Hajj

Hajj

?   The individual must declare and assume the state of ihraam in Makkah.  It is preferable, or even recommended as a precaution, that this declaration is made on the day of Tarwiyah, the 8th day of Dhil-Hejjah, although it is permissible to delay this until later, such that he could ensure that he would be in [the location of] Arafaat in time for midday or noon time on the 9th day of Dhil-Hejjah.

?   He should ensure that he is in Arafaat in time for midday, and that he must remain in Arafaat ? woquf ? from noontime to sunset.
?   After [sunset], he should head for [the location of] Mash?ar al-Haraam.  He must observe the woquf (remain) in Mash?ar al-Haraam between the times of Fajr and Sunrise.
?   After sunrise he must head for [the location of] Mina in order to perform its three rituals, which are Ram?y (stoning of the obelisks representing Satan), Had?y (Sacrifice), and Halq (Shaving) the head (or taqseer where applicable).
?   When he performs these rituals, it is preferable that the adult returns to Makkah on the same day, and if it was not possible, then he could go there on the following day.
?   In Makkah, he must perform the Tawaaf of the Hajj, prays the two rak?ah of the tawaaf by the Maqaam or behind it, perform the sa?y as mentioned before, then performs Tawaaf an-Nisa? or the Women Tawaaf, around the Ka?bah seven times, and performs its two rak?ah prayers.
?   It is imperative that he goes back to Mina before sunset, or [if by the time of sunset, he was still busy performing the rites of Makkah he should go back to Mina] whenever he finishes his rites, even if one third of the night has passed, in order to perform the rest of the rituals there, which is mabeet, [or overnight stay], in Mina during the nights of Tashreeq, and Ram?y [or stoning of the Jamaraat ? the three obelisks or monoliths representing the Satan], during the days of Tashreeq[11]. 
?   Having completed all these, his Hajj is complete, and s/he has discharged his duty in respect of Tamattu? Hajj.
