All right, so let's get into the fiqh
of it.
Some of the important definitions for you to
keep in mind because I'm going to be
using these words and you're going to hear
these words throughout the hajj process.
The first one is rukun.
Rukun means pillar and rukun literally means an
act that is obligatory and if it's not
done the hajj is invalid.
So for example, aratha is a rukun.
Aratha is a rukun of hajj.
If you don't have aratha, you don't have
hajj.
You can't do a sacrifice in place of
it because it's a rukun.
It's a pillar of hajj.
The hajj is invalid without it.
Tawaf al-ifadah, the main tawaf of hajj,
the tawaf of hajj.
That is a rukun of hajj so if
it's not done then the hajj is invalid
altogether.
So it's just something to keep in mind.
The second word is wajib.
Wajib means in this situation something that's obligatory
but if it's not done the hajj is
still valid and a person needs to offer
a sacrifice or a fidya.
So it's mandatory but it's not to the
degree of a rukun, a pillar.
A pillar cannot be substantiated by anything else.
Something that's wajib can be substantiated by something
else which is a sacrifice or a fidya
in its place.
You'll have a lot of that during and
after the hajj.
The third thing obviously is a sunnah.
A sunnah in this situation is something that
if a person does it they're rewarded.
If you don't do it you're not punished.
Your hajj is valid and there's no need
of fidya.
A lot of times people just bunch it
all up.
All of the rites of hajj into one
big thing.
So for example if they miss a sunnah
then they'll want to do a sacrifice and
that's not part of the sunnah.
They just keep on doing sacrifices and stuff
like that just in case because I don't
know where this falls.
So a sunnah which is a large group
of the acts associated with hajj is something
that's good to do but you don't have
to do anything if you're not able to
do it.
Then you have manasik.
Manasik refer to the rituals of the five
days of hajj in particular.
There are five principal days of hajj.
Now obviously your entire journey is hajj but
there are five days of hajj and the
manasik are the rituals associated with that.
Fidya is your makeup.
It's your compensation.
So if you miss something in hajj that
is wajib.
What did we say wajib was?
Something that's mandatory but it can be made
up if you miss it with something that's
with a fidya.
A fidya is the mandatory sacrifice done if
you miss a wajib.
So if you miss a wajib of hajj,
listen very carefully.
You have three options.
A fidya can be one of three things.
You can offer an animal sacrifice.
You can offer an animal sacrifice.
You'll actually see booths there like in some
of the malls or some of the areas
whatever it is to actually have that fulfilled.
I think there's a website, there's an app
for that as well.
It's like a sacrifice can be done but
allahi.org.
I know allahi.org does it but you
can offer a sacrifice.
That sacrifice does not have to be restricted
to Mecca or Medina.
Okay but a sacrifice has to be done
in that place.
A second thing is that you can fast
three days after you get home.
So you now owe for each one of
them if you don't want to do a
sacrifice or if you can't do a sacrifice.
You have to fast three days when you
return home.
The third thing is that you could feed
six needy people which is very easy to
do in hajj.
So you could actually buy six meals and
you could serve them to six needy people
in hajj.
All of these are permissible ways to deal
with a miswajib and there is no preference
in order.
Okay you guys understand that?
So you can choose any one of them
inshallah and they can be a form of
sacrifice in the presence of a miswajib or
something that requires a sacrifice in that regard.
Ihram, many people you know think about ihram
and they think about the garments themselves.
Ihram is a state of sanctity.
Ihram literally means to be in a state
of prohibition, a state of sanctity.
So it's the state that's mandatory for umrah
and for some parts of hajj and it
has its conditions and its prohibitions.
Miqat, the word miqat is the station from
which you will make your intention for umrah
and hajj.
Okay miqat is the place from which you
make your intention for umrah and or hajj.
The next three words that are on here
are the three possible forms of hajj.
Okay um tamattur and you're gonna you know
I remember at least the first time I
went to hajj and you know I guess
I don't 2006 the first time I went
to hajj I remember that people were fighting
over tamattur qiran, tamattur qiran.
It just broke out into a fight.
What do we do?
What type of hajj do we do?
And so on so forth.
There are three forms of hajj here or
three ways to go into hajj or enter
into the intention of hajj.
One of them is tamattur, qiran, and ifrad.
The way that you are most likely going
to do and the most preferred way is
tamattur.
Tamattur literally means pleasure, temporary, right?
It's with ease.
The reason why you do that is because
a person enters through the station.
So let's say you're going from Medina which
is where most of us will be, or
at least our group, you know my group
will be going through.
Many hajj groups will go through the station
of Dhul Hulayfa.
As you pass through or when you get
to the station to the miqat, you make
the intention for tamattur.
Now tamattur means that you will do umrah
and hajj with a break from your ihram
in between.
Why is that important to understand?
What that means is that I go in
with the intention of tamattur.
So as soon as I finish my umrah,
I've made the intention for umrah for now.
Once I finish my umrah, I can exit
my ihram until the days of hajj start.
This is especially necessary if you're going to
Mecca a few days before the actual hajj
days, that you'll do your umrah, you'll get
out of your ihram, you'll go through the
steps of exiting ihram, and then once the
hajj days start again, then you'll take up
the intention of hajj from the place that
you are in Mecca.
So this is the most preferred form of
hajj to enter with the intention of umrah,
do your umrah, take a break, get out
of your ihram, and then enter into ihram
once again on the 8th of Dhul Hijjah,
when the days of hajj start.
Now let's say that you're going to Mecca
on the 7th day of Dhul Hijjah, or
on the 8th day of Dhul Hijjah, and
it's impractical for you to go do umrah,
get out of your ihram, and then do
ihram again.
Qiran means combined.
So qiran is a form of hajj where
from the miqat, from the station, you make
the intention for both umrah and hajj with
one ihram, because it's too difficult or it's
inconvenient for you to exit ihram and go
back into ihram again.
So that's called qiran.
Ifrad is the hajj of the people of
Mecca, which is a hajj without umrah, which
is why it's called ifrad, which is singular.
So they simply make the intention for hajj
from where they are once the days of
hajj start, and they don't need to do
a umrah that is with it.
So the last two words here, hadi.
Hadi is the sacrifice that's due on the
day of Eid, if you're doing tamattu or
qiran.
So it's the it's the, you know, the
full animal sacrifice.
It's going to be done by somebody else,
most likely, you know, it's really difficult for
a person to do the sacrifice themselves.
You know, you can either, you'll either have
a coupon to verify it.
In the case of our group, we actually
know the person that does the slaughter.
So, you know, we pay that person, and
then that person slaughters on behalf of everyone
in the group, we get a phone call
that our sacrifice has been done.
So hadi is the sacrifice that's done on
the day of Eid, for the people that
are doing either tamattu or qiran.
Okay, now, talbiyah, obviously, is the chant, the
very famous chant, which you're going to be
making inshallah ta'ala throughout the days, and
throughout the processes of umrah and hajj.
