Chapter on the Sequence of the Rituals of Hajj
[رمى الجمار]
وارم الجمار في كل يوم بعد طلوع الشمس إلي الزوال وكلما قرب من الزوال فهو أفضل. وقد رويت رخصة من أول النهار إلى آخره.
وقل ما قلت يوم رميت جمرة العقبة وابدأ بالجمرة الأولى وأرمها بسبع حصيات من قبل وجهها ولا ترمها من أعلاها، ثم قف على يسار الطريق واحمد الله عز وجل و اثن عليه وصل على النبي وآله، ثم تقدم قليلا وادع الله عز وجل واسأله أن يتقبل منك، ثم تقدم قليلا وادع الله ثم تقدم قليلا ثم افعل ذلك عند الوسطى ترميها بسبع حصيات واصنع كما صنعت في الأولى وتقف عندها وتدعو، ثم امض إلى الثالثة وعليك السكينة والوقار وارمها بسبع حصيات ولا تقف عندها.
STONING THE JAMARAT
On each day of Tashreeq (the 11th, 12th, and 13th of Dhul-Hijjah), perform the stoning of the Jamarat between sunrise and midday (zawal). While stoning closer to zawal is preferred, there is a narration allowing it from early morning to evening.
1. Start with the First Jamarah (Jamarah Al-Ula):
o Throw seven pebbles at it, one at a time, from its front side, not from the top.
o After stoning, stand to the left of the path, praise Allah (swt), send blessings upon the Prophet and his family, and supplicate to Allah (swt).
o Move a little forward and repeat your supplication.
2. Proceed to the Second Jamarah (Jamarah Al-Wusta):
o Similarly, throw seven pebbles, and follow the same steps as with the first: stoning, praising Allah (swt), sending blessings upon the Prophet, and making dua.
o Stand near it and make your supplications.
3. Move to the Third Jamarah (Jamarah Al-Aqabah):
o Throw seven pebbles at it but do not stop for supplication here. Continue with dignity, maintaining calmness and composure.
During each stoning, repeat the supplications you said while stoning Jamarah Al-Aqabah on the Day of Sacrifice (10th Dhul-Hijjah).
[التكبير أيام التشريق]
والتكبير في الأضحى من صلاة الظهر يوم النحر إلى صلاة الغداة يوم الرابع يكون ذلك في خمس عشرة صلاة وذلك بمنى، وبالأمصار في دبر عشرة صلوات من صلاة الظهر يوم النحر إلى صلاة الغداة يوم الثالث ، والتكبير أن تقول: " الله أكبر، الله أكبر، لا إله إلا الله، والله أكبر، الله أكبر، ولله الحمد، الله أكبر على ما هدانا، والحمد لله على ما أبلانا، والله أكبر على ما رزقنا من بهيمة الأنعام ".
RECITING TAKBIR DURING THE DAYS OF TASHRIQ
The Takbir of Eid al-Adha begins after the Dhuhr prayer on the Day of Sacrifice (10th Dhul-Hijjah) and continues until the Fajr prayer on the fourth day (13th Dhul-Hijjah), totaling fifteen prayers for those in Mina.
For those in other locations (al-Amsar), the Takbir is recited after ten prayers, starting from Dhuhr on the Day of Sacrifice (10th Dhul-Hijjah) until the Fajr prayer of the third day (12th Dhul-Hijjah).
The Takbir is as follows:
"Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La ilaha illa Allah, wa Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa lillahi al-hamd.
Allahu Akbar ala ma hadana, wa al-hamdu lillahi ala ma ablaha, wa Allahu Akbar ala ma razaqana min bahimat al-anam."
Translation: "Allah (swt) is the Greatest, Allah (swt) is the Greatest, there is no deity except Allah (swt).
Allah (swt) is the Greatest, Allah (swt) is the Greatest, and to Allah (swt) belongs all praise.
Allah (swt) is the Greatest for guiding us, and praise be to Allah (swt) for blessing us.
Allah (swt) is the Greatest for providing us with the sacrificial animals."
[النفر من منى]
فإذا أردت أن تنفر من منى يوم الرابع من يوم النحر نفرت إذا طلعت الشمس ولا عليك أي ساعة نفرت ورميت قبل الزوال أو بعده، فاذا أردت أن تنفر في النفر الاول وهو اليوم الثالث فانفر إذا زالت الشمس فإنه ليس لك ان تنفر قبل زوال الشمس، وإن أنت أقمت إلى أن تغيب لشمس فليس لك أن تخرج من منى ووجب عليك المقام إلى اليوم الرابع من يوم النحر وهو النفر الاخير، وأفض إلى مكة مهللا وممجدا وداعيا فاذا بلغت مسجد النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وهو مسجد الحصباء دخلته واستلقيت فيه على قفاك بقدر ما تستريح. ومن نفر في النفر الاول فليس عليه أن يحصب.
DEPARTURE FROM MINA
If you wish to leave Mina on the fourth day of Eid al-Adha (the Day of Sacrifice), you may depart after sunrise, and it does not matter at what hour you leave, whether you cast the stones (at the pillars) before or after noon. However, if you wish to leave on the first departure (the third day of Eid al-Adha), you must wait until the sun has passed its zenith (noon), as it is not permissible to leave before this time. If you remain in Mina until sunset, then you are not allowed to leave Mina and must stay until the fourth day of Eid al-Adha, which is the final departure.
When you proceed to Mecca, do so while reciting Labbayk (Talbiyah), glorifying Allah (swt), and supplicating. Upon reaching the Mosque of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family), which is known as Masjid al-Hasba, enter it and lie on your back for a brief rest.
For those who leave Mina on the first departure (the third day of Eid al-Adha), there is no obligation upon them to perform the ritual stoning (Hasba).
[دخول مكة]
ثم ادخل مكة وعليك السكينة والوقار وقد فرغت من كل شئ لزمك في حج وعمرة وابتع بدرهم تمرا وتصدق به ليكون كفارة لما دخل عليك في إحرامك مما لا تعلم.
ENTERING MAKKAH
When you enter Makkah after completing all the rituals required for Hajj and Umrah, do so with tranquility and dignity. You have now concluded everything that was obligatory upon you during Hajj and Umrah.
As an act of atonement for any unintentional errors you may have committed during your state of Ihram, it is recommended that you purchase dates for one dirham and give them in charity. This serves as an expiation for any mistakes or oversights of which you are unaware.
[دخول الكعبة]
وإن أحببت أن تدخل الكعبة فأدخلها وإن شئت لم تدخلها إلا أن تكون صرورة فلا بد لك من دخولها واغتسل قبل أن تدخلها وقل إذا دخلتها " اللهم إنك قلت في كتابك: " ومن دخله كان آمنا " فآمني من عذابك عذاب النار " ثم صل بين الأسطوانتين على البلاطة الحمراء ركعتين، تقرأ في الأولى الحمد وحم السجدة وفي الثانية الحمد وعدد آيها من القرآن، وتصلي في زواياه وتقول:
" اللهم من تهيا أو تعبأ أو أعد أو استعد لوفادة إلى مخلوق رجاء رفده ونوافله وجوائزه فإليك يا سيدي تهيئتي وتعبئتي وإعدادي واستعدادي رجاء رفدك ونوافلك وجائزتك فلا تخيب اليوم رجائي، يامن لا يخيب عليه سائل، ولا ينقصه نائل، ولا يبلغ مدحته قائل، فإني لم آتك بعمل صالح قدمته، ولا شفاعة مخلوق رجوتها، لكني أتيتك مقرا بالظلم و الإساءة على نفسي، أتيتك بلا حجة ولا عذر، فأسألك يا من هو كذلك ان تعطيني منيتي وتقلبني برحمتك ولا تردني محروما ولا خائبا يا عظيم يا عظيم يا عظيم أرجوك للعظيم أسألك يا عظيم أن تغفر لي الذنب العظيم، فإنه لا يغفر الذنب العظيم إلا العظيم " ولا تدخلها بحذاء ولا خف ولا تبزق فيها ولا تمتخط.
ENTERING THE KAABA
If you wish to enter the Kaaba, you may do so, but it is not obligatory unless you are a first-time pilgrim (ṣarūrā), for whom entering the Kaaba is essential. Before entering, perform ghusl (ritual purification), and when you step inside, say:
"O Allah (swt), You have stated in Your Book: 'Whoever enters it is safe.' So grant me safety from Your punishment and from the punishment of Hellfire."
Once inside, pray two units of prayer between the two pillars on the red stone slab. In the first unit, recite Surah Al-Fatiha followed by Surah Ha Meem Al-Sajdah. In the second unit, recite Surah Al-Fatiha and another chapter of the Quran. You may also pray in the corners of the Kaaba.
While inside, say:
"O Allah (swt), the house is Your house, the sanctuary is Your sanctuary, the safety is Your safety, and the servant is Your servant. You called me to Your house and honored me by letting me visit it. O Allah (swt), I am Your servant, seeking Your mercy and fearing Your punishment. I ask You to accept my efforts, forgive my sins, and include me among Your forgiven servants."
"O Allah (swt), whoever prepares, mobilizes, or readies themselves to visit a created being in hopes of their gifts, kindness, or rewards, here I am, O my Master, having prepared, mobilized, and readied myself for Your visit in hopes of Your generosity, kindness, and rewards. So do not disappoint my hope today, O You who never disappoints those who ask of Him, nor diminishes His blessings, nor can any speaker adequately praise Him. I have not come to You with any righteous deed I have performed, nor with any intercession from a created being I relied upon. Instead, I come to You acknowledging my wrongdoing and my misdeeds against myself. I come to You without any proof or excuse, so I ask You—O You who is as such—to grant me my wish and to return me with Your mercy, not deprived nor rejected. O Magnificent One, O Magnificent One, O Magnificent One, I beseech You for something magnificent. I ask You, O Magnificent One, to forgive me my great sins, for no one forgives great sins except the Magnificent One."
And Do not enter the Kaaba with shoes or sandals, and Do not spit or blow your nose inside.
[وداع البيت]
فإذا أردت وداع البيت فطف به أسبوعا، وصل ركعتين حيث أحببت من الحرم وائت الحطيم - والحطيم ما بين باب الكعبة والحجر الأسود - فتعلق بأستار الكعبة وأنت قائم واحمد الله عز وجل واثن عليه وصل على النبي صلى الله عليه وآله ثم قل " اللهم إني عبدك وابن عبدك، ابن أمتك، حملته على دوابك وسيرته في بلادك وأقدمته المسجد الحرام، اللهم وقد كان في أملي ورجائي أن تغفر لي فان كنت يا رب قد فعلت ذلك فازدد عني رضا وقربني إليك زلفى، وإن لم تكن فعلت يا رب ذلك فمن الآن فاغفر لي قبل أن تنأى داري عن بيتك غير راغب عنه ولا مستبدل به، هذا أو ان انصرافي إن كنت قد أذنت لي، اللهم فاحفظني من بين يدي ومن خلفي ومن تحتي ومن فوقي و عن يميني وعن شمالي حتى تقدمني أهلي صالحا، فإذا أقدمتني أهلي فلا تتخل مني وأكفني مؤونة عيالي ومؤونة خلقك. فإذا بلغت باب الحناطين فاستقبل الكعبة بوجهك وخر ساجدا واسأل الله عز وجل أن يتقبله منك ولا يجعله آخر العهد منك ثم تقول وأنت مار: " آئبون تائبون حامدون لربنا شاكرون، إلى الله راغبون، وإلى الله راجعون، وصلى الله على محمد وآله وسلم كثيرا، وحسبنا الله ونعم الوكيل.
[Farewell Prayer at the Kaaba]
When you wish to bid farewell to the House (Kaaba), perform seven circumambulations (Tawaf) and pray two rak'ahs (units of prayer) anywhere you like within the Haram. Then proceed to the Hatim—the area between the door of the Kaaba and the Black Stone. Cling to the Kaaba’s curtains while standing, praise Allah (swt), extol Him, and send blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family). Then say:
"O Allah (swt), I am Your servant, the child of Your servant, the child of Your maidservant. You carried me on Your mounts, allowed me to traverse Your lands, and brought me to Your Sacred House. O Allah (swt), it was within my hopes and expectations that You would forgive me. If, O my Lord (azj), You have already done so, then increase Your satisfaction with me and draw me closer to You. But if You have not yet done so, O my Lord (azj), then forgive me now, before my home becomes distant from Your House, while I remain neither disinclined to it nor seeking a substitute for it. This is the moment of my departure if You have granted me permission. O Allah (swt), protect me from in front of me, behind me, beneath me, above me, to my right, and to my left, until You return me safely to my family. And when You bring me back to my family, do not forsake me. Suffice me with the provisions I need for my family and protect me from the burdens of Your creation."
When you reach the Bab al-Hanatin (a gate near the Haram), turn your face toward the Kaaba, prostrate to Allah (swt), and ask Him to accept your pilgrimage and not make it your last visit to His House. Then, as you depart, say:
"Returning, repentant, praising, grateful to our Lord (azj), longing for Allah (swt) and returning to Him. Peace and blessings be upon Muhammad and his family in abundance. Allah (swt) is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs."
