RESTRICTED PILGRIMAGE
This book is the second in a series designed to explain, as briefly as possible the essence of Islam.
No question of history or philosophy is discussed or raised. The more complete truth about Islam is expressed in a clear and concise.
This series pursues a noble and generous. Those who ignore Islam is presented as a direct introduction to the spirit of this religion. Those who have notions about it, allows for a more serious and better understanding.
In the Name of God, the Compassionate and Merciful.
“God has imposed on men, the pilgrimage to this temple, to anyone it means to go.”
The Prophet has said:
“Those who fulfill the pilgrimage and not give in to lust or evil, will be as sinless as a newborn.”
And he also says:
“The only reward for a pious pilgrimage, is Paradise.”
INTRODUCTION
May God be praised and to bless His Prophet.
The pilgrimage has detailed implications that escape the attention of more than one reader. It is a well-defined requirement and one of the five pillars of Islam, which have been described by the Prophet as follows:
“Testimony that there is no god but God and Muhammad his messenger, the prayers, the zakat (the part of the poor), the fast of Ramadan and the pilgrimage to the Ka’ba.” The implications that we should not be sought in these words, but those of God, saying:
“Your call, among men the Pilgrimage; come on foot or on any (frame) from hole edge, will come either way.”
This verse of the Koran has attracted the attention of Muslim scholars, who are amazed at the idea that the muezzin’s voice, heard in the mosque of Mecca, the people come from every deep route. But his surprise does not last, when their spirits are overlooking the idea that, although human effort is limited, the power of God is infinite. Explain the meaning of this verse, saying that when God said to Abraham, “proclaimed the Pilgrimage among men …”,
Abraham replied: “Oh, Lord, how can my voice to reach the horizon?”
And God replied, saying:
“I will ensure that the call reaches the one whom I designate, even if at the end of the earth.”
Under this, the pilgrim responds to a divine call as soon as he starts his pilgrimage. God has put this thought in the depths of your heart and responds with compassion: “My God, here I am. I have come to you, you lack of partners. That’s praises, blessings and power are yours.” Your Lord has called to him, and he responds by saying, “here I am.”(Labbayka). The consequence to draw here is that each pilgrim is truly aware of what is presented and is called by his Lord, the Lord of Creation, to visit you, and it is therefore necessary to consider this invitation as an honor. Each pilgrim, when he takes seriously the Haram must control your feelings and throw all the bad thoughts, and against that God has prevented saying: “We will prove a cruel torment whoever, with respect to (the mosque), like (acting) with sacrilege, with injustice.”
It is clear that God inflicts a punishment, not only an evil act, but an evil thought: since, in the presence of God, no one should let his thoughts wander
This book is in some way, an indicator of certain obligations that must be observed when visiting the holy places. In this book are meeting the requirements concerning the rites of the pilgrimage and how to carry out this divine obligation. May God help us to follow their recommendations and thus deserve his grace.
Peace be with you!

THE PILGRIMAGE (AL HAGG) RESTRICTED AND PILGRIMAGE (AL ‘UMRA) IN THE LANGUAGE AND ISLAMIC JURISPRUDENCE
1) The literal meaning of the word Hagg, in Arabic, means “directed toward a particular purpose.” In Islamic jurisprudence means going to the Ka’ba, the Holy Temple, and perform the rites of the pilgrimage.
2) ‘Umra I’timár derived from the word, which means “visit.” In Islamic jurisprudence means”to visit the Holy Temple, “approaching God and in accordance with rules which will be discussed below.
The difference between Hagg and ‘Umra be defined in due course.
SOME REGULATIONS CONCERNING THE PILGRIMS AND PILGRIMAGE Restricted.
1) The pilgrimage is an obligation for Muslims, according to the precepts of the Koran and the Sunna, or Tradition, (the practice of the Qur’an by the Prophet and his Companions).
a) In the Qur’an God says: “God has imposed on men the pilgrimage to this temple, to whoever has the means to address it.”
This means that the pilgrimage is a duty imposed on all Muslims, they can not escape while they can afford to comply.
b) With respect to the Sunnah, Ibn Abbas recalled that in one speech, the Prophet said:
”Oh, you people’s pilgrimage is imposed. Do them.”
Al Aqra ‘Ibn Hari asked
”Do you must meet each year, O Messenger of God?”
To this the Prophet replied:
“If you answer yes, this will be taken as an obligation that will bind you beyond your strength … The pilgrimage must be accomplished once in your life, and that perform more than once, it will voluntarily ‘ ‘.
2) According to this Hadith (Tradition of the Prophet), the pilgrimage is a duty that is owed to God, once in life, it more than once is a voluntary thing. All wise (‘ulama’) agree in this regard.
3) As the pilgrimage restricted, some scholars say it is desirable, but not required, citing Abu Hurayra that the Prophet has said that by the way, this: “The pilgrimage is a duty, but the pilgrimage restricted is optional. “
Once a Bedouin came to the Prophet and said:
“Oh, Messenger of God, do the ‘Umra is an obligation?”
The Prophet replied:
“No, but it is preferable for you to fulfill it.”
4) The Messenger of Allah recommends the rapid implementation of the pilgrimage. “Those who want to go on pilgrimage, you must hurry, I could fall sick, lose their means of transport and tackling poverty.”
WHO IS REQUIRED THE PILGRIMAGE?
1) The responsibility of the Muslim pilgrimage adult in full possession of his mental faculties. Only Muslims must comply. There is no obligation for the children or the insane, in the words of the Prophet, who said:
“The pen (or wisdom that inspires human actions) – you type dependent human acts of Divine Justice – is withdrawal of three persons: the sleeper until he wakes up, until the child gets older and crazy until is cured of his mental illness. “
2) The pilgrimage is a duty for those who can fulfill it, says the Quran: “God has imposed on men the pilgrimage to this temple, to whoever has the means to do so.”
The ulema interpret these words of God as a power, by the pilgrim to pay for travel expenses and supplies needed to prepare himself and the family left at home. This requirement does not concern, of course, the people of Mecca and its surroundings.
In this connection, we must remember the enormous progress made in communications, such as ocean liners, airplanes and trains. Thus, it can be said that “those who are able to make the trip, means those who can afford to pay the costs, reliance on their own and need to leave the family members who are at home.
3) As already mentioned, the pilgrimage is not obligatory for the boys. But if these come with their families, is a commendable act, which does not absolve them from complying with the pilgrimage once they come of age.
If the boys have not attained the age of reason, their parents or guardians take them out by all the rites of Hagg. This was practiced by the Prophet himself, as tradition Gabiro Ibn ‘Abd Allah. According to Al Sana’áni the Tutera says, rather than the lad, and speaking from the heart: “I’ve put in a state sacrum (Ihram).”
4) As regards women, must take into account certain conditions. Some mullahs insist that women must be accompanied by a close relative, brother or son (maharim), Others are not so categorical on this point and declared that women can fulfill their pilgrimage, both accompanied by a forthcoming relative, of course.
5) He who dies without having performed the pilgrimage, is released from this obligation if his descendants held by him with his own money, or you can request one to do it for delegation.
6) If a man is unable to perform the pilgrimage due to old age or incurable disease tub, you can choose one person and undertakes to make it instead. This pilgrimage, delegation is valid only in the event that the appointee has already done the Hagg.
UPPER (MAWAQUIT) OF THE GREAT PILGRIMAGE PILGRIMAGE AND RESTRICTED
The word “mawáquit”must be taken here in a broad sense so as to understand the idea of time, and places where they begin the rites of pilgrimage.
THE GREAT PILGRIMAGE PILGRIMAGE AND RESTRICTED
1) Date of Hagg and ‘Umra.
The due date for performance of the pilgrimage is defined by God Himself with these words: “The pilgrimage takes place in the months known.”
These months are Shawwal, Dhul Qa’da and Dhu’l Hiya. The ulema added that only the first ten days of Dhul Hiya are included. So it is not allowed to enter sacred status (ihram) for the pilgrimage, before these months, ie before Shawwal.
As the pilgrimage restricted, no date given during the year. This is One of the differences between Hagg and ‘Umra. It is said that the prophet took her, held once in Shawwal and the other in Dh’ul Qa’da, but declared that the ‘Umra in Ramadan (fasting month) is similar to Hagg with respect to blessings of God, without, however, say that he replaces.
2) The high session (mawáquit makániya).
This refers to places outside Mecca, where Muslims gather before entering the Haram. Arriving at these venues, physically and spiritually prepared to fulfill their sacred duty. These sites are determined by religious law and each of them is known to Miqat. The same Prophet has set the south, east and north of Mecca. They are:
a) Dhul `l Hulayfa: Located north of Mecca, a distance of 450 kilometers, is reserved for the inhabitants of Medina and those that are north of the city.
b) In Yuhra: village northwest of Mecca to stop serving people who came from Levante. It has long been in ruins and in its place is the village of Rabigh, which is the meeqaat””for people from the United Arab Republic, Turkey, Balkan countries, Syria, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, and all from the northwest.
c) Yalamlam: a mountain south of Mecca, highly restricted by the Prophet to the people from Yemen and the countries that are further south.
d) Qarn the Manazil: hill east of Mecca, regarded as high for those from the Negd and other eastern lands.
Everyone who comes to the high that is intended, you should enter the holy state called Ihram.
Those who live between the high and Mecca. must assume their Ihram at the same time and place where they begin their sacred journey. As for those of Mecca itself, start the Ihram in their homes. If the Ihram for the Hajj is restricted, people of Makkah should be directed to beyond the Haram to perform the ihram. Since this site began their pilgrimage.
TERMS THAT HAVE A SPECIAL MEANING
Before speaking of the rites of the pilgrimage, there are a number of terms that need explanation, as ihram, ifraad, Qiran and Tamattu ‘.
Ihram: means literally the meaning of prohibition and requires abstaining from all unlawful things. Ihram is the opposite of Ihlal.
Ifraad, Qiran and Tamattu ‘: to grasp the meaning of these terms is preferable to refer to the different rites of the pilgrimage are restricted ihram, the Ka’ba ring, the race between As Safa and Al Marwa, and have the head and hair shaved or cut. With these requirements, the Ihram restricted on the pilgrimage ends and the other restrictions are lifted.
As the pilgrimage rites are the ihram, the Ka’ba ring, the race between As Safa and Al Marwa, stop (Wuquf) on Mount ‘Arafat on the ninth day of Dhul Hijjah, the launch of stones on the day of sacrifice (the tenth of Dhul-Hijjah), as well as other rules set forth below.
From this we extract, certain differences between the Hajj and Pilgrimage restricted. Hagg ceremonies outnumber those of the ‘Umra. While restricted in the Ihram pilgrimage ends with the race between As Safa and Al Marwa. having his head shaved or hair cut, the Pilgrimage resign after stop on Mount ‘Arafat, fulfilling all the rites of the tenth day of Dhul’l Hijjah.
In addition, the pilgrimage is limited to designated months, while the restricted pilgrimage can be made at any time.
What happens if the ‘Umra is performed during the months of Hagg? In fact, it is possible that a person can belong to one of three categories: Mufrad, qareen and mutamatti ‘.
a) If the pilgrim is to meet the Hagg only, is called Mufrad, which means he has no intention of combining the ‘Umra with Hagg.
b) that from the beginning, wants to combine the ‘Umra with Hagg, called qareen. The difference lies not in the rites observed, but the primary intention.
c) The third case is the first one who wants to fulfill the ‘Umra. Performs all the rites and is free of ihram. Then, the waiver of the restrictions imposed by the sacred state until it reaches the eighth day of Dhul Hijjah, which resumed the Ihram for the Hagg. This is called mutamatti ‘. The mutamatti ‘must not, under any circumstances, have led and your beast of sacrifice to the Ka’ba.
The three cases are illustrated by the testimony of ‘Aisha: “We accompanied the Messenger of God when he made his Farewell Pilgrimage. Some of us met the Ihram and Labbayka cried out, with the intention to perform the’ Umra others with the intention of combining the ‘Umra with Hagg. and others with a desire to meet the Hagg only. “
HAGG CEREMONY AND ‘UMRA
Certain requirements concerning the Hajj pilgrimage and restricted are followed by all Muslims.
1) Ihram:
As we have explained, the Ihram is the inauguration of a state, sacred physical, and spiritual. In practice, the man must do his ablutions before heading to the venue (Miqat) or the station itself, must perfume, and make your prayer conducting two prostrations (raka).
Ibn ‘Abbas that, to achieve Dhu’l Hulayfa, highly restricted to the inhabitants of Medina, the Messenger of God made his Ihram, two prostrations, and he mounted on his camel. As for the women subjected to blood flow prior to birth or during menses, can perform the Ihram and all other rites, except the ring of the Ka’ba. In a state of ihram, the pilgrim is called, muhrim. Take the dress of Ihram, a simple tunic sewing, take, given through the body, leaving bare the right arm and shoulder. It consists of two parts without end or ornament, made of any material, except silk. One of the pieces is folded around the waist and the other is placed on the neck and shoulders, leaving the right arm. The first piece is called the second Izar and Rida ‘. The head should be uncovered, but the elderly and sick people can in-turn with something, in return for which they should give alms to the poor. The ankles have to be naked and people, to this end, wearing sandals. However, shoes can be used with the top cut off, so that the ankles are exposed. As regards women, are the traditional dress that covers them from head to toe, not teaching but the face and hands.
When muhrim dress, begins by saying: Labbayka Labbayka (here I am, Lord!) Expressing its intention to comply with this act, so your trip has the intention to Hagg as the ‘Umra, or both together.
Prohibited Actions during the Ihram:
While in the state of ihram, the pilgrim must not shave or cut their nails, or wash except for ritual ablutions related, several senior trip. You can not have conversations licentious, nor commit sin, flesh, nor give in to evil or vice, or complaints, or acts of violence. God has forbidden such actions in the Quran:
“The pilgrimage takes place in the months which are known to undertake the pilgrimage, no chivalry, no license, no discussion about the pilgrimage.”
In terms of clothes, nothing is allowed except the raising, the Rida ‘and Na’l (or sandals). Thus, a muhrim can not carry or shirt, or pants, no gloves, turban, fez, hat, or any other kind of dress, either sewn or dyed. Although women can wear the clothes they want, they can not wear gloves, ensured the face or wearing clothes that have been totally or partially dyed saffron.
Hunting is also prohibited, as is done in groups or alone. Nor is entitled to accept an animal muhrim killed in hunt, buy, or eat. But the Prophet allowed to kill dangerous animals, and annoying, and also certain birds, in total, the crow, hawk, scorpions, rats and rabid parish. The ulema added to this list, the lion, leopard, lion and snake.
2) Talbiya:
A Muslim shows his devotion from its entry into the state of ihram, throwing stones and shouting Mina devoutly “Labbayka, Labbayka.”
A pilgrim performing the pilgrimage restricted, or ‘Umra, talbiya carried out, ie Labbayka screams – from the place you should start your Ihram, until it enters the Sanctuary, Sacred and touch the Black Stone.
It is hoped that this cry aloud is preferred. The talbiya is one of the rites of Hajj and pilgrimage restricted and, in accordance with the requirements of the Prophet, it should read as follows:
Here I am”(Labbayka), Oh, God Here I am Here I am You do not have any partner. Am I here? The praises and thanks be yours, and that Your authority is unquestioned. “
3) Tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka’ba).
Before entering Mecca, the muhrim to do their ablutions, and can then go to the Holy Sanctuary, and when his eyes fall on the mosque, read:
“My God, You are peace, and peace comes from IT. Receive us, Lord, with peace.” Upon entering the mosque, you should go to the Black Stone, which has to kiss, and if it keeps the crowd, you just touch it. If you can not touch him, raise his hand and scream “God is great” (takbeer) every time you’re facing one of its corners. From the Black Stone and leaving the building on your left, turn seven voices, the first three fast and the other four at a normal pace. Certain prayers are said repeatedly, and at the end of each ring, to kiss, or touch the Black Stone.
Women during menstruation and blood flow prior to birth, should not the ring. It is said that ‘Aisha, the Prophet’s wife, complained bitterly when he was forbidden to enforce this ordinance. The Prophet recalled the status of women and the Tawaf can not be fulfilled before being washed.
The pilgrim makes Tawaf echo when usually the edge of his Rida ‘on the left shoulder, keeping half of the left elbow and thus discovered the right shoulder and left uncovered. People who can not perform his Tawaf on foot, they can with the help of a saddle, or brought to men in chairs.
Once finished the Tawaf, the pilgrim refuge at the height of Abraham. (Maqam) and recites the following divine words:”and remember when we did the Temple of Mecca, a place to come. “
Then look at the Ka’ba. Halfway between her and the high prostrate twice. In each raka reciting the first surah Quran or Fatiha. With the first prostration recite also the verse following the Quran: “Say: He is God, One God, the Only, and the: second. says: “di .- Oh, unbelievers do not worship what you worship …”.
4) The race between As Safa and Al Marwa.
The next rite is the race between the two hills of As Safa and Al Marwa. As the reach Safa, recites the following divine words: “As Safa and Al Marwa are among the sacred symbols.”
Climb to Al Safa, look at the Ka’ba and raises his hands in thanks. Then descends at a normal pace until he reaches the valley between As Safa and Al Marwa, at the moment, picking up the pace. To get to Al Marwa, climb up the stone and carries out the same ritual that has taken place in As Safa.
This up and down between As Safa and Al Marwa is seven times, and is said to be in memory of Hagar, who, on this same ground, looking for water for her son Ismael.
5) Head Shaving or cutting hair.
After the ceremonies of As Safa and Al Marwa, the muhrim simply want to meet Hagg, or the ‘Umra and combined Hagg, retains its sacred status mutamatti But if a’, ie whether to enforce the ‘Umra followed Hagg, you can leave the ihram, now that the ‘Umra over. You may be shaving or cutting hair. As women, they need to shorten his hair and not shave, as recommended by the Prophet. The mutamatti ‘must conform to the divine words that say: “whoever, to make use of the’ Umra pilgrimage to, It is for what (it) is comfortable (sacrifice) as a gift.” This offering can range from a sheep to a cow, and even a camel.
6) The fact leave Mecca to go to water points (Al Tarwiya)
The eighth day of Dhul Hijjah is called Al Tarwiya, because during this time the pilgrims to stock water for days. The mutamatti ‘re-enters the state of Ihram and joined the other pilgrims leave Mina to Mecca road, where they arrive at noon. Meet their noon prayers, afternoon, sunset and night. They spend the night in Mina. The next day morning, do their prayers in the morning, waiting for the sunrise and set off towards the mountain ‘Arafat.
Such was the mode of action observed by the Prophet, and it is desirable that Muslims follow suit
7) High on Mount ‘Arafat.
After dawn on the ninth day of Dhul Hijjah, the pilgrims start to walk to Mount ‘Arafat, shouting together: Labbayka Labbayka and Allah Akbar (God is Greatest). Then wait from noon to sunset and make the noon prayers and evening. Raise their hands in prayer and thanksgiving, repeating the words of the Prophet:
“There is no God but God. No members. Of it is the authority and prayer. The Good emanates from him and has power over all things.”
The height of ‘Arafat is one of the major rites of the pilgrimage. One who does not comply can not be called a pilgrim.
Which, considering the circumstances, can not reach the mountain before dark, they can do after the fall of the sun and even until dawn on the day of sacrifice, which is the tenth of Dhul Hijjah. About this, the Prophet said:
”One that saw our prayer – the dawn of the Day of Sacrifice – and stays with us until we meet our sacrifice, after having previously arrested on Mount ‘Arafat during the day or night, completed its pilgrimage .
And he said: “There is no pilgrimage ‘Arafat, one who gets the night of Al Gam’ (ie Muzdalifa night), before dawn on the Day of Sacrifice has met the essential rites of Hajj.”
8) The Night of Muzdalifa.
After sunset, begin the march to Muzdalifa. The flags mark the boundaries of the Haram, which are exceeded. The darkness of night falls and the torches are lit. Thus, Muzdalifa is reached. Is the prayer of Maghrib (sunset) and Isha (pm), then you sleep. At dawn, made the morning prayers.
According to the Traditions, the Prophet met her, morning prayers in Muzdalifa, riding, then a camel to reach the sacred monument that is located opposite the Qibla and was thus standing, until the light shone strongly in the sky. Just before sunrise, offered in sacrifice a camel. Here, it is necessary to quote the words of the Koran, they say:
”When partis from ‘Arafat, call upon God in the sacred shrine. Invoke the award has given you, but before that, in truth, you have certainly been among the misguided. “
Overnight in Muzdalifa obligation is considered by some ulema coma, while others consider horn Sunna. As women and infirm persons, are exempted by the Prophet, to spend tonight in Muzdalifa.
9) The Day of Sacrifice.
Falls on the tenth day of Dhul Hijjah and is required to follow certain rules:
a) the throwing of stones.
The Prophet, having praised God on the Holy Mountain, is flowed into standing stones, known by the name of Jamrat to ‘Aqab, ay threw seven stones at them, one after another, crying with each one of them:
Labbayka Labbayka”Allah Akbar! “
Once this rite, he stopped throwing stones and said:
God forbid”bless this pilgrimage and forgive us our sins. “
The time reserved for the launch of stones generally begins on the morning of Day of Sacrifice, following the habit of the Prophet, however, can be carried out until the afternoon. As to the stoning before sunrise, is reserved for children, women and the weak.
Stoning is symbolic because it recalls the throwing of stones at Satan, who, they say, was expelled in this way for Abraham.
b) The Sacrifice.
After the stoning, the Prophet took refuge in his house. Mina, where they made the sacrifice of offerings. Thousands of sheep, goats, and camels, are prepared in Mina for the sacrifice. Although there are no places specifically reserved to it, the rock is in the far West Valley is the preferred place, do it. On this day, the tenth of Dhul Hijjah, Muslims around the world offer their sacrifice and celebrate the (‘Eid al Adha), or Easter Grande.
c) head shaving or cutting hair.
Usually, the day of slaughter is done with his head shaved or hair cut. To this end, barbers in Mina. Barbers and pilgrims’ observe certain rules during the operation, as the turn towards the Qibla. For some pilgrims, it is preferable to have razor to cut his hair, as has been established by the Prophet and the mullahs. For those Muslims who perform the ‘Umra these practices. are equal.
d) Tawaf to IFAD.
According to a tradition from Gabir, after the Messenger of God had made the sacrifice of offerings, rode a camel and headed towards the Ka’ba. He carried ‘out a ring called Tawaf to IFAD and made their noon prayers in Mecca.
This ring is an indispensable feature of Hagg, as the ulema, and everyone agrees it is preferable that on the Day of Sacrifice, behind the, stoning, shaving, and sacrifice. Still, do it later, for example during the days of Al Tashreeq, and thereafter, is permitted.
The order of certain of these requirements and IFAD Tawaf to be changed. You may be shaving before throwing stones, or before death, the slaughtered animal.
According to the Apostle of God, these ceremonies are simply limited by time, while being done on the tenth day of Dhul Hijjah.
If the pilgrim is a Mufrad or mukrin his Tawaf Hagg ends with the IFAD and has no need for a start the race between As Safa and Al Marwa. If you are a mutamatti ‘must do so again and should not be sitting around doing your Tawaf to IFAD.
After shaving or cutting hair, the pilgrim leaves the Ihram, but must refrain from any action carnal. After Tawaf to lfada and the race between As Safa and Al Marwa, in the case of mutamatti ‘, and after this Tawaf, in the case of Mufrad or muhrim, the pilgrim is set Ihlal status, or return to world.
10) Return to Mina.
‘Aisha said that the Messenger of God returned to Mina after Tawaf of the IFAD and spent it on other days of All Tashreeq (the days of Al Tashreeq are the eleventh, duo-tenth and thirteenth of Dhul Hijjah) . Restart the stoning of the three rocks, throwing seven pebbles on each of them.
All the pilgrims, with rare exceptions, must take refuge in Mina to spend three days there and finish the stoning ceremony, shouting, Akbar Al-lala.
The stone-throwing takes place during these three days and usually, after the fall of the Sun
11) The Tawaf of Farewell.
Finally, the ring must be goodbye to the Ka1a. Ibn ‘Abbas says that the Prophet insisted that any pilgrim leave Makkah without performing Tawaf his last. To do this, the pilgrim was to Al Tan’eem, at the end of the sacred territory, and returned to take the ihram.
Once these ceremonies completed, the pilgrimage itself, comes to an end. Some days later, the pilgrims leave Mecca to go to Medina to visit the Prophet’s Mosque.
CERTAIN RULES CONCERNING THE HAGG.
God has heard clearly in the Quran the status of the pilgrim who meets the Hagg behind the ‘Umra:
”Anyone who makes use of the ‘Umra pilgrimage to, incumbent what (it) is comfortable (sacrifice) as an offering. (But) you can not find anyone to sacrifice, may redeem by fasting for three days during Hajj and seven days for his return, or ten days together. This applies only to those whose household is not present in the Sacred Mosque, Be merciful to God and know that God is terrible in its punishment. “
This therefore includes three rules:
a) First, the Muslim who wishes to continue the ‘Umra conducting the Hagg, and want to evade the restrictions sacred, since the end of his career between As Safa and Al Marwa, until it regains the Hagg Ihram must provide at least a ram and a maximum for a camel. It should not take the offer before the Hagg Ihram nor between the ‘Umra and Hagg. In fact, it is called mutamatti ‘but when it goes from the’ Umra to Hagg, and not before.
b) If you can not make an offering, or if something stops him, he should fast three days during the Hagg, while it is muhrim. The fast should begin on the eighth day of Dhul Hijjah and continues till the end of high on Mount ‘Arafat.
If unable to fast three days, you can leave at the end of the days of Al Tashreeq, and then he should fast three days before the Tawaf to IFAD. Once back home, pilgrims to fast seven days, thus completing the cycle of ten days of fasting according to the requirements of God, found in verse of the Koran as aforesaid.
c) The offering or fasting is a bailout for the period during which gets rid of Ihram, and is only seen by those who do not live within the limits of Mecca. In short, this requirement does not apply to the inhabitants of Mecca.
2) If the muhrim is facing unforeseen difficulties or facing an emergency event, should have the following words of God:
”Anyone who makes use of the ‘Umra pilgrimage to, incumbent what (it) is comfortable (sacrifice) as an offering. (But) you can not find anyone to sacrifice, may redeem by fasting for three days during the pilgrimage and seven for his return, or ten days together. “
Among those obstacles account to see the road cut by the enemy. This happened one day to the Prophet, when, accompanied by some followers, left Madina with the intention to perform the ‘Umra. The unbelievers will cut the road and he could not continue. Then he sacrificed a camel reserved as an offering, left the Ihram, he shaved his head and returned to Medina with their peers.
Also among the obstacles must be counted the physical disability resulting from illness or accidents and other unforeseen difficulties, such as path loss, lack of provision for continuing it’s put in prison or not, to reach to port as scheduled.
In all these cases, the muhrim must make an offering, without the ihram, go home and leave for another date Hagg.
3) If a muhrim is forced: to shave his head during the ihram. because of a scalp disease, or other very strong, can do so on condition of implementing God’s instructions:
”To whoever among you who is ill affection of a bad head shall lie on the rescue by fasting, alms or a sacrifice ritual. “
Thus, according to the explanations of the Prophet, muhrim should fast three days, offering a sacrifice or poor, or feed six different people.
4) If, for health reasons, a person is forced to wear dresses sewn or reduced, for fear of cold or heat, should follow the rule imposed on muhrim suffering from a disease in the head. Therefore, fasting three days, will offer a sacrifice or feed six poor.
5) The pilgrim should drink as much water as possible from the holy Zamzam well, which is in the Holy Mosque.
VISIT TO THE MOSQUE OF THE PROPHET
The Prophet always recommended to visit three mosques: the Sacred Temple (the Ka’ba) in Mecca, Medina own Mosque and the Masjid al Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem.
At the end of Hagg rites, the pilgrim would do well to approach the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina, equipped with five minarets and a green dome placed over the grave of the Messenger of God.
When entering the mosque, to remember everything you know of the glorious acts of the Prophet and his spiritual guidance. You must remember that it was in this mosque where the Prophet taught Muslims, the principles of their faith, instilling the rules of brotherhood, justice and equality.
When he went inside the pilgrim should do two prostrations and go to the tomb of the Prophet, may greet you with these words:
”The peace of God be upon you, Messenger of God, I swear there is no God but, God and you are his Prophet. “
It is hoped that the visitor gets a little bit to the east, to greet the tombs of the Khalifah Abu Bakr and Omar Ibn Al Khattab.
With this visit, a sense of devotion of the pilgrim is enhanced with the memory of the glories of Islam. In this regard the mosque serves as a source of inspiration for Muslims across the world.
