So we,
we start we left off with the
talking about the
the and describing how it's supposed to happen
and, how it's supposed to end and that
a person should,
not only not only stay in Arafah. It's
Wajid to stay in Arafah during the day
of Arafah, but the proof of Arafah, which
is a, the one that if you don't
do it,
your, Hajj is invalid, is to stay for
at least
a moment after the sun sets.
So oftentimes people will leave before the sun
sets.
Everything in Hajj people will try to jump
the gun for.
And there may be some difference of opinion,
admittedly, because I'm not like an encyclopedic
carrier of all of the opinions of Hajj.
But,
at any rate, you know, even if one
of the olema should have said that it's
to stay for the for for till the
sun sets, then it's important. It's worth heating.
So,
a person should stay in Arafa until the
sun sets, and then once the sun sets,
then you can leave.
And once the sun sets, the wukuf is
over, and you can leave. You've stayed for
the entire day. So if a person leaves,
they should go back before the sun rises.
Otherwise, they may miss their entire Hajj.
And so the fine distinction, you remember we
talked about that there's
something called wajib and there's something called fardhan
hajj. Right? And generally speaking, amongst many of
the ulama, there's no difference between the 2
of them. But in Hajj, the difference is
this is that the is
a stronger term than is that thing that
if you miss it, you miss your Hajj,
whereas wajib is that thing that if you
miss it, you have to give a a
a sacrifice in its stead,
in order to rectify the gap in the
Hajj. Otherwise, your Hajj is not valid. But
you can, conversely, you can validate the Hajj
by giving a sacrifice instead of of of
doing that thing. So what did we say?
We said being in Arafat
during the day of Arafat is wajib.
It's important. If you don't do it, the
Hajj is not valid, and it requires
rectification if you don't do it.
Being in Arafa for at least one instant
after the magrib time comes in is a
fard. That's something that cannot be rectified if
you skip it. So what happens is you're
an, you made dua the whole day. Right?
Remember
interesting that I think no. You were here
last week as well. So
most of the people that were here last
week aren't here this week. Most people okay.
But, you know, what did we say the
sunnah is of Arafat. Right? Is that you
should make dua for the entire day, and
it's better to be directly under the sun
rather than to be shaded. And it's direct
better to be standing than to be sitting.
Although neither of those I mean, a person
could theoretically sleep through the entire and it's
still valid, but the recommendation in sunnah of
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam is what? You
should stand rather than sit if you're able
to, and you should be directly in the
sun rather than being shaded.
And
and,
you should be making dua for the entire
time
preferably for the people who are able to
do it. Don't give yourself heatstroke or whatever.
And, you know, but it's difficult. It's not
easy.
Hajj last year was, like,
was was in October, the middle of October,
And, I, like, I was I almost got
burned, and I very rarely get burned
because of,
you know, stuff.
But, like, you know so, like, if you're
gonna, like, be out there and kill yourself,
you know, you may it may be worthy
of you to to take a dispensation. If
you wanna be hardcore, you can stand under
the tent or whatever.
Not everybody deals with the sun the same
way. So but those are those are those
are recommendations, and that's definitely what the messenger
did. So when it's done, what do you
do? Okay? Make sure that the Maghrib has
has set the sun has set over you
while you're inside the boundaries of Arafa. Okay?
And then after that, you should proceed with
dignity,
not in a dead rush.
Right? And this is in the old books
as well because people used to walk
or take camels or horses or whatever. Proceed
with dignity
from from Arafat to where?
To Musd Khalifa. Okay?
So,
do me a favor.
Can you go get the markers from the,
let's see. Yeah. Just get the markers.
So
you're supposed to proceed from Arafat to where
to Muzdalifa.
And then and then Muzdalifa
is practically speaking, out of all the parts
of Hajj, it's the most rugged.
There's very little in way of the way
of facilities there. Even out of fat, there's,
like, tents set up and things like that,
restrooms, bathrooms, whatever, and it's a big open
place.
Muzdalifah is a much smaller place than Arafat
is,
and, there's usually not really a whole lot
of
facility over there.
So if a person remember we we said
that, like, when you're going into Arafat, you
don't wanna eat and drink a whole lot
before,
just because you don't wanna waste the time
going to the bathroom,
or whatever. And,
and and and most is also the same.
And so
generally speaking, people will come on buses,
and there's, like, nothing there. You just lay
your body down.
If you have a cloth to spread, there's
sometimes rocks underneath it. It's very uncomfortable.
I usually will bring a pad with me,
a very thin pad that I will just
leave over there or throw away over there
when I'm done with it.
But there's not a whole lot over there.
And so when you arrive in Musdalifah,
right,
the sunnah is to pray
make adhan for and
pray and then make the adhan and the
for.
And then you pray the sunnahs. You pray
the sunnahs of both of them together after
that.
This is a sunnah for Musdalifa.
Even though the Maghrib time comes in where?
In Arafat, it's you're not supposed to pray
Maghrib over there. Okay? And even if the
time it takes you to get from,
Arafat to Muzdalifa,
you know, will take you into the isha
time,
Still, it's a sunnah to pray, magrib and
Isha where?
In Musdalifa.
Okay?
So,
what you do is you you get to
Musdalifa.
You unload your saddle bags or your your
whatever, your pack, whatever you're carrying with you.
And then,
after that, you know, if you need to
make, you make.
And,
what you do is that you you pray.
You make the for for
for and pray.
Didn't work. No, man. Seriously, which key? Like
there was a new I tried all of
them. It looks like there's a
new deadbolt on there.
Looks like something. It looks like there's something
new on there.
Anyhow. So
This key didn't work Yeah.
On the deadbolt.
Yeah. Go and try. Just for fun. Where's
your
The office. The the it's the the markers
are up on one of the the closest
bookshelf to the door.
Yeah.
Yeah. Why not? So
So yeah. So it's a sunnah to what?
It's sunnah to delay your your until
you arrive over there. And then it's a,
also a sunnah to stay for the rest
of the night in
in Musdali Fa. Okay?
It's a sunnah to stay all the way
until.
Right?
And then afterward to stay there until
before the sun rises and then to leave.
So there's a number of differences of opinion.
Imam Abu Hanifa, he said that the staying
in Muzdalifa is wajid. So if a person
skips staying the entire night in Muzdalifa and
tell Fajr, then that person has to give
a sacrifice.
Imam Malik and many of the other olema,
they said no. The wajid part of staying
in Musdalifah is just enough time to unload
your stuff and pray your.
If you do that much and then leave,
the wajid part is done. The rest of
it is a sunnah. So there's a difference
of opinion.
So that's why that's why they pay you
the big bucks.
So
thank
you so much.
So let's make a little chart.
And if you're listening at home, you can't
see the chart, so you should probably come
to class next time.
So
you have Mecca right here.
Okay.
And then you have
directly,
connected to it.
Right? You have the 3.
Okay?
All of this is what? This is all.
Okay? And then you have connected to that
is.
Okay?
And then at some distance,
there's some distance in the middle there that
there's
no mansek.
There's there's no place where any any of
the sacred rituals happen. And then at the
at the other end of it is what?
Arafaz.
Okay?
So,
like,
this distance from here to, like, here
is about
7 miles or so.
This is an approximation, by the way. Okay?
And then, like, this distance is maybe, like
like, 3 miles
or, like, let's say, more like 2 and
a half.
And then the same same width from here
to here and the same from from here
to here. Right? So at and at the
heart of Mecca, you have what?
You have the Kaaba.
Right?
So you will go
from Arafat, you will go to Muzadifa, and
you will pray what? You'll pray Madhur Ben
Isha, like we said. Once you're done praying
Madhur Ben Isha,
then you will
it's a sunnah to use that night for
worship. It's also a sunnah to use that
night to rest a little bit because you'll
need it the next day will be a
very
grueling and,
a very grueling and difficult day
that requires a lot of energy.
And then,
it's also similar to gather the the stones
that you're going to use to stone the
which
is something that we haven't talked about yet.
So you just gather stones. Okay? And we'll
we'll talk about that a little bit more.
So what happens? You stay
you stay in Muzdalifa until when?
Before
No. Until before the sun rise. It's a
sunnah to pray Fajr in Musdalifa.
Okay?
In the in the beginning time. And then
just like Arafat had
a wukuf. Right?
That there is a standing Arafat.
Just like that, Muzdalifa also has a wukuf.
And the wukuf of Muzdalifa is from after
the time you pray fajr until the the
time the sun rises or slightly before. This
is also a difference of opinion amongst your
ulema. Imam Hanifa considered it Ow.
Burn
myself.
Imam Hanifa considered it a a sunnah.
So anyone at home who's annoyed with my
snippy comments, you just got your revenge, I
burned myself.
Everyone should be happy, Allah. I'll keep everyone
happy, inshallah.
So
so what happens is the Imam al Khalifa,
he says that you should stay until burn
myself again. I'm gonna stop doing that.
He says that you should stay over there
until when?
Until right after the sun rises.
The the the deal for Abu Hanifa is
that this is the the ancient custom of
this is the ancient custom of the Arabs.
The dalil for for Malik is what?
The for Malik is that the,
the prophet,
there's a hadith of his that he said
that these Arabs of Jahiliya used to consider
it
a a necessary part of Hajj to stay
until
the sun rises, and it's not a necessary
part of Hajj. So,
go against them. At any rate, it's somewhat
of a minor detail in the sense that
it's really different to 5 minutes.
Right?
But
that's when you should stay tall. Everybody considers
that even the sunnah,
part of the fulfilled
by staying sometime after Fajr. You pray Fajr
in the first time. From the first time
in Fajr until the last time in Fajr
is almost like an hour and a half.
So,
you stay sometime, and then you're allowed to
get up and go. Right? So you stand
and you make dua for some time.
Okay. So remember we said that the the
7th day of is called
And the 8th day of Dhul Hijjah is
called Yom Taruya.
And the 9th day of Dhul Hijjah is
called what?
Yom al Arafa. Now that the fajr has
risen
on the 10th day of Dhul Hijjah, the
10th day of Dhul Hijjah is called Yom
al Nahar. Okay?
Yom An Nahar. Nahar means immolation,
sacrifice. Okay? One of the meanings of it
is is sacrifice. Right? So yomun nahara, if
you're not in Hajj, it's called If
you're in Hajj, you're on a separate track.
You don't get an
because you're doing Hajj, which is good for
you. That's also pretty cool. Okay?
So it's not
for the people who are not in Hajj.
The people who are in Hajj, what is
it called?
Okay?
There's a difference of opinion amongst the olema
as to whether the person in Hajj is
required to do an udhiyah, required to do
a a a sacrifice for the Eid. I
believe the the Hanafi say that it's recommended
for that person to do so still if
they're able to afford it. I think the
Jamhur says that they're not even so they're
not even, it's not even recommended for them
to do do so because
the sacrifice of Eid is called the and
the sacrifice of Hajj is called Hadi. Right?
There's different rules for the sacrifices of Hajj.
So for the person who's in Hajj, if
they wanna sacrifice an animal, they should do
the sacrifice of Hajj, not that sacrifice of
id. This is somewhat of a
kind of a philosophical point because at the
end of the day, you're gonna sacrifice the
animal anyway, but, it is something worth mentioning.
So Yom Nara is the day of immolation,
And as the name suggests, you're gonna probably
sacrifice something that day. Okay?
So there are there the sunnahs of Yom
An Nahr are what?
They are,
first that you stone.
Okay? So
there okay. You see those 3 kind of,
like, wall like things that I I drew
in Mina. Right? At the end of Mina,
right, one end of Mina is connected to
Muzdalifah, the other end of Mina is where
Mecca starts, the city of Mecca starts. Okay?
So there are 3 they used to be
pillars not too long ago. Now they turn
them into big walls. Right? And the actual
or and they call they're called the jamarat.
Right?
Jamarat is singular. Jamarat is the the the
the plural. There's 3 jamarat. Right? There are
these basically places that you stone.
The the the jamra is neither the pillar
nor the wall. The jamra is actually a
a a a an area inside the inside
or on the ground
where the stones have to land, essentially, whether
there's a pillar there or not.
And so, basically, what they did was that
in the old days, they used to have,
like, these obelisks, you know, like the Washington
Monument,
that they would stone, these pillars that they
would stone. So it's a target for people
who are throwing the rocks. And if if
if you hit that that target, the rock
will inevitably fall within that within that circle.
Okay?
Now in order to,
in order to facilitate
in order to facilitate
large numbers of people stoning at the same
time, because there was a lot of crowding
that would happen over there. Instead of having
a obelisk, they just made it like a
I shaped wall, You know? Like a like
a like a eye shaped wall.
Not like the letter I, but like the
the like the eyes of a person.
They just kinda start. They open up a
little bit and they close. And so it's
a very difficult target to miss. And then
they have these funnels where the stones will
will will basically
funnel into the place that they're supposed to
land.
So,
at any rate, these 3 jamarat are the
places where,
Sayidna Ibrahim alayhis salam, when he was going
to sacrifice Sayidna Ismail, his son,
these are the 3 places he was tempted
or his family was tempted,
to not go through with following the commandment
of Allah
And so these places, say, Shaitan
stoned,
you know, say Ibrahim
stoned Satan. So we commemorate this.
We commemorate this,
act of his
by,
by by stoning those pillars, which is gonna
happen for the rest of the days of
Hajj that we described.
It comes in the athaar of the messenger
of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
that a person stones their you'll stone a
total of somewhere between 49 70 times.
Okay? Between 4970
times. Okay? That with each stoning, with each
stone that a person throws,
at the Jamarat,
Allah will forgive such a sin.
Allah will forgive such a sin that if
a person were to give account for it,
they would have been thrown into hellfire because
of it,
which is a big deal.
It's a big deal that a person does
that. Obviously, throwing a stone is not like
a it's not an act of piety in
the sense that, like, you know, like, there
are people who throw stones all the time
and it doesn't really do anything for them
spiritually.
Right? But it's the the the the feeling
in the nia with which a person does
it that that that that will, you know,
has the ability to make it like that.
Because Allah, if he accepts it,
you can do a act properly.
If you don't do it properly, he's not
gonna accept it. But if you do it
properly, it doesn't mean he's going to accept
it necessarily. So a person should have a
very humble,
intention
and and pray that Allah accepts because if
he accepts from it, this is the reward
that a person such as sin that would
have destroyed a person and and dragged them
into the hellfire on the day of judgment,
which each stone such as sin will be
forgiven for a person.
And this is something that, like, you know
I guess you gotta try to internalize the
rituals of Hajj also. So one of the,
they said to me, they said they they
they said, like, one time,
in I heard,
from them.
They said, like, when you throw the stones,
right, what it is? What is it? It's
like, imagine a man's going out with with,
like, his wife. You know?
And then
she catches him looking at somebody else.
And she's like, who were you looking at?
What is he gonna do? So, no. No.
No. I wasn't looking at anyone. Oh, that
girl? No. She's ugly. I I no. She's
definitely not as beautiful as you are. Right?
That's what it is. Right?
All those things that a person a person
looked looked at other than Allah
and that that had expectations from other than
Allah and that you sought happiness in other
than
Allah Right? All of those things
that a person should say, Allahu Akbar Allah
is greater and you cast a stone at
it. Obviously, the wall is not literally shaitan
and the wall is not literally the duniya,
but you have that nia with it. And
there's something about that those places. You know?
A person feels a little bit of hamasa
and a little bit of, like,
like, fervor when they they stone it. There's
just a bit emotional. Some more simple people,
it overwhelms them. So you always see, like,
Sayeed, like, in the old days, get up
on the pillar and start beating with their
with their sandal and things like that, which
is not a sunnah nor is it an
act of piety. But, you know, sometimes people
do these things out of the sincerity of
their feelings, and you could see that even
though it's not really, like, the right thing
to do, but you can you can see
that there's some, you know, some sincerity there
at any rate. What they lack in fiqh,
they make up for an art.
So accept. But that's that's the the feeling
with which you should stone. So on the
Yom Alehn, the first thing a person should
do, right, they read salatul fajr and and
Muzdalifa,
and they stayed there and made du'a until
before the sun rises
for however long they wish to or until
the sun rises for however long they wish
to. And then once the sun rises, you
start moving. You start moving
back toward Mina.
Right? And on this day, you stone the
Jamrutul Aqaba. Right? There are 3 there are
3 pillars.
Okay?
There are there are,
3, 3, pillars. There's the jam there's the
jamratul kubra.
There's the Jamaratul Usta,
and then there's the,
the Jamaratul Aqaba.
There's the the the the the great pillar
and the middle pillar
and then the
Aqaba pillar.
Okay? So the great pillar is the first
one. The wusta, the middle one is the
middle one, obviously.
And then the last one is called aataba.
The reason it's called aataba is the aataba.
Alright?
Is the word for Arabic, and Arabic is
for heel because it's the back part of
you. So aqaba is the name word for
the the literally the heel of Mina, the
back part of Mina. Because once you cross
that last pillar, then you're in Mecca because
that's the boundary. That last pillar is the
boundary between,
between you and Mecca Mucarama. Okay?
So on the day of Yom Alekhar, you
only stone
how many of those?
1st.
No.
You only stone 1. Which one do you
stone?
The last one.
The heel. Yeah. Octaba.
Okay? You only stone the last one. So
there are 44 majors there there there are
4 major, things, right, that that we wanna
do on the Yom Alejara. Okay?
One is what? The stoning.
Okay?
The second is then after after the stoning
is done, if you have an animal
that you can go and slaughter. You you
show them your token that you bought an
animal and you can slaughter it with your
own hand if you want.
If not, then,
then the government will slaughter it for you
or,
the groups that go, they have their own
private people who do the slaughter process
for a person.
Any one of those are fine. If you
go to the government slaughterhouse and slaughter your
own animal for yourself, you will come back
with a crimson red eharam
soaked in blood, and it will walk, like,
several miles in the
blaring heat before you can find any way
of, like, cleaning yourself or whatever. So just
letting you know if you're,
you wanna do it on on your own.
Good for you. I know some people who
do it. Good for you. Okay?
Yeah. So if somebody else flutters, do you
have to say the name? No.
The merely the intention merely the intention for
slaughtering on behalf of somebody suffices.
Yeah.
So
that's the second that's the second thing, which
is what?
The first thing was what?
Stoning. Stoning. What was the second thing?
Sacrifice. Sacrifice.
Okay. What's the third?
The third thing is the third thing is
then what happens is a person will then
shave their head.
Not everyone will shave their head. Who shouldn't
shave their head?
The men. The women. Yes.
Okay. Not only it's a sunnah to shave
your head for for men,
but it suffices if a person cuts,
like a finger section length from every hair.
Okay? The the shortening of the hair is
called qasr and the shaving of the head
is called halq. Right? The hadith in which
the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
said, oh, Allah, have have mercy on the
people who who shave their heads. And then
someone's like, how and also on the people
who, shortened their hair. The prophet then responded,
Allah have mercy on the people who shave
their heads. And they said, oh, You Rasoolah,
how about the also the people who shortened
their hair too? So and then the Nabi
repeated a 3rd time, Allah have mercy on
the people who shaved their heads. And that
person, 3rd time says, You Rasool Allah, also
on the people who shorten their hair too?
He said, yes, also on the people who
shorten their hair. Okay? So the the the
the the even though it's not a requirement,
but, the minimal requirement is that you
remove a a a finger section length, so
like an inch from every hair on the
head.
That's the minimum requirement. But the sunnah is
to shave your head. That's what the messenger,
his dua, is for those people. So don't
be a hater and be like, oh, I
gotta, like, whatever. If you're gonna go, go
the whole way. Right? Just go shave your
head, inshallah.
Not for women. It's haram for women.
It's a sin for a woman to shave
her head. Okay? So for women, the sunnah
is to remove that finger length worth of
worth of hair, not any more than that,
from the just the tips of their from
the tips of each hair and, that's that's
it. They will receive the reward of the
people who shave their head from the men.
The equivalent reward, they'll receive it because that's
the sunnah for their for for for them,
and that's what they'll receive. Is it the
majority of the hair or it's all hair?
All of them. Because some hair may be
shorter than 1 1 inch. If your hair
is shorter than that 1 inch, then you
it's it's a obligation to shave it.
Then you don't have a choice.
Alright.
So
so that's that's the third thing.
Okay?
The third thing. And so these three things,
I wish there was a Turk here because
they all rhyme in Turkish,
but there isn't. So if you're Turkish, you
can call me up, and I'll tell you
the rhyming way of saying all of them.
Who teaches
and taught it to me. The the tash,
bash, and tarash.
Tas means stone,
bash means head that you sacrifice the animal,
and then tarash means to. It's a Persian
word meaning to cuts cut or shave.
So you do those three things. And the
4th sunnah to do on the, the yomun
nahir is what? Is Tawaf al Ifada.
Now remember we talked about there are 4
arkan of Hajj. There are 4 pillars of
Hajj. If you don't do them, there's no
way to make your Hajj up except for
by doing them. Okay?
And then one of those was Tawaf al
Ifada. It's one of 3 tawafs of Hajj.
Okay? So the tawaf al Ifada is a
tawaf that you do after you after you
come back from Arafat. Okay? That tawaf of
Hajj is a ruken of Hajj. That's the
most important part of Hajj.
Okay? And a person will will after having
shaved their head, then they'll go and,
perform that tawaf.
Okay? This tawaf is okay. So when you
shave your head, a question should come up.
What question should come up?
How can you shave your head if you're
in Iran?
Right? And the answer to that question is
that that when when you shave your head,
you have completed almost all of the the
rituals of Hajj. And so the shaving the
head is the way that you release yourself
from your ihram.
So there are 2 releases from ihram. There's
what they call
and a tahalul al akbar. Right? Just like
haram and halal are 2 opposites. Right? So
Ihram, the opposite of Ihram is tahalul.
Right? Ihram is a state in which things
that are normally halal for you become haram,
and tahalul is when that those things become
halal again. So there's a lesser tahalul and
there's a greater tahalul. The lesser tahalul is
affected by shaving your head on the day
of Yom Nihar.
Okay? It's affected by shaving your head. After
that, all of the
all of the, what you call, all of
the, prohibitions
of
ihram are lifted from you, except for 1,
which is the prohibition against sexual relations. You
can wear stitched clothing. You can put on
your deodorant.
You can wear,
you know, you can you can put on
deodorant. You can, you know,
straighten out your your, whatever, shave the the
hair that's up on your cheek or whatever.
One of the very sad things to see
is that people,
they they they've been in Hajj for a
couple of days. Their beard grows really quickly
and they look so pious.
The first thing they do, they they hug
each other, and they congratulate one another on
on having a accepted Hajj, and then they
go shave their beard.
I guess it's better than going to Vegas,
but you know what I mean. Yeah. Anyhow,
This is another prophet, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
keep it on your face, inshallah. It's good.
Many people are afraid that their wives are
not gonna like it. Don't worry. They'll they'll
see the nurah on your face. They'll like
it, inshallah.
So,
and don't blame your wife for what you
should do as a man anyway.
The the the
so you you all those prohibitions are lifted
except for what? The prohibition on?
Sexual relations of any kind. Okay?
So,
what a person will do then is then
after shaving their head, they'll head to the
Haram Sharif so you can take a shower.
It's actually mustahab. It's recommended to keep wearing
the 2 pieces of cloth that you wore
in Arafa on that day. I have to
admit I've not been able to bring myself
to do so because they've been very sweaty
and dirty.
So yeah. So but it is it is
mentioned in the 5th books that it's it's
it's it's it's recommended that a person go
and make tawaf of the house of Allah
in those two pieces of cloth. You can
wear other clothes with it. You can wear
a cover your head, wear a hat again
and stuff like that,
but, but you should carry those 2 pieces
of cloth with you because they're a sign
of your the difficulty that you went through
for the Hajj.
But at any rate, now
a person will make tawaf tawaf alifada. Okay?
It's a sunnah to do it on 10th
of Dhul Hijjah.
Okay?
It's not always possible to do it on
the 10th of Dhul Hijjah because the the
Haram Sharif is, like, jam packed, The the
masala haram, the Kaaba, everybody's trying to do
their tawaf on that day at that time.
So it's not gonna be possible for everyone.
So there's a difference of opinion how long
you have to do it. Imam al Hanifa
says you have the 3 days after
10th of Dhul Hijjah to do it as
well. Imam Malik says you have all the
way until Muharram.
You have till when?
You have all the way till Muharram to
to to to to do it. If you
delay past Muharram or if you pay delay
past the the the 3 days after the
Hijjah, then you'll have to give a sacrifice
for having delayed it for too long according
to the imams with their respective dates. Okay?
But, you know, usually you can get it
done by then. If you're going on Hajj,
remember
this. Okay? If you're going on Hajj and
you don't wanna jostle the crowds, remember 11
at 11.
What does 11 at 11 mean? Okay? The
11th of Dhul Hijjah, the night 11 PM
on the night of 11th of Dhul Hijjah.
So you don't go on 10th, go the
next day, and go out at 11 o'clock
PM. For some reason, this is like a
lull in people's attendance in the Haram.
Right? You will go you will make tawaf
very easily. There's like a, like 3 hours.
And then basically, what it is is all
the people who wanted to go quickly are
done,
and all the slackers haven't showed up yet.
You know? So you have, like, literally a
3 hour window. Before you go before it,
it will be
jam packed filled. Right? And you go, like,
you know, like, maybe, like, 3, 4 in
the morning, bam. It's gonna get filled again,
like, jam packed. But, like, that 11 at
11, for some reason or another, it just
works out really good.
So that's just
a little kind of pro tip.
Last 2 years, I got to do my
you know, on the day of,
on the on the day of 10th of
the Hijab, but I did 11 at 11
the first time I went on Hajj and
it worked out swimmingly.
So that's a choice that you have, but
it's the optimal time to do it is,
on 10th of the Hijjah. If you're able
to, good for you. If you're not, I
wouldn't cry about it because it's not it's
not, like, farther away from Hajj. Right? So
these are the four things that are sunnah
on the day of Hajj. What are they?
Can someone name them in order for me,
please?
So,
the Jamarat the Rami of Aqaba. Yeah. Rami
Jamarat Al Aqaba. Okay. How many stones? 7.
7. Okay. So you just grab the stone
in your hand, you throw it and say
Allahu Akbar once it leaves your hand but
before it hits the target. Right?
And then and then the the the the
the the what's the what's the second one?
No. Not happening.
Alright. You do your your sacrifices you do
your sacrifices. Then after that, what do you
do? Shave. Shave your head. And then after
that, if you're able to? The tawaf. Make
the tawaf alifada on that day if you're
able to. Now Is there a side to
go with that tawaf? Okay. So if you
if you are doing ifrad, right, then you
already did the sai of Hajj with your
tawaf of lukudum.
So there's no sai with that. So we're
gonna, right now, go through the entire ifrad
and then we'll talk about how the other
ones are different. Okay? So, yeah, you just
make the tawaf and that's it. Right? So
now if you're if you have 4 arkan
of Hajj, what are they? Right? Haram, check.
Right?
The you did with the check. The
you did that check.
And,
check. You're done with the you're done with
the most important parts of Hajj at this
point. Okay? Once you've done the tawafal, the
tawafal,
then it's the then all of the rules
of ihram are released.
So if you went to Hajj with the
missus or whatever, what you do is your
own business at that point.
Just make sure you get a room and
don't inconvenience
weird, like,
people are, like, trying to get into their
rooms and knocking
this, that, and the other thing, and then,
like, an hour later, a man and wife
come out of the room.
No. Don't do that.
So but at any rate, or at least
get permission from your roommates before you do
it, which is awkward, so just don't do
it.
You know,
you're anyway,
there's some stories. There's respectable people here. We're
not gonna tell them right now.
So
so
what do you do for the rest of
the Hajj? There's still there's still,
3 more days of Hajj left. Okay?
A couple of things.
One is
the night
the night because remember we said that during
Hajj, the night comes after the day rather
than coming before the day. Okay?
The night, it's a sunnah to spend the
night in Mina.
Okay? It's a sunnah to spend the night
in Mina. Okay?
Imam Hanifa considered to be merely a sunnah.
Imam Malik considered it to be actually a
wajib of Hajj that you're you'll have to
give a sacrifice if you're not able to
complete this. The
at any rate spent his nights in Mina,
but you have to spend the night in
Mina. What does that mean? That means that
at least 50 plus 1 percent of the
night has to spend stay in Mina.
So the night starts at Maghrib time and
it ends at the Adhanafajr.
So you just do the calculation in the
middle,
you know, how much of that can you
be gone? How much of it do you
need to be present if you need to
go out during that time? But a person
is best,
served by being cautious with their time regarding
that. Okay? Where is it in there?
Where the where the Jamarata.
Right? There's tents and everything over there for
the Hijaz to stay. Wasn't the furthest one
out? The Aqaba. Jamarata Al Aqaba is one
of the three stone pillars, which is
one part of, like, a very large Mina.
Okay. Right? The large Mina Mina is very
large and is filled with tents and all
that.
Ideally, all the Hujajah would stay there. Not
all of them practically end up staying there,
but a majority of them end up staying
there. Okay?
So what do you do? Once you've done
the tawafel ifaba, you hike it back to
Mina, okay, and stay the night over there.
Okay?
Then for the next 3 days,
what do you do?
You will,
so the stoning of the stoning of the
Jamrut Al Aqaba, the time for it is
after the sun rises.
Okay? And it lasts all the way until
Maghrib.
If you're not able to do it before
Maghrib because of illness or because of some
other reason, then you can make it up
at nighttime.
And if you miss the makeup time at
nighttime, then you have to give the you
have to, sacrifice an animal to make up
for having missed it.
Similarly, for the next 3 days, what you'll
do is you'll enter and you'll stone the
first pillar.
Alright?
Right? You'll enter. Right? So the Yomun Nahr
is done. Okay. Yomun Nahr, 10th of Dhul
Hijjah is done. Now you wake up on
the 11th of Dhul Hijjah. Right? So these
are the 3 ayaam of Mina, the 3
days of Mina. So day of Mina 1,
day of Mina 2, day of Mina 3.
Okay?
So the day of Mina 1, what do
you do? The time for stoning starts at
high noon,
not at the time of sunrise, at high
noon. Okay? And it it's so it's a
little bit more cramped of a time from
high noon until the time the maghrib
comes in. If if if a person is
sick or old or unable to jostle the
crowds during the daytime, then the time from
magrib until the next fajr is a makeup
time,
to make up whatever you missed. And then
if you miss it at that time, then
you have to, again, give a sacrifice for
having missed stoning. But, ideally, what will a
person do? A person will
stone after high noon. Right?
And if you delay a little bit, the
day gets a little cooler. All the people
who are
all the people who are, like, you know,
like, super gung ho are gone by then.
It's a little bit little bit easier, but
don't delay it so much that you're, like,
running to the thing because you're, like, 10
minutes late and you're like, oh, shoot. Right?
So, you know, kinda in the middle. So
what do you do? You go. You stone
the first pillar 7 times. Same thing. Throw
the rock, say, and,
and then and then it hits the target,
and you do that 7 times. Okay? Then
you go stand off to the side,
and you're supposed to make dua the amount
of time that it would take you to
read Surah Al Baqarah.
Face the and make for some. This is
the sunnah the prophet
did this, and Muslims still do this to
this day. So maybe, like, 45 minutes or
so, 50 minutes, 45 minutes. Okay?
Then if you don't do the dua, it's
still valid, but this is the the optimal
way of performing it. Then you go and
stone the 2nd pillar 7 times,
and then you stand to the side for
the time it takes to to read Surah
Al Imran, so maybe 35 minutes,
you know,
and may for that amount of time for
whatever you want, for yourself, for your loved
ones, for the ummah, for the masjids, for
everything. Right?
And then you stone the third one, and
you just keep moving. You don't stop to
make dua at that time. Okay?
And then the rest of the time that
you're in Mina, you just go back to
your tent, you chill,
you, read Quran, you make dua, you eat,
drink, be nice to other people.
It's a time of enjoyment, but,
also a time of worship, you know.
So you don't have to stress yourself out,
but you just keep you know, pray all
of your 5 prayers. And then to the
Haram to pray? You can go to the
Haram if you want to, but there's more
reward in staying in Mina in those days
because the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam stayed in
Mina. He did he only went to the
Haram to do his and then he came
straight back and stayed stayed in Mina. Right?
So those 3 days, there's more reward in
staying in Mina than there is to go
to the Haram. Many people go to the
Haram just because they wanna see the Kaaba
and stuff like that because they won't get
a whole lot of chance otherwise.
But as far as reward is concerned, the
reward isn't staying in mina at that time.
So there's you do that one day. You
do that 2 days. You do that 3
days. After the 3rd day when you stone
when you're done stoning,
then your your your hedge is almost totally
done.
Okay?
So,
there's some things we'll caveats we'll talk about
probably next week, but,
a couple of things regarding the stones. The
stones should be the size of, like, a
chickpea. They shouldn't be big. You shouldn't be
throwing, like, bricks or whatever at the thing.
It's bad. Okay? And but the they shouldn't
be too small either. They say, like, the
the the size of a
a finger section. Okay?
And, like, at the smaller end, it should
be the size of maybe a garbanzo bean
or a chickpea,
and they shouldn't be much larger than the
finger section either. It's for it to be
too big, and it's invalid if it's too
small. If you're just throwing, like, a really
it's like a grain of sand at a
thing. It doesn't it's not valid. So it
should be minimally the size of a chickpea.
How many stones will you need?
Is it 7 each time?
7 each
Mhmm. 21
plus 2, 41, 42, plus 7.
Go ahead. 949.
If you stone all 3 days All 3
days? Yeah. Then how many do you need?
1st day, you send only stone. 7? And
then there's 3 days of stoning all 3.
6 and 3. Yeah. How many you need?
No. There's only 3 more days or 2
more. 3 more days. 70.
You guys, Americans are horrible, man.
Like, god bless America and stuff, but, like,
Americans do Hajj in such a
bad way. 7 70.
70. Okay? 70. 70.
Okay? You you stone
just the last pillar the first day, so
that's 7.
And then you stone all 3 for 3
days, which is 21 times 3 is 63.
So it comes out to 70. Okay? So
and where is the sunnah to gather the
stones from? It's a sunnah to gather the
stones on the night of Muzdalifa. Remember the
Muzdalifa where we started the lesson from? So
that night, one of the things it's a
sunnah to do is you go and gather
the stones. One of the things I advise
is that a person take, like, a a
cutout bottle of water and store the stones
in it and then wash the stones as
well because oftentimes people go up into the
mountain area where you'll find the stones and
they urinate and things like that. So you
don't wanna keep it, like,
ritually impure stones with you and, like, it's
not good. They should be pure. Right? If
you're throwing them at the shaitan, they'll hurt
more when they're pure.
So
a person will will do that. Okay? So
the last thing I wanted to talk about
today before,
going on
is
that there is an option for what they
call
means to go quickly as well.
If you want us okay. So there's the
Yom Naha where you stone 7, everyone gotta
do that.
Everyone has to stone
stone the 1st day of Mina and the
2nd day of Mina. If after the 2nd
day of Mina you wanna bounce,
it's permissible to do so. But there's a
way of doing it. Okay? The way of
doing it is what? Is that you have
to stone all 3 pillars
and then you have to leave from from
Mina,
leave from Mina and go into Makkah or
leave from the boundaries of Mina from any
one of its sides and be out of
Mina before the sun sets.
If you're in Mina while it when the
sun sets, then you're obliged to stone for
the 3rd day. So if you wanna bounce,
you gotta bounce, you gotta be out, you
have to be beyond the the the the
aqaba pillar, the last pillar,
and be beyond that when the sun when
the sun sets. If you're still in Mina,
then you're obliged to hang out and stone
the 3rd day. You're obliged to stay that
night in Mina, and you're also obliged to
stone the 3rd day. The other thing is
that the the the there Hajj is like
Hajj is not an individual thing. It's a
thing that the ummah does together. Okay? So
there's an amir of hajj.
Okay?
The amir of Hajj is either the sovereign
ruler of whatever land is
in at that time
or his appointed,
appointed, representative.
Usually, the king doesn't do Hajj on his
own. Usually, he appoints a representative to be
the emir of Hajj.
It's haram for the emir of Hajj to
leave after 2 days. He and a group
of people have to stay and make sure
that someone in the ummah stones on that
3rd day.
Stoning on that 3rd day is a farad
kifaya. It's a,
an obligation
that some part of the this ummah discharges
on the behalf of others.
So if you stay for that 3rd day,
there's great reward in it because usually, you'll
see all the people from the rich countries,
they'll they'll bounce. They'll be gone after 2
days. Right? So if you only stone 2
days, how many stones do you need?
Minus 21.
Go ahead.
49?
Yeah. 49. Right? So 7 for the 1st
day and then 21 for the second, 21
for the third. Okay?
So so so you can bounce if you
want to. Like, if you feel like you're
getting really sick. Like, the first time I
went to Hajj. Right?
I wanted a stone on the,
I I wanna stay in stone on the
3rd day. It rained so hard. It was
flooding. I was like, no problem. Cool. I'll
just go up on the mountain and sleep
on a rock. Right? Then when I saw
there is
the the manhole for the sewer, the water
is welling up from it, you know, because,
the sewer system cannot handle the flood.
I thought, okay. This is gonna invalidate all
all our prayers because there's, like, impurity everywhere,
and the prayer is more,
is is a higher commandment actually than Hajj
is. So I said, okay. Let's go. Okay?
But Allah gave me the by his father,
he gave me the tofift. This last time
that I went on Hajj, we actually stayed
we actually stayed the 3rd day and stoned
on the 3rd day.
And a person who does that with the
niyyah of doing it on behalf of the
entire ummah, it's hoped that a person will
receive great reward for it as well. A
person throwed every stone that they throw, Allah
will forgive a sin that would have been
something that would have destroyed them in the
hellfire.
And so that's something if you have the
to do it, why not? Why not? And
the people who do it,
There's no sin in leaving early as well.
But if you have the himna so if
you're, like, really sick or you're really out
of it or you're with your family and
it's difficult for them or whatever, then go
ahead and bail after 2 days. If you're
able to stay for the 3rd 3 days,
why not? It it's good for you, inshallah.
It's good. There's more reward in staying there
than there is in bouncing,
even though there's no problem, so to speak,
with with either course of action.
So
so that's that.
The the last thing I'll mention, just to
round it up, is that a person's Hajj
at this point is over. There's only one
ritual left to do in Hajj, and that's
the 3rd tawaf. We said there are 3
tawafs of Hajj. 1 is the tawafl qudum
when a person arrives.
The second is the tawafl ifadah, which is
after which is the fard the tawaf of
Hajj. The third is called
means farewell. It's a farewell tawaf. And that
a person the last thing they do when
they're,
when they're in Makamukarama
before leaving is not shopping
or, you know,
hanging out with friends and having memorable times,
you know, meeting people and making friends and
whatever. But the last thing they should do
is make
a tawaf, and then from there, they should
just leave directly.
Okay? Or as much as they're able to.
As much as they're able to. Obviously, you
can't just leave directly. You can't do anything
directly in Hajj. Everything takes, like, a whole
lot of time because there's so many people
there. But as far as what's in your
ability, it should be like you should be
delay that. The last thing that you do
before you leave as much as possible is
to make tawaf. Okay? And then
a person leaves, their Hajj is complete at
that point, their Hajj is complete. So
next week, we'll talk about the penalties for
when things go wrong,
how how how to fix fix them, and
we'll talk about what the different ways of
making Hajjar. We talked about ifrad. We'll talk
about how the other different ways of Hajjar,
how they'll procedurally be different now that we're
familiar and oriented with what all the different
rituals are.
Is there any question? Quick question? So so
after, like, a thoughtful with with the Mhmm.
Can you still go and pray?
No. You're not supposed to. You're supposed to.
That should be the last thing. Just waiting
on
Theoretically speaking, you should you should you should
leave if you can by then.
There's there's 2. There's a Hanafi
considers
to be a
to be wajib.
But he his his his is very relaxed
in terms of how it's supposed to be.
So, yes, you can do all that stuff,
and it doesn't affect the validity of.
Imam Malik doesn't he considers it to be
a sunnah. If you don't do it, it
doesn't require anything to rectify your Hajj, but
it should be the basically, the last thing
that you you do.
Yeah. Everything after that should be geared toward
going
going away.
In regards to cutting and trimming the hair
Mhmm.
We'll talk about it tomorrow. How. Or we'll
talk about it next week. We can go
about that because I get it. We'll talk
about that next week. Next week in
up.
