There are three different ways of
performing Hajj.
Tamattu, Qiran , and 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.
