Re: Hajj & Umrah

Ok fine i can let you know regarding the Umra for sure, i will take you through each step.
1) Please be clean i.e. clip your nails, cut of your hair.
2) When sitting on any transport, after leaving from your house please Recite Surah 43, Az zukhruj verse 13-14.
3) IN the journey try to talk good, please remain in the dhikr of Allaah, be modest throughout the journey.
4) Since you might be flying in by plane you migh have to get into the ihram (two piece white cloth for men/women in hijab), it depends before that you have to perform the ghusl. Upon wearing the ihram you have to take the niyah of Umrah i.e. Allaahumma Labayk Umra (thrice), if its hajj Allaahumma labayk Hajj
5) Once you are in ihram keep reciting
Labayk Allaahumma laka labayk, la sharika laka labayk, in al hamda wan ya mata latawul mulk la sharika lak
(Allaah i have come in for your call, there is no partner with you, i have come here for you, all praises, dominion belongs to you, and there is no partner alongside with you)
6) Once you are near the haram boundary (most of them advise to go through Bab as SAlam as you can see the door of the kaaba but unfortunately its closed now due to extension of Safa and marwa).
7) Once you enter the boundary of the haram, please advise some to take you really close to Kaaba because the first sight of the Kaaba its advised you have to stand on the same position and do the dua.
8) Once you have seen the Kaaba (its a wonderful sight) first words you shud utter are thrice
Allaahuakbar, Alhamdullillaah, Subbhanallaah. Then send salams to our Prophet, remember supplicate as much as you can, take your own time as much as possible.
9) Once you have done with your supplication, perform Tahiyyatul Al Masjid (2 sunnah rakah), in the sujood supplicate as much as you can.
10) Please have a book in which only the dhikr of Allaah is there, and if you know it then its cool. Well, i use the Quran and recite the verses which are in praise with Glory of Allaah.
11) Once you are near Hajra Aswad (Black stone), lift you hand and say Allaah u Akbar (different school vary on this one it can be said thrice or once) but Prophet accoring to the source I follow just said it once and pointed it towards the Kaaba (Beware you will find most of them pointing there fingers and kissing there hands later).
12) Here your first round of circumambulation starts always remember Allaah when performing the circumambulation.
13) Once you near Rukni yemeni (corner of yemen), its better if you recite rabbana atin fid dunya hasnataon wa fee na al akhirati hasnataon wa kheen azhaaban naar.
14) Its recommended the first 3 rounds should be at a brisk speed.
15) Once you finish your first round, near Hajre Aswad again say Allaah u akbar and continue the same till you finishe you last and the sevent round by saying Allaah u akbar.
16) Once you have finished your tawaf, get behind Maqame Ibrahim (an honour to Ibrahim alayhi salam as he builth the kaaba) and perform two rakah prayer.
a) In the first rakah after Surah Al Fatiha recite Surah Al Ikhlas.
b) IN the second rakah after Surah Al Fatiha recite Surah Al Kaafirroon.
17) Now proceed towards Safa and Al Marwa.
18) Once you are mounting on Safa recite Surah Baqara 2:158, once you have done that recite
La illaah illaala, Allaahu Akbar as many times as possible till you can climb the safa mountain and see the kaaba (but its not visibile so just turn towards kaaba) and recite
La illaaha illaalha, wahdahu la sharikala, lahu mulku wa lahu hamdu wa huwa alla kulli shayin Qadeer, la illaaha illallahu wa'dahu, wa anjaza wahdahu, wa nasara abdahu, wa hazama ahzaaba wahdahau (thrice)
Supplicate if you want after this.
19) Procedd towards Marwas and again recite above mentioned Italics and bold part.
20) This happens seven times.
21) Once you finish with SAfa and Marwa, thank Allaah and supplicate as much as possible
22) Its recommended if you are a male to shave your hair, otherwise clip your hair of 3 times or 5 or 7.
This ends you Umrah.
Please do some reading yourself, as I might be wrong because all good is from Allaah and prophet and anyting wrong is from me and SAtan.
Regards,

Re: Hajj & Umrah
that has just confirmed what I’ve been reading in books. I have a question about salah when travelling. As we will be stopping in Jordan for a day, 7 days Makkah, 7 days Medina, Is the salah shortened during travelling only, or during the stay too? What do we pray and can salah be combined e.g. zohar/asar?
Re: Hajj & Umrah
SAV, you didn't mention the prayer at Multazim:
'Al-Multazim is the part of Ka'bah between its door and the Black Stone. After drinking the water of Zamzam, it is recommended that one should make special supplications at Al-Multazim. Ibn 'Abbas reported that he used to stand between the Black Stone corner and the Ka'bah door and said, "The space between the Black Stone and the door of the Ka'bah is called 'AlMultazim' and whoever stands here and supplicates to Allah, he gives him whatever he supplicates for." (Al-Baihaqi)
'Amr bin Shu'aib reported from his father, and he from his father that he said, "I have seen the Prophet (peace be upon him) placing his face and chest against Al-Multazim."
(Some scholars including Bukhari say Al-Hateem is Al-Multazim. To support their view they cite the hadith of the Night Journey in which the Prophet (peace be upon him) said "While I was asleep in (the area called) ' al-Hateem" or also called "al-Hijr...")

Where do you differ brother? Please let me know. I am asking because I am the one answered that question. Your reply will help me.
Is that regarding combing Duhr and Asr?
Re: Hajj & Umrah
Brother Salam,
I have been a hanifi previously so i know where your coming from, and yes exactly i am more inclined towards duhr and asr combined. Well, lets avoid this topic as the madhabs topics is beaten down to death.

WALEKUM ASSALAM. This is why I mentioned in my post that the answer is according to the Hanafi Maslak, because I know that there is difference in different school of thoughts.
I am not knowlegable enough to compare Madhab's anyway so I agree with you that we should avoid the topic.
Salam
