brotherly affection and teaches them not to forget about the Day of Judgment. Seeing the holy land where the religion of Islam was born and from where it spread, where our venerable Prophet and his companions fought, experiencing thousands of difficulties, where many Prophets lived, starting with the venerable Adam, strengthens the religious feelings of believers, their attachment to Islam.
• Hajj helps thousands of Muslims who come from all parts of the world, having different skin color, language, country of residence and culture, but united by one goal, one aspiration, communicate with each other and get to know each other. This helps Muslims establish contacts with each other, learn about each other's problems and even strengthen trade ties.
• Committing minor hajj, a Muslim expresses gratitude to Allah Almighty for the blessings of this world given by Him, such as health, opportunities, prosperity, and wealth. Muslims who perform Hajj develop such high moral qualities as patience and endurance. They learn to be humble in trials and not to give in to difficulties. They also learn, when moving in sync with a huge crowd, to make the same movements with other people; learn mutual assistance, solidarity and obedience to certain rules. Hajj creates lifelong memories for Muslims. These memories help believers not to lose their fortitude (istikama) after the Hajj.
• Hajj in the life of a Muslim becomes like a starting point. A believer who raised his hands on the day of Arafat, stood in a place reminiscent of the Day of Judgment, prayed for forgiveness and got rid of his sins, is unlikely to want to easily return to the sinful acts he committed before. Hajj thus purifies sinful Muslims and improves their character.
• Hajj helps to establish wonderful relationships between Muslims. Muslims learn each other's good habits. Their very way of thinking is changing for the better. Such ridiculous ideas that plunge people into hostility among themselves, such as racism, go away on their own.

In a word, Hajj is fraught with many hidden meanings that are not found in other ibadats. It is useful in moral, social, economic, and psychological aspects. Above we have listed just some of its advantages.

2) Must be an adult;
3) Must be a Muslim;
4) Must be free;
5) Must know that Hajj is fard. (This condition applies to those people who became Muslims while living in countries where Islam is not the dominant religion. For Muslims who live in Islamic countries, ignorance of the obligation (fard) of Hajj is not an excuse for leaving it.)
6) Must have sufficient material well-being to satisfy life’s needs, in addition to the minimum, for himself and his family members whom he is obliged to support.
7) In order to travel in a manner appropriate to his position, he must have enough money for vehicles and travel expenses.

Types of Hajj
There are three types of Hajj:
1. Hajj Ifrad: Hajj performed only with the intention of Hajj.
2. Hajj Tamattu': first a person determines the intention to perform Umrah (in certain places called miqat, arriving from his country, a person with the intention of performing Umrah enters the state of ihram, then leaves this state and later, from Mecca, with the intention of performing Hajj again enters the state of ihram).

KAABA
The Kaaba, a visit to which is the purpose of the Hajj, towards which we go during every prayer, is the first temple built on earth.
The Kaaba, a visit to which is the purpose of the Hajj, towards which we go during every prayer, is the first temple built on earth. It was erected for people as a source of divine grace and truth for the worlds. By order of Allah Almighty, it was rebuilt in Mecca by Prophet Ibrahim and his son Ismail. (eleven). The Kaaba is in the center of a mosque called the Masjid-i Haram (Forbidden Mosque). The northeastern wall of the Kaaba has a length of 12.63 m, the northwestern one is 11.03 m, the southwestern one is 13.10 m, and the southeastern one is 11.22 m. The height of the Kaaba is 13m. Thus, the Kaaba is a stone building occupying an area of ​​145 m2. The Kaaba is covered with a black veil. Every year, at the time of Hajj, her veil is replaced with a new one. The corners of the Kaaba roughly point to the four cardinal directions. Each corner has its own name. The eastern corner is called “Hajar-i Aswad” (Black Stone) or “Sharqi” (Eastern), the northern corner is “Iraqi” (Iraqi), the western corner is “Shami” (Syrian) and the southern corner is “Yamani” (Yemenite).
Figure 1. Parameters of the Kaaba and its angles
“Hajar-i Aswad” is located in the eastern corner of the Kaaba at a height of 1.5 m from the ground. "Hajar-i Aswad" means "black stone". It was established by the Prophet Ibrahim, peace be upon him, to mark the corner from which the circumambulation (tawaf) of the Kaaba begins. Initially, this stone had a diameter of 18-19 cm, but, as a result of various accidents, it was split several times. Now it consists of seven fragments, encased in a silver frame for safekeeping. It is installed, as originally, in the eastern corner of the Kaaba.
3.5m. The gap from the door of the Kaaba to Hajar-i Aswad is called “Multazam”. Opposite the northwestern wall of the Kaaba (between the corners of Iraqi and Shami) there is a semicircular wall 1.25 m high. This wall is called "Hatim". Bypass (The Kaaba has a gold-plated door installed in its north-eastern wall (between the corners of Hajar-i Aswad and Iraqi). The door is closer to the corner of Hajar-i Aswad and is located at a height of 1.97m from the ground. The door measures 1. 8 tawaf) Kaaba should be performed outside this wall. The free space remaining between the Kaaba and this wall is called “Hijr-i Kaaba”, “Hijr-i Ismail” or “Khatira”. During this interval, you can turn to the Kaaba and perform namaz and dua. But you cannot perform namaz by turning towards “Khatira”, as towards the Kaaba. At the top, in the middle of the wall towards “Hatira”, there is a gold gutter. This trench is called “Mizab-i Kaaba”, but popularly it is simply called the “Golden Trench”.

Masjid Haram (Forbidden Mosque)
Masjid Haram is a huge mosque with the Kaaba in the center. It is also called "Haram-e Sharif".
Masjid Haram is a huge mosque with the Kaaba in the center. It is also called "Haram-e Sharif". During the time of our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), Masjid Haram was a small area around the Kaaba. During the reign of Caliph Umar it was expanded and surrounded by a wall. Later, Masjid Haram was expanded many times until it reached its present size. Today, Masjid Haram covers a huge area where hundreds of thousands of people can pray at the same time.
Figure 1. Modern Masjid Haram
Inside the Masjid Haram, in addition to the Kaaba, there are such shrines as “Makam-i Ibrahim” (The Standing Place of the Prophet Ibrahim) and the Zamzam spring.
"Maqam-i Ibrahim" is the place where there is a stone that, according to popular belief, Prophet Ibrahim used for scaffolding during the construction of the Kaaba, and also stood on it to call people to perform the Hajj. This place is located opposite the doors of the Kaaba, close to it.
“Zamzam” is the name of the spring that was granted by Allah to the wife of the Prophet Ibrahim Hajar and her son Ismail. This source appeared like this: Prophet Ibrahim, by order of Allah, left his wife Hajar and his son Ismail (he was still an infant), under a large tree that stood on the site of the current location of the Zamzam spring. At that time, the Kaaba had not yet been erected, and the city of Mecca had not yet been built. There were no people, no water, no signs of life around. Hajar soon ran out of water and food and found herself in a desperate situation. Hoping to meet someone or find at least a few sips of water, she headed first to Safa Hill, then to Marwa Hill. So she went around them seven times. (12) When Hajar was heading to Marwa for the last time, in the direction where she left her son, she heard some noise. Arriving there, Hajar saw that the angel Gabriel had brought the spring of Zamzam out of the ground. The water of the Zamzam spring, which is the best on earth, is currently obtained from a well located east of the Kaaba, 20 meters away, close to Maqam-i Ibrahim. This well is located underground. You can go down to the well via two stairs, one of which is for women, the other for men. You can drink Zamzam water, and also perform small (taharat) and large (ghusul) ablutions with it. The Messenger of Allah said about this water: “With whatever intention (niyat) you drink Zamzam, such an intention will be accepted” (13). Therefore, when drinking Zamzam water, it is important to express your desire and intention. When drinking Zamzam, say the following dua: “Oh my Allah! I ask you for useful knowledge, abundant food and healing from all diseases” (13). Masjid Haram is superior to all the mosques on earth put together. The prayers performed in it are many times superior to the prayers performed in other mosques. (14)

Preparing for Hajj
Hajj, which should be performed at least once in a lifetime, is the most favorable opportunity to cleanse oneself from sins.
Hajj, which should be performed at least once in a lifetime, is the most favorable opportunity to cleanse oneself from sins. To make the most of this opportunity, you need to be well prepared for the Hajj, both in soul and body. The main thing in the soul’s readiness for the Hajj is sincerity. For sincerity is the essence of all actions. The favor (robe) of Allah is gained by sincerity. Although, having performed the Hajj without sincere intention, a person is considered to have fulfilled his duty, such a Hajj does not bring all the benefits that it could bring. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Verily, Allah accepts only those deeds that are done only for His sake and only to gain His favor (riza).” (15) Therefore, a Muslim who decides to perform the Hajj must strictly avoid hypocrisy (riya), the desire to gain honor in a certain circle of people, the thirst for praise, etc. He must turn his whole being towards obtaining the favor (riza) of Allah. A Muslim preparing for the Hajj must decide within himself to get rid of those habits of his that are contrary to Islam and never return to them. For if a person does not get rid of the forbidden (haram) even with this ibadat, which makes a person as pure from sins as on the day when his mother gave birth to him, then it will be difficult for him to get rid of the forbidden in any other way. Therefore, those preparing for the Hajj must give their life a new direction and must prepare themselves to get rid of habits that are contrary to Islam. Allah will certainly help a person who has such a desire. Those preparing for the Hajj must visit their relatives, neighbors, acquaintances and friends before setting out. If among them there are those whose rights he trampled, he must compensate them. He must reconcile with those who are offended by him. In a word, those preparing for the Hajj should resolve those issues that in the holy land could distract his thoughts in an unnecessary direction and cause him anxiety. Thus, a person, preparing for the Hajj, must, on the one hand, spiritually prepare for the Hajj, on the other hand, in order to fulfill this ibadah flawlessly, he must try to obtain the knowledge necessary for the Hajj.

Hajj Road
As you know, people now travel to Saudi Arabia by plane.
As you know, people now travel to Saudi Arabia by plane. The flight schedule is designed in such a way that some pilgrims first go to Medina, and others to Mecca. Planes take off from different cities of our country. Most planes carrying pilgrims arrive at Jeddah airport. Some planes arrive at Medina airport. But there are few such planes and they all belong to Saudi Arabian airlines. The Hajj journey is quite long and is associated with its own difficulties. Various measures are being taken to ensure that our pilgrims, who travel to Saudi Arabia to perform their sacred duty of Hajj, make this journey in a state far from selfish interests and in safe conditions. But so that our pilgrims do not experience difficulties during this journey, there are some circumstances to which they must pay the closest attention. They can be listed in the following order: The pilgrim should never forget that Hajj, first of all, is not a trade or tourist journey, but a journey of service to Allah. Every step on this path, every difficulty, on the one hand, brings him reward (sawab), on the other, destroys his sins. The pilgrim must make every possible effort to complete this sacred journey in the best possible way. Once you join your group, you must follow the instructions and warnings of the group leader and act in accordance with your religious duties. This is very important for maintaining order and discipline in the group. You must dress according to regulations. A correctly completed health card and pilgrim's identification card should be hung around your neck. They must be worn throughout the Hajj. People taking medications should receive a list of the medications they are bringing with them. This list should always be with them. Pilgrims must also carry a card indicating that they have been vaccinated against meningitis. If a person has any specific circumstances that require special attention, he should not hesitate to inform the group organizers about them. And you should even inform your close comrades about them. Tags should be attached to items indicating their owner. When items are placed on or off the bus, each person must bring or remove only their own items. You should always check whether things are loaded on the bus or not. At airports, cautions and instructions from responsible personnel should be observed. Baggage must be checked in only to the appropriate places and baggage claim tokens must be kept. You don’t have to agree to deliver someone else’s luggage to Saudi Arabia that you don’t know what’s inside. When boarding a plane, as well as when going through customs control at the airports of Jeddah or Medina, the pilgrim must have a passport in hand. Therefore, the pilgrim must carefully guard his passport. To be able to easily remove it if necessary, the passport should be placed in a special bag. This should also be taken care of when returning. During customs control, you should not call yourself the owner of things that do not belong to you. In short, Hajj, which is a journey of serving Allah, has its own specific difficulties. Therefore, you need to be patient, try not to offend or offend anyone, and avoid actions and movements that can burden your conscience. Without forgetting for a moment that he is in a group, among other people, the pilgrim must maintain good relations with them and observe the rules of decency.

Namaz on the road
A person who leaves his place of permanent residence in order to visit some place over a distance that can be considered a journey shortens his prayers. Instead of four rakats of obligatory (fard) prayers, he performs only two. If he intends to stay at the place of his visit for less than 15 days, then again, instead of four rakats of obligatory (fard) prayers, he performs only two. If he intends to stay in the place of his visit for more than 15 days, then he performs prayers in full, without shortening them. Therefore, those pilgrims who stayed in Mecca continuously for 15 days or more before visiting Arafat are not considered travelers. Therefore, even in Mecca before going to Arafat, even in Arafat, in Mina and Muzdalifah, even in Mecca, after returning from Arafat, they perform all prayers in full, without shortening them. Those pilgrims who stayed in Mecca for less than 15 days before going to Arafat are considered travelers. Consequently, even in Mecca before going to Arafat, even in Arafat, in Mina and Muzdalifa, they perform namaz in a shortened form. Pilgrims who, after returning from Arafat, remain in Mecca for 15 days or more, perform prayers in full during this time. Since in practice a visit to Medina takes less than 15 days, pilgrims perform shortened prayers in Medina. If pilgrims, being travelers, perform prayer behind an imam who is not a traveler, then they must, like the imam, perform prayer in full.

Types of Hajj
Hajj is performed only in certain months. These months are called the months of Hajj.
Hajj is performed only in certain months. These months are called the months of Hajj. According to the Hijri calendar, these are the months of Shawwal, Zulqaada and the first ten days of the month of Zulhijja. During these months, Hajj can be performed both without Umrah (lesser Hajj) and with Umrah. There are three types of Hajj, depending on whether they are performed with or without Umrah. They are as follows:
1. Hajj Ifrad.
2. Hajj tamattu’.
3. Hajj qiran.
Hajj Ifrad
Hajj Ifrad is a Hajj performed without Umrah. In this case, during the months of Hajj, without performing Umrah before the Hajj, with the intention of performing the Hajj, they enter the state of Ihram and perform only the Hajj.
Hajj Tamattu’
In this case, during the months of Hajj of one year, they first perform Umrah and leave the state of Ihram. Then, with the intention of Hajj, they again enter this state of ihram and perform Hajj. Pilgrims performing Hajj Tamattu', in designated places - miqat or earlier, enter the state of ihram with the intention of performing Umrah. Having completed Umrah, they leave ihram. Later, when the time approaches, they enter ihram with the intention of performing the hajj itself. Having completed the Hajj, pilgrims leave ihram.
Hajj qiran
In this case, in the months of Hajj of one year, Umrah and Hajj are performed together, in one ihram. Those who perform hajj qiran in designated places - miqat or earlier, enter the state of ihram with the intention of performing umrah and hajj together. Having performed Umrah, they do not leave ihram; they perform Hajj in the same ihram. Only after this do they leave ihram. Pilgrims performing Hajj Qiran and Tamattu' must (wajib) perform sacrifices of gratitude (shukr). Pilgrims performing Hajj Ifrad should not do this.

Performing Hajj
Pilgrims from our country, taking into account that a long stay in different climatic zones in ihram gives rise to certain difficulties, usually prefer to perform Hajj Tamattu’.
Pilgrims from our country, taking into account that a long stay in different climatic zones in ihram gives rise to certain difficulties, usually prefer to perform Hajj Tamattu’. Taking this into account, when explaining the procedure for performing Hajj, we take this type of Hajj as a basis. We will limit ourselves only to pointing out how other types of Hajj differ from the Tamattu Hajj. Let us proceed to an explanation.

Entering the state of ihram
A person performing Hajj must first enter the state of Ihram. This is a condition of Hajj. Without entering the state of the ihram, one cannot perform the Hajj.
What is ihram?
Ihram is a state in which a person intending to perform Hajj or Umrah for a certain time prohibits himself from a number of actions and deeds that are permissible (mubah) in normal times. This is called “entering ihram.” Ihram is also popularly called the special clothing that pilgrims in the state of ihram must wear. This clothing consists of two pieces of fabric without any seams. But, strictly speaking, ihram is not this clothing. You can go into the state of ihram as we described earlier, but in no case just by wrapping yourself in these two pieces of matter.
Ihram and its restrictions
Having entered the state of ihram, a person for a certain time imposes a ban on himself from performing certain actions and deeds that are permissible (halal) in the normal state.
One enters the state of ihram by determining the intention (entering by determining the intention (niyat) for this and pronouncing talbiyah [the words of labbayk Allahumma, labbayk]). Having determined the intention of performing Umrah, the talbiyah is then pronounced. This is how the state of ihram begins, and all the restrictions of this state become effective. One of these prohibitions is that men cannot wear sewn or knitted clothes.
RIDA and ISAR: To follow this prohibition, men wrap themselves in two pieces of cloth called rida and izar. This attire is known as ihram. There is a widespread belief among people that “entering ihram” means wrapping yourself in these two pieces of material. But as we explained above, “entering ihram” is accomplished by determining the intention (niyat) for this and pronouncing the talbiyah. All men or women who express the intention and pronounce the talbiyah enter the state of ihram. From this moment on, the prohibitions of ihram become mandatory for them. The prohibitions of ihram and the atonement for violating them cannot be fully described on this page, which has limited space. But in a few lines we will try to touch upon those of them that are encountered most often and to which we should pay attention first.

IHRAM PROHIBITIONS:
1. Men wear sewn or knitted clothes.
2. Men should cover their heads, wear items such as gloves, socks, closed shoes and sandals that cover the heel or wrap around the foot.
3. Women cover their faces so that the bandage fits to their face.
4. Shave, pluck body hair, cut nails.
5. Use incense (one of the most common mistakes is using scented soaps, scented detergents and wipes).
6. Words or actions that excite lust; sexual intimacy.
7. Argue, make a scandal, offend someone.
8. Pull out grass and trees that have grown spontaneously within the boundaries of the restricted area in Mecca.
A person in a state of ihram is allowed to: take a shower; When showering, use unscented soap; wear rings, watches, belts, handbags worn around the neck; wash your ihram without using scented detergents; if the ihram gets dirty, torn, etc., replace it with another one; If skin irritation or cracks appear on the legs, use an odorless cream; without covering your head, wrap yourself in a blanket or blanket; use an umbrella. If the slippers have seams, this does not violate ihram. The section on types of Hajj contains various explanations on this topic.

MIKAT PLACES
Miqat are special places that mark the border of the territory into which believers arriving from different parts of the world (afaq) to Haram-i Sharif cannot pass without entering the state of ihram.
AFAC: These are countries outside of Saudi Arabia. Collectively they are called “mawakit”.
There are five miqats:
1. ZULKHULAYFA: located near Medina Munawwara. This miqat is the farthest from Mecca Mukarrama (450 km).
2. JUKHFA: located north of Haram-i Sharif, on the shores of the Red Sea, near “Rabigh”. Whoever enters the state of ihram in Rabigh does so a little earlier than those who enter ihram in Juhfa. This miqat is 283 km away from Mecca. Nowadays, many pilgrims from Turkey, Europe, i.e. from the northern and eastern countries, heading to Haram-i Sharif through Jeddah. They arrive by plane or by ship. In this case, they must enter ihram before passing the latitude of Juhfa. The city of Jeddah itself is located inside the restricted zone.
3. KARN: This miqat is located near Taif. Of all the miqats, it is the closest to Mecca. The distance from Karn to Mecca is 75 km.
4. YALUMLUM: miqat located in the south, on the Yemen side. The distance from it to Mecca is 92 km.
5. ZAT'U IRK: miqat located in the northwest, towards Iraq. The distance from it to Mecca is about 94 km.
These places were determined by the Messenger of Allah himself, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. The first four of them are mentioned in authentic hadiths. The hadith about the miqat of Zat'ul irq is given in the collections of Sahih Muslim and Sunan by Abu Dawud.

PERFORMANCE OF UMRA
Dear pilgrim, to perform Umrah you are heading to the House of Allah (Baytullah). You want your eyes and soul to rest at the Kaaba, you want to find peace, and be filled with new determination on the path of truth. To enter the state of ihram, you need to be filled with new passion and soften your heart, and also not forget something else, which we will discuss below.

BEFORE ENTERING IHRAM YOU MUST:
* Wash your body. * If possible, perfume yourself with incense (women, as at other times, cannot use perfume outside the walls of their home). * Take all measures necessary to maintain health. * Wear clothes that meet the requirements of ihram (men take off all their clothes and wrap themselves in two pieces of cloth called “izar” and “rida”).
ISAR: This is a piece of cloth that is tied around the hips and covers the lower part of the body.
RIDA: This is a piece of cloth that is thrown over the shoulder and which covers the upper part of the body. * It is mustahabb (preferable) for these two pieces of cloth to be new and clean, white in color. They should be tight enough so as not to reveal body parts. * Wear flip-flops on your feet (if you don’t have flip-flops, you can put on shoes so that they don’t cover your heels).
* WOMEN do not change clothes. What is most appropriate for them is the clothing in which they are accustomed to walking. But they should not cover their face with a bandage so that it fits tightly to their face. There should be space between the face and the bandage. They wear ordinary shoes, socks, and may wear gloves.

ENTERING IHRAM:
After all these preparations, in miqat or even earlier (as the sunnah of ihram), prayer is performed in two rak'ahs, unless an undesirable (karahat) time has come for this. When starting prayer, one should define the intention as follows: “I intend, my Allah, for the sake of Your favor, to perform the sunnah of ihram prayer.” In the first rak'ah after Surah "Fatiha" one should read Surah "Kafirun", in the second rak'ah after "Fatiha" one should read Surah "Ikhlas". After performing namaz, one should determine the intention to perform Umrah. This intention must be voiced: “Oh, my Allah. To gain Your favor, I want to perform Umrah. Make this matter easy for me and accept my death. For the sake of the favor (riza) of Allah, I intended to perform Umrah and entered Ihram.” Getting up from the place where the prayer was performed, before setting off, one should say talbiyah. The following dua is called Talbiya: “Lyabbayka-Llahumma labbayk. Lyabbaika la sharika lyaka lyabbaik. Innal hamda Van-ni’mata laka Wal-mulk la sariika laka.” Translation: “Oh my Allah! I am ready to rush to Your commands every moment, to obey them every moment. You have no partner. I respond to Your commands and Your call from a pure heart, sincerely. Verily, praise and blessings belong to You. All wealth belongs to You. You have no partner."
During the first three tawafs - circumambulation around the Kaaba - one must walk in a special step, which is called raml. (Raml: taking short steps, move almost at a run. At the same time, you should move your shoulders, walk with an important look. Women do not perform “ramml”)
After finishing tawaf, you should perform two rak'ahs of prayer. If the time has come at which it is reprehensible to perform namaz, this namaz should be performed later. (In the first rak'ah of this prayer after Surah "Fatiha" it is better to read Surah "Kafirun", in the second rak'ah after "Fatiha" Surah "Ikhlas". If there is free space, it is better to read this prayer somewhere behind "Maqam-i Ibrahim". If there is no free space, then, without causing inconvenience to anyone, you should read it in any other place.)
Then you need to drink plenty of zamzam water and pour it on yourself.
Before going to Safa, you should approach the Black Stone, touch it with your hands or kiss it. This is the sunnah. At the same time, one must pronounce takbir (Allahu akbar), tahlil (La ilaha illa-Klah), praise (hamd) of Allah and say greetings (salawat) to the Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.
Afterwards, we go to Safa Hill.
Then they run several times between the Safa and Marwa hills. This kind of running is called sa'i hajja. It should be done with such intention (niyat).
You should move between two green pillars with a special step - “harval”.
KHARVALYA: easy running. It is faster than "ramlya". But a Muslim should not run so fast that it looks unimportant. “Kharwala” should be performed every time you run between Safa and Marwah.
You should run between Safa and Marwa seven times.
Starting from Safa they reach Marwa. This counts as one run. The return from Marwa to Safa is considered to be the second. Sa'i, therefore, must begin with Safa and end with Marwa.
In other words, sa'i is to run 4 times from Safa to Marwa and 3 times from Marwa to Safa.
After sa'iya, one should cut one's hair and leave ihram.

THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF HAIRCUT:
HULK: Shave his hair completely. This is the best.
TAXIER: from one third or one fourth of the head, shorten the hair to the length of the upper phalanx of the finger.
It is makruh (blameable) to shave only one side of the head, leaving the other unshaved. It is also makrooh to shave your head, leaving only the crest on the top of your head. After all, all this gives a Muslim an undignified appearance.
Men whose hair is less than the length of the upper phalanx of their fingers cannot do taksir. They must do the “hulk”.
Women only shorten their hair to the length of the upper phalanx of their fingers, i.e. they make a "taxi". Shaving one's hair bald is strictly condemned for them, i.e. tahriman makrooh.
From the moment the hair is cut, all prohibitions of the state of ihram become invalid.
This is how Umrah ends.
During his stay in Mecca, from the point of view of Muslim law, a pilgrim must behave like a resident of Mecca. He can perform additional (nafilah) tawaf, ibadat and dua.
When performing Umrah for the residents of Mecca, the miqat is considered to be the boundaries of the Haram of Mecca. Therefore, having gone beyond their limits, the pilgrim can enter ihram and perform an additional (nafilya) umrah.
When performing Umrah, it is better to choose Tanim or Jiran as miqat. In the first, the mother of all believers, Aisha, by order of the Messenger of Allah, and in the second, the Messenger of Allah himself, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, entered ihram.
According to the Hanafi madhhab, Tanim is more preferable because corresponds to the order of the Messenger of Allah. According to the Shafi'i madhhab, Jirana is more preferable, because corresponds to the actions of the Messenger of Allah.
According to the general opinion, these two points are preferable to other places, because... there are indications for them in the sunnah.
Along with the preference of the two points above, one can enter ihram in other places outside the boundaries of the Haram of Mecca. In such as Arafat, Jeddah, Hudaibiya.

Our Creator knows us best and His mercy is endless.

A type of pilgrimage performed by Muslims is Umrah (“small hajj”). It is often called a minor pilgrimage, since it is secondary in comparison with the Hajj - one of the pillars of Islam.

Like Umrah, Umrah is a set of certain religious rites performed by believers in the Muslim shrines of Mecca. But, unlike the Hajj, Umrah contains a smaller number of ritual actions, and its implementation is allowed at any time, while the Hajj is performed during three months of the lunar calendar - Shawwal, Dhul-Qaida and Dhul-Hijjah.

The main difference between Hajj and Umrah is the degree of its obligatory nature. If the need for every Muslim to perform Hajj at least once in their life does not cause any disagreement in the Muslim theological community, then regarding Umrah, the opinions of scientists are divided.

Some theologians, including Hanafis and Malikis, classify the performance of Umrah as a desirable action. As a rule, supporters of this point of view refer to a number of reliable hadiths. One of them says: “Hajj is obligatory, but Umrah is a voluntary action” (Ibn Majah). If we consider umrah from this position, then it is not the obligation of Muslims, which means that leaving it to a person is not a sin.

Other Muslim scholars, including followers of Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal, classify umrah as fard (i.e. obligatory actions), and leaving it is a sin for a person. As an argument in favor of this position, a verse of the Holy Quran is usually cited, which says:

“Complete the Hajj and the lesser pilgrimage in the name of Allah...” (2:196)

Based on this point of view, then, as in the case of Hajj, performing Umrah is obligatory, but not for everyone.

Conditions for performing the “lesser hajj”

1. Profess Islam: like hajj, umrah is an obligation (or a desirable action - depending on the madhhab) only for Muslims.

2. Age of majority: Umrah is only obligatory for adults (from an Islamic point of view), but not for children.

3. Mental capacity: Only those who are of sound mind make the minor pilgrimage.

4. Having personal freedom: it is not necessary for a slave to perform Umrah.

5. Availability of resources for the trip: This implies, first of all, a financial opportunity for a small pilgrimage - the ability to cover the costs of travel (flight), accommodation in Mecca, etc.

In addition, the believer must have free time to travel to holy places, as well as the opportunity to leave his worldly affairs and family for this period, completely devoting himself to the worship of the Almighty.

Umrah ritual actions

As already mentioned, Umrah includes fewer ritual ceremonies than Hajj, but, as in the case of the latter, there are disagreements regarding the obligatory nature of certain actions.

1) Ihram- this is the state into which a believer enters. To do this, he performs a complete ablution (ghusl), puts on a special robe (for men it consists of two pieces of white non-translucent fabric and slippers for bare feet, and for women - ordinary clothing that complies with Sharia). Then the intention (niyat) for performing Umrah is pronounced silently or out loud, a prayer of two rak’ahs is read and “Lyabyakya” (talbiya) is pronounced:

لَبَّيْكَ اللّهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ، لَبَّيْكَ لا شَرِيكَ لَكَ لَبَّيْكَ، إِنّ الحَمْدَ وَالنِّعْمَةَ لَكَ وَالملكَ، لا شَرِيكَ لَكَ

Transcription:“Lyabyakya, Allahumma, lyabyakya, lyabyakya la sharikya la-kya, lyabyakya; innyal-hyamdya, ua-nnigmyata lyakya wal-mulkya, la sharikya la-kya!”

Translation:“Here I am before you, O Allah, You have no partner, here I am before You; Verily, praise is to You, and mercy belongs to You and dominion, You have no partner!

2) Walking around the Kaaba;

3) Ritual of moving between the Safa and Marwa hills;

4) Shaving your head bald or cutting your hair.

Many Muslim scholars are unanimous in their opinion that walking around the Kaaba should be considered a pillar of Umrah and this action is strictly obligatory. Regarding the other three actions, it should be noted that some scholars classify them as the pillars of the minor pilgrimage, while others classify them as necessary (wajib), which means that leaving them for Umrah does not violate.

Virtues of Umrah

1. Umrah erases a person’s sins

The Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) explained: “The performance of each subsequent Umrah after the previous one serves as atonement for the sins accumulated between them” (hadith cited by al-Bukhari)

2. A believer will be rewarded for performing Umrah

The minor pilgrimage, like the main one, carries with it certain hardships that are associated with flights, financial costs, physical fatigue, and so on. When performing Umrah, for every, even minor, difficulty, a person receives a reward, as stated in one of the hadiths: “... regarding the reward for Umrah, it will correspond to your difficulties” (al-Bukhari).

3. Umrah in Ramadan is equivalent to Hajj

Umrah performed in the Holy month of Ramadan has special dignity, since in this month it is equivalent to hajj. The Messenger of the Almighty (s.g.w.) instructed: “Perform Umrah during Ramadan, truly it is like Hajj” (quoted by Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi).

4. Umrah leads to the moral enrichment of a person

During the pilgrimage to Holy Mecca, believers apply diligence in worship, try to refrain from committing negative actions that lead to sin, and this has a positive effect on the inner world of a person.

5. Allows you to broaden your horizons

By performing Umrah and visiting Islamic shrines, Muslims can become more familiar with the culture and history of their religion, and personally examine those places of worship that many of them had previously only seen in photographs or videos.
