Umrah and Hajj

The Umrah or (Arabic: عمرة ) is a pilgrimage to Mecca performed by Muslims that can be undertaken at any time of the year. In Arabic Umrah means “to visit a populated place”. As a technical term used in the Shari’ah, Umrah means to perform Tawaf of Ka’bah and Sa’ey between Safa and Marwa, after assuming Ihram, either from a Miqat or a place in Hill.

The Hajj (Arabic: حج‎, transliteration: Ḥaǧǧ), that is pilgrimage to Mecca (Makkah), is the largest annual pilgrimage in the world.[1] It is the fifth pillar of Islam, an obligation that must be carried out at least once in their lifetime by every able-bodied Muslim who can afford to do so. It is a demonstration of the solidarity of the Muslim people, and their submission to God.[2]

The pilgrimage occurs from the 6th to the 12th day of Dhul Hijjah, the 12th month of the Islamic calendar. Because the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar, the event cannot be pegged to the Gregorian calendar, whose (solar) year is eleven days longer. In 2007, Hajj took place from December 17 to December 21.

The Hajj is associated with the life of Muhammad, but the ritual of pilgrimage to Mecca predates Islam, and was considered ancient even during his lifetime in the 7th century. Many Muslims believe that it goes back to the time of Abraham in 2000 ad. Pilgrims would join processions of ten people, who would simultaneously converge on Mecca for the week of the Hajj, and perform a series of rituals. Each person would walk counter-clockwise seven times about the Kaaba, the cubical building towards which all Muslims pray, kiss the sacred Black Stone on its corner, run back and forth between the hills of Al-Safa and Al-Marwah, drink from the Zamzam Well, go to the plains of Mount Arafat to stand in vigil, then proceed to Muzdalifah to gather stones , which they would throw at three pillars in Mina to perform the ritual of the Stoning of the Devil. The pilgrims would then shave their heads, perform an animal sacrifice, and celebrate the four day global festival of Eid ul-Adha.[3][4][5]

As of 2007, an estimated two million pilgrims participate in this annual pilgrimage.[6] Crowd-control techniques have become critical, and because of the large numbers of people, many of the rituals have become more stylized. It is not necessary to kiss the Black Stone, but merely to point at it on each circuit around the Kaaba. Throwing pebbles was done at large pillars, which for safety reasons were in 2004 changed to long walls with catchbasins below to catch the stones. The slaughter of an animal can be done either personally, or by appointing someone else to do it, and so forth.[7] But even with the crowd control techniques, there are still many incidents during the Hajj, as pilgrims are trampled in the crush, or ramps collapse under the weight of the many visitors, causing hundreds of deaths. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Hajj has a website, with the message, "Be peaceful, orderly and kind. No crushing."[8]
Hajj can be performed in three different ways:
Tamattu' - Qiran - Ifraad.

1-Tamattu` means performing `Umrah during the Hajj season, and on the Day of Tarwiyah the pilgrim gets into the state of Ihram for Hajj. Anyone intending to perform a Tamattu' Hajj should make intention for `Umrah when approaching the Miqat. The intention here should be for `Umrah. The pilgrim should say,

"Labbayk-Allahumma labbayka bi'Umrah!" or "Labbayka 'Umratan!"
"O Allah! I answer Your call to perform `Umrah."

The pilgrim can add some other du'aa such as: " O Allah! I intend to perform `Umrah, so make it easy for me, and accept it from me." It is also allowed for the pilgrim though intending initially to complete Hajj or 'Umrah to put a condition whereby if for some unexpected sickness or circumstances the journey could not be completed, he, or she, can end the state of Ihraam without having to sacrifice an animal or fast. Therefore, the pilgrim can address Allah saying,

"Inna mahilli minal-Ardi haythu habastani"
" I will end up my state of Ihraam wherever I cannot proceed."

After this, the pilgrim proceeds with Talbiyah as shown previously. Once the pilgrim reaches Makkah, he heads for al-Masjid al-Haraam and circumambulates the Ka`bah seven times in a state of wudu beginning by kissing the black stone or if it's impossible by raising the hands as far as the ears saying, "Bismillah Allahu Akbar!" After Tawaaf, the pilgrim prays two Rak'aas at Maqaamu Ibraahim - without disturbing those who circumambulate- drinks Zamzam water then goes to walk between as-Safaa and al-Marwah seven times, then gets the hair cut or shaved. With this the state of Ihraam and 'Umrah are ended. On the day of Tarwiyah, that is the 8th of Dhul-Hijjah, the pilgrim enters another time in the state of Ihraam saying,

" Labbayk-Allahumma labbayka bi-Hajj!" or "Labbayka Hajjan"
"O Allah! I answer Your call to perform Hajj."

The pilgrim can add, " O Allah! I intend to perform Hajj, so make it easy for me, and accept it from me. I intend to perform Hajj and I am entering in the state of Ihram only for Your sake, O Allah !" Then the Talbiyah is repeated throughout the rituals of Hajj in Mina, Arafah, and Muzdalifah. On the 10th of dhul-Hijjah, a sacrifice should be offered to Allah as mentioned in Qur'an after stoning at al-Jamaraat. After the sacrifice is done, the pilgrim can shave or cut the hair. Once the Tawaaf of Ifaadah is done, the pilgrim should do Sa'y between as-Safa and al-Marwah for Hajj. However, if a person starts with the Tawaaf of al-Ifaadah, then Sa'y, then shaves and then stones at al-Jamaraat it is also accepted.
Tamattu' Hajj is the most recommended for people and it was more encouraged to it by the Prophet (S). This is indeed the best way to perform Hajj. Once Hajj is completed, a Hady should be offered on the 10th. Allah (swt) says,

"If any one wishes to continue the Umra on to the Hajj, he must make an offering such as he can afford, but if he cannot afford it, he should fast three days during the Hajj and seven days on his return, making ten days in all. This is for those whose household is not in (the precincts of) the Sacred Mosque, and fear Allah, and know that Allah, is strict in punishment."(2:196)

2-Qiran means to combine Hajj and 'Umrah. This means that the pilgrim should declare the intention to perform both Hajj and `Umrah together,

"Labbayk-Allahumma labbayka bi-Hajjin wa-'Umrah!" or
"Labbayka Hajjan wa 'Umratan!"
"O Allah! I answer Your call to perform Hajj and 'Umrah!"

In this kind of Hajj, it is not allowed for the pilgrim to end the state of Ihraam after Sa'ay. The pilgrim will not have to perform after the Ifadah Tawaaf on the 10th of dhil Hijjah the Sa'y because it is already performed for both Hajj and `Umrah.
The pilgrim is supposed to bring his sacrificial animal with him as the Prophet (S) did. This must be done because the rituals of Hajj and `Umrah were joined together.

3-Ifraad means that the pilgrim declares his intention for Hajj only.

" Labbayk-Allahumma labbayka bi-Hajj!" or " Labbayka Hajjan"
"O Allah! I answer Your call to perform Hajj."
The pilgrim maintains his Ihraam up to the Day of Sacrifice. No animal sacrifice offering is required from him.

Pilgrims can also go to Mecca to perform the rituals at other times of the year. This is sometimes called the "lesser pilgrimage", or Umrah. However, even if they perform the Umrah, they are still obligated to perform the Hajj at some other point in their lifetime.

HAJJ FROM MUHAMMAD SAW

Imam Muslim narrated with sanadnya-sanadnya from Ja'far ibn Muhammad from his father, he said, we've met with Jabir bin Abdullah. Then she asked particulars of people until the end to me. So I replied, "I was Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Husayn." Then she held my head in his hands, then release the top button of my shirt, then the bottom, then put her hand on my chest. At that time, I was young young. Then he said, "Welcome, O my brothers son. Ask anything you want! "Then I asked him and he at that time was blind. Then it was time to pray, then he stood with the cloth-covered dibahunya, then decrease both ends because it was too narrow, while the shawl hanging at the hanger, and then he prayed with us. After prayer, I asked, '(O Jabir, please) explain to me about the Prophet Hajj Manasik. Then he motioned with his hand to form a nine and then explains: "That the Messenger of Allah. Live in (Medina) for nine years is not the haj. Then in the tenth year announced to the people (the friends) that the Messenger of Allah. About the pilgrimage. Berdatanganlah So the friends in large numbers to Medina wanted to follow the Prophet. and practice pilgrimage he practiced. So we went out with the Messenger of Allah. until he reached Dhul Hulaifah, and Asma 'bin' Umais bear Muhammad bin Abu Bakr, and then I sent one to asked the Messenger of Allah. what should be done. So the word of his (her), "Go take a shower and put on bandages and cotton loincloth, then berihramlah!" Then the Prophet prayed in the mosque. After that ride camels Qaswa 'to arrive in the area when my Bada (Jabir) see as far as the eye can see, many pilgrims jama'ah camel riding and walking, his right as such to the left like that, too, and behind him like that, too, while the Messenger of Allah. are in our midst. And him al-Qur'an and the Prophet descended. knows its interpretation (tafsir) what the Messenger of Allah. Practice, we must imitate. Then Prophet bertalbiyah:

"I came to meet thy call, O God calls me to come meet you, I came to meet your call no partner to Thee I come to meet your call. Surely all praise, and all power ni'mat are yours no partner for You. "

Then the pilgrims say jama'ah talbiyah companions pronounced it; Messenger of Allah. let them continue to say talbiyah and he did, too. "

Then Jabir r.a. continued his statement, 'we're just going to the pilgrimage, we do not understand the umrah (at the time), so when we arrived at the House, the Messenger of Allah. touching (holding) hajar aswad, then the Prophet thawaf with predicted (predicted a quick way to short step [trot] (pent.) three laps and walk thawaf with four rounds, then he came to the Station of Ibrahim peace be upon him, and then read verse, "And make some of the Station of Ibrahim as a place of prayer." (Al-Baqarah: 125).

Then the Messenger of Allah. placed alongside the Station of Abraham House. Ja'far ibn Muhammad said, was my father, Muhammad said. "I never knew him (Jabir) explain this, except from the Prophet .." (Then Jabir continued his statement), then the Messenger of Allah. prayed two raka'at with reading, Sunday and HUWALLAHU Qul Qul KAAFIRUUN AYYUHAL YAA, then back again to the Black Stone, and menjama'nya, then out into the hills Safa. When the Messenger of Allah. nearly approached Safa, he membada verse, INNASH SHAFAA MIN Marwata SYA'AA WAL-IRILLAAH (actually Safa and Marwa are among the syi'ar God). (Al-Baqarah: 185).

"

Then the Prophet prayed in between reading it; he did so three times. Then the Prophet descended (into) the Al-Marwah, until the two legs when stepping on the middle of the valley, he walked (with a predicted) that if we climb, he was walking until he reached the Marwa. Later on the Prophet Marwah do as he did at the Safa, so when arriving late on thawafnya Marwah, he said, "If I teach what I have left now, I shall not bring animals hadyu and I will make it umrah, therefore, whoever of you (happen) do not bring animals hadyu, bertahalullah and replace it with Umrah Hajj! "Then Surawah bin Malik bin Ju'syam said," O Messenger of Allah, whether for us this year alone or for long forever? "Then the Messenger of Allah. mencengkeramkan the fingers of his right hand on his left hand to unite as saying, "` Umrah in the pilgrimage, "[mean his fingers like he is, Pent.] two times," not for this year alone, even for ever. "

Jabir continued, "Ali arrived from Yemen the country with the camels of the Messenger of Allah., He found Fatima ra including people who have bertahallul, wearing colorful clothes, kohl, and he was reprimanded for his actions. So Fatima replied, "Actually my father has told me to do this." While in Iraq Ali said, "Then I met the Messenger of Allah berrangkat not agree to act as he asked Fatima clear to him about what he uttered to me. Then tell him, that I had reprimanded him [deny]

because of his actions. The Messenger of Allah said, 'He's right, he's right. What have you ketikka Hang set ikrarkan pilgrimage? 'I said, I say, "O Allah, I begin Ihram as the Prophet Muhammad began Ihram."

So the word of Allah, "That's because I brought hadyu animal, then you should not bertahallul by cutting hair." The total number of animals brought hadyu Ali from Yemen country and being devoted to the Prophet. is a hundred tails. Then all the pilgrims jama'ah bertahallul and they cut his hair short, except the Prophet. and the people who brought animals hadyu. When the day arrived Tarwiyah, the pilgrims leave for jama'ah Mina, then they start Ihram for Hajj. Prophet camel ride, and then pray with them, shubur, 'Asr, Maghrib,' evening, and Shubuh.

"Surely you blood and treasure for you bendamu illegitimate illegitimate as this day, at this bulanmu, in this country. Know that all forms of vile rage case under my feet. Abject ignorance of blood, blood the first time I was Ibn Rabi'a hinakan bin al-Hartits, he'd find someone who will breastfeed (child) in Bani Sa'ad and killed by (the stranger) from the Children Hudhayl; usury abject ignorance and usury is the first time I lowered the usury Abbas ibn Abdul Mutthalib; it should be cast out. Let your duty to Allah in dealing with real women because you take them as a trust from God and the honor they become lawful for you with the word of Allah. For you, they should not allow the one who did not you like into your house. When they were violating the ban, then beat them with a blow not to give the wound. To them, you have to endure a living and their clothes wise manner. It has been left to something that causes you will not be lost for ever if you are determined to fight, ie the Qur'aan. And, you'd asked me then what would you point out to me, "Answer the friends 'we bear witness that thou hast delivered fulfill God's mandate issues, and have given advice [to people]' Then the Prophet berisyarat and forefinger toward the sky mengaangkatnya , then direct it to the jama'ah he said: 'Allah, O God, bear witness, O God, bear witness,' three times. "

And the Messenger of Allah. Usama ride behind him, then he went to tighten control Qaswa'nya camels, until his head touched the seat in the vehicle. And he berisyarat with his right hand (to the jama'ah hajj), as he said "O jama'ah pilgrimage, walk quietly, walk quietly." And every time he reached the wide sandy soil, loosen the reins until he ( time) to climb, until he reached the Muzdalibah.

Then the Messenger of Allah. stopped until very light, then he set off before sunrise, and Fadl ibn Abbas dibonceng behind him; he aki-aki is a good hair, white and handsome. When the Messenger of Allah. left, there is a group of women pilgrims jama'ah passing in front of Him, so that Fadl bin 'Abbas saw them, then Fadl turned his face the other direction to get their attention, then the Messenger of Allah. menghadangkan hands in front of Fadl's face, then he turned his face to another direction until he arrived at the (valley) Muhassir, and his speed a little (way), then take the middle road that leads Jamrah Kubra, until at Jamrah near tree, then he melontarnya with seven small stones while at every burst bertakbir, among them for your little finger. (Imam Nawawi in Sharh Muslim VIII: 191 says, "As for the word he, 'Then He melontarnya with seven small stones, he bertakbir hurl them at each rock for your little finger." That is contained in the manuscript, and that's what al-Qadi 'Iyadh of most manuscripts, and he said,' The truth is like sebensar finger kilingking, 'he said (again),' It is narrated by Imam Muslim and the other by some narrator narrator-Muslim used. 'This is a statement al-Qadi 'Iyadh. In my opinion (Imam Nawawi) the right is contained in the manuscript without lafad like, Imaam Muslim and others did not complete the sentence, except for granted. So the Prophet,' Stone of your little finger; related with small stones are used to throwing seven times jumrah accompanied hurl at each time interpretation is the correct burst, wallau knows best. "Done.)

He melontarnya from the middle of the valley, then go to the slaughter, and slaughtered as many as sixty-tails (camel) with his own tanggannya, and submit a further cut to Ali, and Ali to slaughter a camel-colored dust, and he was with the Messenger of Allah. in hadyunya animals, then the Messenger of Allah. asked (Ali) is a camel's tail is cut, then put into the pot, then cooked. So then the Messenger of Allah. eating meat with Ali and drinking the liquid alone.

Then the Messenger of Allah. camel ride (again) down to the House (for thawaf), and pray Dhuhr in Mecca, and then came to the Bani Abdul Mutthalib who are giving drink Zamzam water [to jama'ah pilgrimage, Pent.], to them the Messenger of Allah said, '( O) Bani Abdul Mutthalib, timbalah [Zamzam water that] with a bucket, Even if [I'm not worried] You'll beat the hajj jama'ah for providing this drink I would ask you, 'Then they handed him setimba Zamzam water, then he drank it.

In Muslim Syarhu VIII: 170 Imam Nawawi, may Allaah affirmed, "This is a great hadith, including various faidah and all the beauty that comes from the rules of the most important al-Qadi 'Iyadh has said that the scholars' This hadith has been studied at length width and detail of the corner of fiqh. Abu Bakr ibn al-Mudnzir has authored juz saut thick, Fiqh books that discuss more issues fifty fiqh hadith extracted from them.
