The speakers stress the importance of finding one's authority and trusting their hedge in hedging, as it is a combination of physical and financial capabilities. They advise against leaving the country and avoiding fraud, as it is prohibited, and provide examples of how to avoid embarrassment. The speaker emphasizes the importance of shaving and trimming for a better look, memorizing the number ofiva points, and avoiding clumsy and clumsy behavior. Water and walking are also important for preventing getting sick during hedging processes.

hamdulillah Isla is niram
00:00:08 -->
00:00:14
Al Hamdulillah Al Hamdulillah, Camden County, Ebony, Allah Bullock,
00:00:27 -->
00:00:29
salam, ala rasulillah. hawala, Ali, he was so
00:00:30 -->
00:00:31
bad
00:00:32 -->
00:01:09
at hamdulillah. We've gathered here today, as you all know, to do a brief hedge class. And this is
obviously not the time or the place to give a detailed discussion, because that's something that
will require many, many days of lecturing. And so what I'm going to do is just give a very brief
overview and summary and then open the floor for questions because I'm sure, for those of you who
are going for hedge, you have done the research that you need to, and it's not the time to do an
actual fifth class of hygiene will take us many weeks. And also, hedges are very complicated ritual.
It's not an easy ritual. And theory is one thing and practices and other theory is one thing and
00:01:09 -->
00:01:49
reality is another so I can give you a nutshell, the theory, but what's gonna happen in your
particular hedge, there's a million in one scenarios, right? Your bus was late, you missed this, you
had to do that you weren't able to walk here, that army was at a different time, we cannot possibly
cover all of the hypothetical scenarios that is going to happen. And therefore, the first piece of
practical advice, I'm going to give some practical advice, the first piece of practical advice,
choose your religious authority from now, who do you trust? To ask for factual? Who are you going to
ask when something goes wrong, make sure you are confident in that person. Because your hedge is
00:01:49 -->
00:02:26
going to really depend on who you're going to ask for your confusion. If you don't know what you're
doing, you need to call up need to ask some fatwa have some authority that you trust. Some hedge
groups have a Muslim, most of them have some type of spiritual guide. Fact of the matter is many of
them are not. And you know, I mean, there as you know, the state of the oma our religious clergy is
sometimes not qualified to do what they're doing. So you need to make up your mind who is the
authority that you trust, and then stick with that authority. If you're happy with the guide, that's
with your package and hamdulillah If not, then find out somebody that you can contact. I'm not
00:02:26 -->
00:03:00
unfortunately going for a hedge. So I'm not the best person I wish I could be your your, your your
modeling, but I'm, you know, 2000 miles away in Memphis, you might need something instantaneously
answered. So find out and believe me, there's plenty of people there. Generally speaking, it's not a
problem, I would encourage you to also avail yourself to the federal booths. There are federal
booths set up everywhere says questions for tours. And there are scholars there that are appointed
by the government, with translators in every language, Arabic, English, Urdu course they speak
Arabic or some other language. It's These are the people that are going to the experience, they know
00:03:00 -->
00:03:13
what they're talking about. And I would encourage you, if you cannot find anybody to encourage
yourself, avail yourself to that opportunity. So insha Allah in a nutshell, we'll cover hedge and
then we'll open the floor for questions, comments and concerns,
00:03:15 -->
00:03:53
as we all know, is the fifth pillar of Islam and it is an obligation and that's something that 100
all of you are familiar with. And it is the last obligation that Allah revealed over the weekend. It
is the last of the five out again, not just in order, but in chronic chronic, chronological Jube.
Allah revealed, firstly, the fast the prayer, and then he revealed the fasting, and then he revealed
the zakat. And then the final obligation that revealed is the reveal is the revelation of hedge and
hedges obligatory with two conditions, physical capability and financial surplus, you need to be
physically capable, if you're incapacitated. If you don't have a maharam, you're not physically
00:03:53 -->
00:04:31
capable of doing hedge, you need to be physically capable. Number one, number two, you need to have
the finances and finances. Again, it's a question of how much finances Do you need, the response is
enough for you to do a hedge that is comfortable for your socio economic level. If you're middle
class than you expect to go into middle class hedge, right? And therefore, you need to have an hour
times at least what is the average four or $5,000 or even more these days, you know, four or five
6000. I mean, this is what it used to be. Even 10 years ago, it used to be 2000. But prices are
going up. So a lot does not require that you go like a beggar. If you live a middle class life in
00:04:31 -->
00:05:00
America, it's understood that as a middle class person, you will go on a middle class package. So
you need to save up for what is the equivalent to five 6000 years, you spend dollars. If by that
time you save up the prices go up. You don't have to sacrifice and go on the bare bottom package
because this is your going at your level. Right now. If you're saving up for the luxury package, and
you're not capable or worthy of that this is rough. This is rough, you know your level. You know
what is reasonable for you and you
00:05:00 -->
00:05:20
Look at the package of the three star hotel which is a middle class what we would expect then this
is the package you go for. If you are Mashallah earning any martial a lot of money and you expect to
go in that package, then that's a different story the five star package otherwise, for most Muslims,
we go for the average hedge route, which is around five $6,000 in our times. Now,
00:05:21 -->
00:05:33
hedge There are three types of hedge and I'm only going to concentrate on the one that's the most
common. The three types of hedge are number one, demo tour number two, Tehran, number three if fraud
00:05:35 -->
00:06:01
once again damage to Iran and a flood. What are these three types it's how you combine omura with
hedge This is how the relationship comes there are three logical possibilities. Number one, you
don't do it at all. And that's a fraud a fraud from fraud a singular there is no tomorrow you just
go for the hedge. Number two, you do Umrah and Hajj in one haram you don't get out of Islam. And
this is Quran, you have joined the
00:06:02 -->
00:06:44
Quran, you have Quran, you have joined the to number three, and this is the most common for
foreigners who don't live in southern Arabia. And also it is the most rewarding it is that you do a
full hedge and a full omura with two columns. So you do the full hydrant O'Meara with with you get
out of the farm in the middle. And this is the best because it is two acts in one. You do the aroma
and then you do the hedge. And this is what most people do because they're going only one time in
their life. So they want to do the hedge. They want to do their own moolah, right. So once again, if
you only do the hedge, this is a fraud. And that's the quickest, shortest easiest. It's also the
00:06:44 -->
00:06:47
cheapest because you don't have to pay that quarter bunny. Right?
00:06:49 -->
00:07:10
number if fraud is singular hedge facility said, right? I mean, I'm just I might have said that's
number three. But I mean, I'm saying if fraud is the term, if fraud is singular hedge, right?
Another type of hedges put on which you combine the two together, and then cut on. As we said, you
do Hajj and Umrah in one harem, you don't get out of Iran.
00:07:12 -->
00:07:57
And the most common type, and that's the type I'm going to be talking about. That's the type that
the bulk of the world that goes out from abroad and comes from abroad does is tomato, and tomato is
also the most rewarding. And amateurs also the most actions in it and that's why it's the most
rewarding and tomato is the full aroma. Then you get out of O'Meara and then you wait for the days
of hedge and then you do the full hedge. So tomato means enjoyment. It is called enjoyment because
you enjoy getting out of Islam. There's a period of enjoyment, because in Iran, you cannot cut your
nails, shave your hair, enjoy your wife, etc. out of the home, all of this is permissible. So tomato
00:07:57 -->
00:08:32
means you did the aroma, then you got out of home you finished house now you're done. Now you have
five days, one week, 10 days, however many days for some people that can even be one month, two
months, they're in this state of enjoyment. If they come in show while and they come after Ramadan,
they're gonna wait all the way till till little card hedger until they do it. So of course for us in
America, we cannot have that luxury. It's only five days, two days one day, but tomorrow it means
you enjoy in the middle and that's why it's called de mettre. So we're going to talk about d'amato
we're not going to do the other two, if you're doing the other two, then come to me later or speak
00:08:32 -->
00:08:40
to me afterwards. But we're going to talk about the material because that's what 90% of the world
does and that is what they should do. If it's the first hedge they're going for
00:08:42 -->
00:09:29
the first thing that we need to understand is that hedge must occur at a particular place in a
particular time and a particular state of a harem place time and spiritual state are all important,
not like Salah you can pray anywhere, not like Dora, you can do it in any state, Hajj as a
particular place it has to be in Makkah Mina was that if an artifact understood has to be at a
particular time, right. And for the Hajj x it must be on the eighth ninth 10th 11th 12th of the
hedger you cannot do it on any other day and it must be in a particular state and that state is
called the home right. So how does a very specific act particular place time and state? So what is
00:09:29 -->
00:09:59
the alarm? The ROM is a state in which you declare certain things that are Hillel, you declare them
how long and that's what it's called, how long you have made certain things that are otherwise
halaal you have made them how long upon yourself. And so the ROM is a sacred state that you enter
and you declare in front of Allah, I am doing Hajj. So I'm entering the state of Iran. Now where is
the harem entered into? It is entered into in the mobile feet or the male court
00:10:00 -->
00:10:41
midcourt, the mid part geographic locations, the Profit System specified five locations, he
specified five locations, our scholars have taken those five and drawn lines between them, right.
And so the ROM has become a boundary. Because of these five locations, these are specifically
mentioned in the Hadith. And then our modern scholars, in fact, even in the old, they they drew
boundaries, you don't have to go to one of these five, but these are the boundaries that are made by
the five, right. And so when you cross the boundary, you must at that point, or before it is
permissible to go before it, declare it how long you cannot pass the mcats without declaring how
00:10:41 -->
00:11:13
long or else you have to pay a penalty. Right? So you have to declare the firearm at or before the
court. Why do I say before because when you're going on a plane, you don't have to wait exactly at
the minute because you're not going to know it is safer to declare your head on 10 minutes, five
minutes before you think you're going to enter it and you are safe. Okay, because you can enter a
firearm before the main court. If you pass them in court. This is a penalty, you have to give a
video which we'll talk about later on. So we don't have to worry about
00:11:14 -->
00:11:50
telling you what the meal costs are. Any plane you take your meal cart you're going to land in
Jeddah right. I don't think anybody's landing in Riyadh every day almost 99% land in Jeddah. So
realize that the main thought is five minutes before you land. Five minutes before you land is the
meal cut. That's all you need to know. Therefore, it is safest to enter into a harem 10 minutes
before you land. Not a problem if it's 15 minutes because it doesn't matter. You can enter it not
even from America, but you're making life difficult. Right? So you enter into a harem 10 minutes
before you land you're on the safe side right. In fact, the milk cart is literally right outside of
00:11:50 -->
00:12:14
Jeddah if somebody were to say two minutes before you land three minutes before we land, this would
also have an element of truth because the main part is literally outside of Jeddah. What you cannot
do is land in Jeddah and then say the big Aloma hedge, no, now you're in trouble and you have to pay
a penalty. You cannot wait for the plane to land you have to enter the method and declared the Tobia
before the state of the art before you land in Jeddah now.
00:12:17 -->
00:12:21
Entering the harem is simply a verbal act.
00:12:22 -->
00:12:27
It is a verbal act you say the baker Allahumma. Hajj This is your
00:12:28 -->
00:13:06
whether you're wearing the aroma or not is a separate point. So if it so happens, some people are
not wearing the hat on the big mistake. But when they enter into it, they have to say the baker
lahoma hedge even if they're wearing pants and shirt, then they pay the penalty for the pants and
shirt, but they're safe that they've entered their head on. Right please don't get confused. It
Helen is not the garment you're wearing it her arm is the declaration, the bake Allahumma Hodge
right or the baker lahoma bake whatever you're saying the bake, or you can even say no way to Hajin
or you can say in English, my Nia is for Hajj. But you need to say something to enter into a harem.
00:13:06 -->
00:13:33
And that is said before the mcats. So far, so clear. We're all on the same page. Now, of course, you
know, you're going to enter into a harem before landing in Jeddah. Therefore, it's common sense that
you wear the garments for the men, you wear the garments before you land in Jeddah. If you're
stopping over in Dubai or in Frankfurt, believe me, it's not going to be embarrassing, because half
the world is going for a hedge at that time. So everybody in the plane is going to be wearing a
helmet, you don't have to worry about you don't have to worry about that. Yeah.
00:13:35 -->
00:13:39
You know what, go ahead. So the question is no, not a problem. You're
00:13:40 -->
00:13:40
like you make
00:13:42 -->
00:13:42
and you're not worried.
00:13:45 -->
00:14:14
So, if you make the ROM, while you're not wearing, the Fitbit is the same as cutting your hair off
wearing clothes. And that is too fast three days or to feed six people or to give a sacrifice. And
we'll talk about that in a while. Right? So the idea is relatively trivial. Whereas if you were to
not enter a harem, now you're in big trouble. And you have to go back. That's the best thing to do.
Or you have to give a bandana or a camel or something or sacrifice.
00:14:22 -->
00:14:28
No, you don't have to you don't have to mention what type of hedge and you're allowed to change your
mind within the hedge. It
00:14:31 -->
00:14:44
shows his intelligence. When he did the bake. He didn't know how the processor was doing hedge. So
he said what type of hedge he didn't know. So he said, the bake Allahumma upon the hedge of the
processes and whatever that is
00:14:45 -->
00:14:59
very smart. However, the process of doing that my hedge because he was coming from Yemen and the
Prophet system was coming from Medina and so it doesn't matter even you change your mind. From from
a fraud to tomato you change your mind before you begin not a problem because
00:15:00 -->
00:15:16
Once you've entered is just like nothing prayer not nothing prayer, if you pray, wanted to pray to
the cut for one reason and then you change your mind in the middle for nothing that's allowed not
for for this law. So for Hajj, whatever you do is permissible within that framework. Yes.
00:15:20 -->
00:16:03
You have to verbalize the NEA and verbalizing is done by anyway, the only place in the shediac where
the NEA is verbal is hedge, not Insider, not in anything else. The only place where the NEA must be
verbal is the hedge. Now, what is the verbalization it is any expression that signifies hedge you
can say in English or law I am doing the hedge This is your near you can say the baker lahoma Baker,
this is your near you can say the baker lahoma hedge the baker lahoma Dumbledore anything but you
have to say it now, I wouldn't worry too much because the whole plane is going to be eagerly looking
at their watch and this and that so you're with the group. So I wouldn't worry too much about you
00:16:03 -->
00:16:35
forgetting the entire plane is a hydroplane and everybody's waiting and people are going to be doing
it from the beginning all the way to Jeddah. Don't worry about that inshallah Allah plus you have a
timeframe. Like I said, I would personally I would do it 15 minutes before the plane lands, even if
you did it three minutes before the plane lands, and the pilot will make an announcement almost all
airplanes, they may we'll make an announcement that we aren't, we are going to pass the new thought
in two minutes or something like this. So when they make this announcement, and even if they don't,
10 minutes before they land, you should say something. If you don't verbalize you haven't made the
00:16:35 -->
00:16:39
Nia and therefore there's the penalty if you land in Jeddah Okay. Now.
00:16:41 -->
00:17:02
So if you're landing in Medina, that's 10 years, then you're safe because Medina is outside of Iran.
But in America, I don't know. Planes Don't go. There are there are a few. Okay, it's rare. From what
I remember, American groups, almost all of them they go to Jeddah, first, some groups from Egypt,
and from Jordan, there's direct flights to Medina.
00:17:04 -->
00:17:23
Aha, Jordan. Exactly. Yeah. So who is Jordan, and then they're going to Medina, then you're not
entering your home anyway, because Medina is outside of, of the myth class, right. So if you're not
entering the harem, then you don't have to worry about this, then you're going to enter Iran from
Medina when the bus leaves, they're going to stop at the place of Islam, and then you're going to
enter the home there. Now,
00:17:24 -->
00:17:32
what is prohibited in Islam, nine things. Nine things are prohibited in Iran, we'll go over them one
by one. Number one,
00:17:34 -->
00:17:38
cutting or shaving the hair, cutting or shaving the hair.
00:17:39 -->
00:18:15
I have to point out here that a lot of people make Islam more difficult than it is. And so if you're
going to trust me, trust me, and what I say, if you're not, then go trust the person that you're
going to trust for Islamic photos. But if you're coming here to this class, I'm assuming you're
going to trust me, please understand that a lot of the books and a lot of the people out there, they
make our religion more difficult. And it's not that difficult. I mean, I don't know how it says I
have done Hajj and hamdulillah more than 10 times I have studied these rulings inside out. And what
I'm teaching you is basically the fatawa, the fatawa, you're going to hear from those fatwa boxes
00:18:15 -->
00:18:49
and boots. This is the mainstream photo of those who are doing hedge every year, and they're more
familiar with it. You know, when you're far away, and you've never done hedge, it's easier to make
things more difficult even as a scholar, and this is what we found many of the scholars did, that
they've never done a hedge. And because they don't understand they don't visualize, they might make
things more difficult. Those who do hedge regularly, and they understand the evidence is make a
little bit easier. So what do I mean by all of this? What is prohibited is to intentionally pluck
your hair or to trim it or to shave it. If your hair accidentally falls off. You didn't do it, don't
00:18:49 -->
00:19:33
worry about it. Right. Also, it is not how to comb your hair. There is not there's no prohibition
against combing the prohibition against shaving, plucking, trimming. So it is understood, especially
when you're older in your ears such as myself these days when you comb your hair, something's gonna
fall right that didn't happen 10 years ago with me now it is happening okay. This does not
constitute plucking the hair because your intention was to comb and it is permitted for men and for
women to comb. I said it is permitted. It's not encouraged but it is allowed. There's no penalty if
when you comb your hair, some hair falls off. Similarly, there's no penalty if you wake up and your
00:19:33 -->
00:19:59
pillow has some hair fault enough you didn't do it. It's nothing at all. If you were intentionally
did it this is where you need to pay the video. Right so we'll get to the video. Number one we said
shaving, trimming, cutting the hair. Number two, cutting the nails. Once again intentionally cutting
the nails. If and this happens to me all the time, your nails scripts against something and it bends
right because you're in the state of it.
00:20:00 -->
00:20:36
For a week, your nails are going to grow. If they're going to grow, it's going to chip away. Again,
if you have if it's even if it's chipped away, and it's painful to or it's awkward, you may break
the chip without breaking the whole nail. Right? You understand this point a little bit of nail, you
didn't intend to break the nail, there is no video. This is your hands raised against something,
cement or something and happens all the time, right? Or you pick something up, you have big nails,
and it it cracked, you didn't intentionally crack or break the nail no further on you what is not
allowed if you take the nail clippers or your teeth or you know, some people, you know, bite their
00:20:36 -->
00:21:15
nails or whatever, that would not be allowed. And again, this is intentional, unintentional,
everything that is done unintentionally is forgiven. Anyway, the shed has this right. And I've been
out to dinner in the scene. Anything that is unintentional. So even if you were just trimming, you
know, pulling your beard like this, or pulling your hair, some people have a habit of you know,
doing this, and then you realize, oh, a hair came out. You didn't intend to do that. Right? And
therefore this is forgiven course you should be conscious, but it's forgiven. There's no video on
number two, we said, trimming the nails. Number three. Now, by the way, I need to understand explain
00:21:15 -->
00:21:26
to the psychology. Why does a lot tell men and women, this is for both men and women so far, to not
trim their nails and their hair, to remind them
00:21:27 -->
00:22:02
that there is a greater goal. But they shouldn't be worried about vanity looking pretty and looking
beautiful, that there's a bigger goal that you know, at times of distress. Imagine somebody whose
loved one has died. Do you think they're going to be worried about grooming themselves and trimming
the you know, it's something big happening, right? So Allah is telling you, this is your family,
right? This is imagine comedy, right? Imagine you have something to you should have bigger things on
your mind. then making sure you're looking all pretty and vainglorious. And looking at the window, a
mirror looking at, you know, looking at your image, no, there's bigger things to worry about. So a
00:22:02 -->
00:22:50
lot, once us intentionally to feel that we have bigger things to worry about. And so he's made these
things prohibited without making the more bigger things such as also such as washing yourself in the
bathroom, of course you need to do that. Right. So Allah has prohibited the finer things of life,
and not the staple items of life. So number two is trimming the nose number three, for men only
covering the hair. Now, especially in the old days, covering the hair was a sign of modesty for men.
It was a sign of dignity, right? Even in America, look at any black and white movie, what are all
the men have their caps on and to remove the hair covering was a sign of humility. free men did not
00:22:50 -->
00:23:05
have their hair uncovered, only slaves did. And this is by the way, even in Islamic lines, freemen
didn't have this. This is culture in our times, everybody myself, all of you, all of us who have our
hair uncovered. This is culture. So the purpose here was to signify your servitude to Allah,
00:23:07 -->
00:23:51
that nobody had their hair uncovered except to slave in hajj, all of us are Allah slaves. So we were
all supposed to have the hair uncovered. And therefore to cover the hair with a connected garment,
such as a cap, such as a ball cap, such as a turban, this is something that is not allowed, however,
to have shade and shelter. The Profit System below would cover him with the sun with his own right,
and the Profit System sat under a tree. So there is one group, different federal, they believe that
you cannot have any covering between you and Allah. So their buses are all they have no covering on
the buses, their tents have nothing on top. This is that federal law, this is not socialism. This is
00:23:51 -->
00:24:08
another federal for us. We can sit in shade, the process of them sat in shade, you can cover
yourself with a umbrella. You can cover yourself with the sun with something that's not connected,
but you cannot have a connected covering on the head. You had a question with it.
00:24:18 -->
00:24:21
When you're sleeping, the pen has been lifted from you.
00:24:22 -->
00:24:40
You don't intentionally put it on you. But if you're sleeping and you just put it on and and you're
asleep, and you wake up when you wake up, you take it off. You didn't intentionally put it on you.
Number four. Number four, and this is also for men only. And this is the biggest confusion amongst
men.
00:24:41 -->
00:24:59
It says you're not supposed to wear unsewn or you're supposed to wear unsewn or unstitched garments,
right. This is where men now people don't understand what unsolder unstitch means. And they think
that unsewn and unstitch means you cannot have any needlework on it.
00:25:00 -->
00:25:25
This is completely wrong, and the translation is wrong as well. What is forbidden is for men to wear
a garment that wraps around the limbs. This is what unstitched means, such as my shirt, just as a
jacket that has hands. You know for sleeves in it, such as a pant, slacks, jeans, undergarments
under, these are sewn,
00:25:26 -->
00:26:12
your head arm has needlework on it. That's not it's not a problem, right? a jacket. If you were to
wear a jacket in the cold weather without putting your sleeves in, this is an unsewn garment,
because you're using it as a shawl. You guys following me if I have a jacket, you put it on over you
without putting your hands inside, you're safe. You're scot free, because you're not using it as a
stitched garment. What is a stitched garment garment that covers the limbs, wedges, the limbs, the
two hands and the feet, right. And therefore, pants are not allowed. But you cover yourself with
that with the head on shirts are not allowed, but you cover the upper part of the garment with
00:26:12 -->
00:26:31
something that wraps around. It doesn't have to be white. It doesn't have to be a rectangle. But of
course it's the most convenient that is shaped that way. And of course White is the most beloved
cover color to the Profit System. So that is why all the columns are white, and that is why they're
shaped in that rectangle. But the meaning of unstitched is that you don't have
00:26:33 -->
00:27:11
leggings and and sleeves. This is what it means unstitch and therefore as I said if you were to wear
something as a shawl, even if that garment has leggings and sleeves, you're fine because you didn't
use it as that you used it as a wraparound. So the point being for men only they need to wrap things
around them and they cannot wear stitched garments. So this is point number four, point them and of
course for women there is no harm in the clothing. For women. There is no harm in the clothing they
wear their regular clothes is only for men. Point number five.
00:27:12 -->
00:27:13
perfume.
00:27:15 -->
00:27:29
Perfume as well has been prohibited in the state of Islam. Of course the big issue comes How about
that which is not intended as perfume but still emanates perfume such as soaps, lotions, creams.
00:27:30 -->
00:27:34
In my humble opinion these things are McGrew but they are not how long.
00:27:35 -->
00:28:18
They are makrooh but they are not how long what is any mcru it's best to avoid it. But there is no
video on you. Why? Because nobody uses soap in order to perfume themselves. Right soap is not meant
to perfume. So it is not a perfume. Even if it has some perfume scent in it. You see the difference?
Right? Similarly creams and lotions that are used for dry skin. My suggestion and advice and this is
what I do when I go for Hajj, you buy the unscented versions, you get unscented soap, and you get
unscented lotions, right? So to be on the safe side get that but in and of itself to use regular
lotions and creams. Now there are those that are extra sensitive. Obviously this is a gray area
00:28:18 -->
00:28:48
here, you're getting more and more to the how long right? But the average jergens lotion, hand
lotion, right? It has a scent but it is not scented. You see the difference? Right? That's
completely permissible. There's no scent, there's no perfume coming from it, perfume lotions, or
mcru. Don't use them, because but nonetheless, they are not too familiar because if you wanted to
use perfume, you'd put some cologne you put some glitter, and that is what is held on
00:28:49 -->
00:29:21
soap as well. There's a scent that comes from it, but it is not. You don't use soap to perfect
yourself. You guys understand this point here, right? So bottom line, avoided but most likely, when
you go to the bathroom or you go you're gonna find perfume soap over there, right? Go ahead and use
it. It's not going to cause you a video. It's best that you have your own but somebody is going to
take yours you're going to drop yours they're going to go missing. So you go there, there's going to
be perfect. Likewise, your skin's gonna crack you you finished your own unscented lotion. You might
have to use somebody else's regular lotion, which has a little bit of perfume in it. There is no
00:29:21 -->
00:29:33
video on you. There is no video if you use that, but make sure in your personal belongings you have
unscented version. This is number six. Number sorry number five. Number six is COVID
00:29:35 -->
00:29:59
toothpaste is not at all McGrew because that is ingested or put in the mouth. You don't stop eating
scented food biryani is held Alhamdulillah throughout Hajj, great, spicy silence not a problem even
though I wouldn't advise you for edge. Very dangerous, but it's not a problem. Okay, so toothpaste
not at all not even mcru because that's going inside and using that matalon issue because that's not
00:30:00 -->
00:30:01
A few months ago and is going inside.
00:30:04 -->
00:30:39
We're getting there. We're getting there. It's not a problem at all, but we're getting there. Point
number six. Nothing we have to worry about from America hunting. None of us hunts when we go for a
hike we don't even hadn't in America, so we don't have to worry about that hunting is also out on
point number seven in Sharla. Again, we don't have to worry about America 789 all have to do with
marriage. Point number seven is getting married. inshallah nobody goes to MCC in the state of Rome
to get married. So we don't have to worry about that. If you do fall in love, then wait till you get
out of it head on and then marry otherwise, yeah, Annie, just be patient one week, that's all you
00:30:39 -->
00:30:40
have to do. Okay.
00:30:41 -->
00:31:07
Falling in love and how long is not a problem getting married? No problem. But you should have
bigger points in mind. Point number seven. Point number eight is foreplay with your spouse. And five
foreplay we mean kissing, petting all of this type of stuff. We have to be very explicit, I have to
excuse me for that. But this is unnecessary. What we mean is touching your wife with passion,
touching your wife to save her from the crowd is watching.
00:31:09 -->
00:31:49
There was no video at all, okay, touching your wife in order to guard her as all the people are
pushing and shoving. This is being a man. There is no video at all. touching your wife is Helen. But
touching with passion becomes my daughter becomes what is prohibited. We all know the difference
will have to go into detail for this regard. So holding your wife's hand in order that she doesn't
get lost is something that you should do as a couple in hedge. Holding your hand to be romantic is
not something you should do in the state of Ohio. This is common sense differentiation between the
two. So this is point number seven. Point number eight sorry, point number nine is actual
00:31:49 -->
00:32:22
*. And that is separate from eight because eight you can get out of up the video for nine
your hedge has been null and void if you get to that level is null and void. And to be honest,
that's not anything you have to worry about. Because there is no privacy at all during Hajj. Men are
all together with men, women are together with women. So there's really, there's really an I've, in
the 10 years I've done hedge nobody has come to me with this problem. Because it's not even
possible. Even if you go into superstar packages, generally there's men in the room and the women in
the room so don't have to worry about this or hamdulillah. Otherwise, just for your fifth knowledge.
00:32:22 -->
00:32:37
This if you do in the state of Iran, this is null and void. Your hedge is null and void. You have to
repeat your hedge next year. Big problem, big issue. Just make sure that that doesn't happen. Be
patient until you come back out of the state of economics. These are the nine
00:32:38 -->
00:33:16
or the nine issues of Trump now. One point footware. Again, this is for men only for women, there is
no ihraam guidelines for clothing, they wear whatever they need to wear. There's no the same jilbab
hijaab schelotto gummies, whatever they're wearing regularly, they were unhedged. There's no
clothing, requirements or issues for our sisters from America. For those who are extra conservative
the issue of the glove and the new column is something they need to discuss. But I don't see anybody
wearing that over here so we don't have to worry about that. Otherwise, the glove and the niqab
should not be worn by a woman as a separate garment. Yes, you have a question?
00:33:17 -->
00:33:18
You don't?
00:33:19 -->
00:33:23
Yes, I thought okay. For men footwear.
00:33:24 -->
00:34:08
The profitsystem said that whoever has sandals should wear them and should not wear shoes, but
whoever has shoes then they are forgiven. In one earlier version of the Hadith or earlier hedge. It
is said that the process of told them to cut off the tops of the shoes that is below the ankles.
Right? There's a biggest laugh if you have shoes, must you cut them off below the ankles? We don't
have to worry about the issue because we're gonna purchase footwear that we're going to use for
hedge so what is a legitimate footwear for the men? Obviously for women, there's no issue they wear
their shoes and whatnot firm for men. What is the legitimate issue? Again, there's a lot of stuff
00:34:08 -->
00:34:46
we're going to find details the bottom line, anything that you would call a sandal is permissible.
And anything that you would call a shoe generally is not permissible. Right? So don't wear Nikes
don't wear a shoe just wear something that is a sandal now obviously there's a gray area and a fine
line some sandals or almost shoes you know I understand that any use your better judgment right and
one thing that as a practical and personal note. Do not purchase brand new sandals for hedge it's
making the biggest mistake possible. Use the ones that are the most worn out Why?
00:34:48 -->
00:35:00
Cuz those are the ones you're used to. You're comfortable in. Right? Don't buy spanking brand new
because that's gonna make you blisters and sore. No, you don't want that. I speak from experience.
You want the ones that
00:35:00 -->
00:35:22
The most worn out, and the ones who are the most comfortable in, right. And therefore if you don't
have any buy them from now and wear them on a daily basis, so that you get used to them without
socks, because you need to wear the sandals without socks, because you cannot cover your feet, you
cannot have the socks because that is a that is a sewn garment. Can we close the door maybe so that
way the kids are playing in the outside.
00:35:24 -->
00:35:30
That is a sewn garment. So you cannot have a sock, right? Therefore purchase sandals that you're
going to wear
00:35:31 -->
00:35:36
without socks and get used to those sandals, that is the best thing to do. You have a question with
this.
00:35:43 -->
00:36:19
There's not a problem having it closed from the back, as long as a strap from the back is still a
sandal. It's not a shoe, a strap that is in the back is still the standard. It's not a shoe. Right I
myself the sandals that I wear for hedge they are. They are athletes sandals, so you know you're
supposed to be running in them and stuff. But they are criss crossed, so there's not fully covered.
And then there's a strap at the back. So the bulk of the foot is exposed. And there's a strap at the
back. And there's not a problem at all to where that. So these are the nine Mahabharata, the nine
issues of Iran. Now
00:36:20 -->
00:36:54
the bulk of the problem that occurs is with regards to trimming and cutting deals and the the
putting on of the perfume, and all of this, you know the trivial stuff as we call it for these
things, if you need to do them intentionally. If you need to do them intentionally, then do them.
You are not sinful. And then pay the video. What do I mean by this? One of the Sahaba had heavy
here. And in the state of Rome while walking to Mecca, he got infested with lice.
00:36:55 -->
00:37:36
And lice is a problem. Big problem itching scratching this and that. When the Prophet says number
heard, he said hello, go and shave your hair and pay the video. Don't torture yourself. If there's a
medical reason that you need to do one of these. So for example, you are freezing cold, you are sick
and you need a jacket and putting it on you is not helping you. Right? Go ahead and put the jacket
on. This is for men for women, of course they wear the jacket anyway not a problem for men go ahead
and put the jacket on. If you have a fever, you have a flu, you need to be protected from the cold,
right? Go ahead and do it and then pay the video. There's no sin on you, right. Similarly, any
00:37:36 -->
00:37:43
issues of shaving and trimming or whatnot, if you have to do it for medical reasons, there's no sin.
What if you did it not for medical reasons. But for
00:37:44 -->
00:37:49
any other issue in this conflict, let's say in this case, you are sinful and you paid
00:37:50 -->
00:38:31
for medical reasons you're not sinful and you pay the video for non medical reasons. You are sinful.
So you have to repent to Allah, it's not good that you did it. And then you pay the video. So
there's a fine line between comfort and medical. So for example, if you have a blister, and you need
to wear a shoe, rather than your your now what defines a blister that is really painful. And this
goes back to your better judgment. So bottom line, if you think that this is something that is a
type of medical, not a balloon balloon is too big of a word and medical expediency, it makes life
easier for you for medical reasons, then you should do it. And you pay the video and you embrace a
00:38:31 -->
00:38:52
last concession that look a lot allowed me to do this right. Another example, that some years ago,
there was this swine flu or bird flu, whatever happening, right? So the government said everybody
should work as this non kastmaster. The, the, the face mask, right? Because the virus was spreading
everywhere. In this case, they should do it, but they pay the video.
00:38:53 -->
00:39:16
Right? Now, I don't know if that is the case anymore. You know, bester we have the government
advisory now. But the bottom line if you want to wear it for medical reasons, and if there's a
pressing need, then there's no set, you go ahead and do it. And then you pay the fifth, you have to
pay the fifth you never get out of the video. What is the video, you may fast for three days, that's
very difficult, much easier. You pay the co founder, which is to feed
00:39:17 -->
00:39:57
six people to feed six people, right? And then the third option, you actually sacrifice an animal
that cost $500 $200 very expensive. You don't need to do that. The easiest thing to do, and they're
all three equivalent, the easiest thing to do is to feed six people. What does it mean to feed six
people couldn't be easier. Anything easiest thing to do is very easy. You go to the shower place in
front of you, you go to the chicken stand, you go to any type of burger joint, whatever is there,
you buy six meals, and you will find beggars are plenty. You will find people from all over the
world from India and Pakistan from Bangladesh from Africa from people who can under sleeping,
00:39:57 -->
00:39:59
sleeping on the streets and you go and you give them these
00:40:00 -->
00:40:34
meals and you've done your job six people and six meals, right? So you feed six people, an average
food item. What is an average food is an average meal, chicken and rice, shawarma, falafel, whatever
you're going to buy for yourself, right? Three rails, five rails, whatever is going to cost you very
cheap. And you just go and you buy six meals, and you feed six people. And believe me, you will find
much more than six. The problem is when you give it to 660 will come and they will say we went as
well. So you're not gonna have a problem finding six people, you're not gonna have a problem finding
food. So that's going to be the least of your worries. Okay, you have a question? Yes.
00:40:42 -->
00:41:04
We will make your life easier doing it over there. Believe me. Where are you going to find six
people here poor people to feed? Right? Where are you going to find six people in Memphis poor
Muslims to feed it will make your life much easier. You don't have to do it there. But believe me it
is better you do it there before you come back the feet six feet. It doesn't have to be right on
that day. But before you come back, you do that? Yes.
00:41:07 -->
00:41:18
The fasting has to be done that selected for the Hello Sabatino digital fasting should be done in
that area, which is always very difficult and I would never encourage anybody to do it. Okay.
00:41:20 -->
00:41:37
We're kind of running out of time. I wanted to have q&a. Let me just quickly go over the rights of
Hajji went has spent a long time spending on the nine issues of health. Let me just do in a
nutshell, the ideal hedge that you will do as handwritten letter okay. handwritten letter means you
will be doing Roma before Hajj.
00:41:39 -->
00:41:48
So what this means is you will enter the state of Islam you will be wearing the harem then you will
perform the ombre which is seven
00:41:49 -->
00:42:32
throw off round time the Kaabah then seven sorry. and assign means one way is one the way back is to
a lot of people think one way is the whole back and forth that means you don't 14 no from Safa.
Tomorrow is one from Ottawa back to suffer is number two, then Safa. tomahto, s3, then marowak to
suffer is for right? So you do it, basically three times back and forth. And then one more, right.
So three times back and forth the six and then one more, that is seven. Once you've done that, then
if you're doing Dumbledore, you will trim your hair. Okay, here's where I'm going to be strict with
you. This is, in my humble opinion, it is not valid for you to take a pair of scissors and go snip,
00:42:32 -->
00:42:49
snip, snip, and that's it. This is not valid. And this is a concession that one of the methods has
which I think is not valid at all. When Allah says trim the hair, you need to trim the hair, how do
you trim the hair, all of it.
00:42:50 -->
00:43:26
Just like when you do will do if somebody said I'm going to do will do by going tick, tick, tick and
that's my will do none of you would say this is valid. When Allah says wipe your hair, you wipe your
head, you wipe it, all of it. And therefore this is what I'm strict here and I say you this is your
hedge do it properly. I do not think this is valid. Somebody else is doing it that's between them
and Allah. You're asking me I say this is not valid. You need to trim all of your hair. And there
are barbers everywhere. You know this at that time of the barber, barber season barber galore,
everybody is a Barbara there, right? If you're doing tomato, do not shave your hair during your own
00:43:26 -->
00:43:29
row, you save that for the hedge.
00:43:30 -->
00:43:52
Because you want to do the better of the two for hedge. Right? Because within one week, you're going
to be doing it again and your hair is not going to grow back in one week. No matter how much
Mashallah you have, it doesn't matter. It's not going to grow back in one week. Okay. So you do your
trimming. For women, they take their entire ponytail, or their entire hair as much as they have it
right. And they trim
00:43:53 -->
00:44:33
the tip of a finger, all of it, not just one slip. So they gather all of their hair in one fist.
Right. And then the tip of it they would they would trim for one fingernail and that is the trimming
for women. For men they have to trim all of their hair. Once you've trimmed your hair. You are out
of the state of Iran. This is your thermometer remember so you haven't done your hedges. This is the
aroma of tomato once you trim your hair house you're out of the state of Iran. So you go back to
your hotel you take a shower you perfume you close you may come do whatever you want you there is no
economic anymore because you're out of it. That's why it's called d'amato. So once you've done that,
00:44:33 -->
00:44:59
you will remain in Makkah, some groups go to Medina during this time and then come back that two is
fine. Not a problem. Most groups remain in Makkah during this time. So this is a hedge starts on the
eighth of June hedger. This is most likely the fourth or the third, they will come to Makkah they'll
spend four or five days you do your ibadah you do tawaf, you do whatever you want. That's fine.
You're not in a harem. On the eighth of June Hey
00:45:00 -->
00:45:42
The only time ever you will enter Iran from where you are. This is the exception to the rule of
Islam. Otherwise, if you were to do Umrah or Hajj anywhere else are you coming in, you must enter
from the Meerkat, there is only one exception. And that is during the days of Hajj for the judge,
intimate. That's why it's called the matter you're enjoying is the one exception, and everybody will
do it. So you don't have to worry about that. On the eighth of June, you will re enter the state of
your home in your place of residence or a hotel wherever you are. And you say the baker lahoma
hedge, you enter it again, a big Aloma hedge, right. And on the eighth, you're more alum, your guide
00:45:42 -->
00:46:10
will take you to Mina. This is the day of preparation. There's nothing that happens there. And in
fact, the entire day of the eighth is sooner. If you were to skip it, your hedge is still valid.
There is no video no cafaro nothing. The eighth is the day of preparation, your material, which is
called preparation, you're preparing for the big day. So the eighth is not even essential. So if you
do anything wrong, you cannot do anything wrong on the eighth, right? Yes.
00:46:14 -->
00:46:33
After fudger before the decision, after federal right before the show the profitsystem would enter a
home in the morning of the eighth. And he would travel to Mina in Mina, you pray for her answer.
Most of the Eurasia and the next fudger. So now we're on the ninth five prayers in Mina.
00:46:36 -->
00:47:21
Yes, you leave Mecca with your home. from wherever you are you leave mica from Iraq. Yes, you enter
Iran from your place of residence, your hotel, wherever you are. Now, as I said, these prayers and
the staying of Mina. This is optional, voluntary sooner, you should do it. Suppose Something
happened, you fell sick, you have a fever, stay in your place of residence, and make sure you have
arrangements to go four out of five the next day. Keep your energy for the big thing. And that's the
ninth, the ninth is the big day. This is the day that is the day of hedge, the profit zone set, set
a hedge out offer simple Arabic and had you out of a simple equation. The whole hedge is around
00:47:21 -->
00:47:45
alpha. So keep your energy for the ninth day, this is what you need to do. Right. On the morning of
the ninth most of you will be in Mina. In fact, everyone should be in Mina. But if it so happens,
you're not not a problem. You make your way to our facts, and on our facts. On the ninth, you should
aim to get there before
00:47:46 -->
00:47:50
you get there after law, not a problem. But the sooner is to get there before the law.
00:47:51 -->
00:48:01
And on the day of out Have you will pray for her and answer shortened and combined in Minar. They
will be shortened but not combined.
00:48:02 -->
00:48:20
replay to further an answer. But there'll be at the regular timing. But in our fat you pray
shortened and combined. Why? Because to show you that on the day of our offer, there's something
even more important than praying it is proper time. And that is
00:48:21 -->
00:49:02
so had you out of this is what you've come come for. To raise your hands to Allah and to beg and
plead and cry and spend the entire day in liquid and liquid and dry. That's what you even Salah you
just get get it out of the way. soon as you arrive, time for Zoho, you paid 200 an ounce or two to
combine. And the rest of the day is then spent making dua thinking about your past sins, having the
intention to a lot to have a better life in the future. And the doer of the deen and the act of
dunya. Everything that comes this is what you are there for and to end. And I encourage you and you
know what like it sounds Believe me remember this those who are going for hedge. You're going
00:49:02 -->
00:49:48
thinking that this is going to be the spiritual time of your life. When you get there disease,
plague fatigue, thirst noise, Smaug your spirituality is going to be a problem to try to get out of
you. Right? It's easy to think how can I not be in a spiritual state? Get there, see how tired you
are? See how physically fit. That's the whole point of hygena you need to extract the Rouhani out of
you because you're so tired. You just you know, it's everything. But if it does, it's a problem to
get out of that. Another point is and it sounds so petty that you might even get angry at me for
saying this. You will not believe Hajj has become a tourism for many of the people talking
00:49:48 -->
00:49:59
blabbering Reba backbiting Can you believe and I have seen this too many times. People literally
gossip on the day of arafah now you're gonna say not in my group. Mark my words righted.
00:50:00 -->
00:50:01
In your group
00:50:02 -->
00:50:22
in your group laughing joking talking about I have even had people when I used to, to hedge, there
was no internet connection. Now I'm sure they even have that they're listening to the radio for the
latest basketball scores. Because there was some game happening the Lakers versus somebody that day,
right? Or one year there was the finals of the football happening, right? And so can you believe
now?
00:50:24 -->
00:50:31
People are smoking doing all of this? Yeah, I mean, smoking, they, they don't even think it's hot.
Um, so for, you know, it's even worse. And you know, My point being,
00:50:33 -->
00:51:12
realize you need to cut off from those people. Don't sit with them. Don't listen to the basketballs
course, but that day, you're laughing at me, believe me, you will be tempted on that day. Because
that's what your thought wants you to do. You will be tempted to waste your time in this type of,
you know, Riba and backbiting and not even just talking about stuff of useless time, cut away from
them, the best thing to do, walk outside of the tent to a private area, shelter, be under shelter,
because it's hot, have lots of water, obviously practical advice, but just break away from the
group. And just sit there with your dog and your physical books and whatever you have, and just
00:51:13 -->
00:51:54
private have your water and have your Vicodin and spend three, four hours solid away from society by
meaning outside of the tent, you're on your own under the tree, especially before most of the the
professor's would actually come outside of the shade. And he would in the sun now this is what time
is this this is to to 20 minutes before Muslim you know, 30 minutes from or not. And this time
there's going to be too hot right? When the sun is lost the heat, the process would literally go
into the sun out of the shade. Don't do it at three o'clock. Do it at six, seven o'clock, whenever
is negative 20 minutes before sir on six o'clock these days would be the process would go out into
00:51:54 -->
00:51:58
the sun and raise his hands up to Allah azza wa jal directly,
00:51:59 -->
00:52:09
and hands all the way up making dua. And you'll see a lot of people doing this in your group as
well. That's the time to do it. Right towards the end. You're not allowed to leave out of fat before
mostly.
00:52:10 -->
00:52:15
And you cannot because the gates are closed anyway. So it's not even an issue. Even if you try to
the police would stop you.
00:52:16 -->
00:52:56
You're not allowed to leave outside before Muslim. After Muslim, the gates open up for most of you
are going to be sitting in your cars for 3456 hours because there's going to be traffic jams, right.
And this is very frustrating. But that's what you got to do. The gates are open but you are five
miles behind the gates, right. And the buses are all stacked up and lined up for 567 miles.
Sometimes I have even waited until 11 o'clock before the bus moves and Muslims at 630. Right. So for
four hours, five hours, you're sitting in that smog. And that's the worst. One of the worst parts of
hydrilla is that time, because it's just so much all the buses and all the people bathroom is a
00:52:56 -->
00:53:02
problem. This is a problem. It's just chaotic at that time. Right. And this is a part of the Hajj
experience.
00:53:03 -->
00:53:06
I wouldn't advise you to walk it at that point in time.
00:53:07 -->
00:53:18
Unless you're a group of young men, then is permissible or is good. Otherwise, it's just not the
time you want to walk into it. The next stage which I'll tell you from out of fat you will go to was
Delica.
00:53:19 -->
00:54:03
Delhi is an open plane. There are no tents, there's no hotel. Unless you're a guest of the king, you
have a palace upon the mountain. Otherwise, you're all in the open. Was Delhi is the most
disorienting time of Hajj. The most chaotic it's only six hours, because you'll get there 1112
o'clock. Maybe even one two o'clock. That's really rare. Usually you'll get there by 11 o'clock,
right? What is there? Wherever the bus is able to find parking. That's where it is. Where do you
sleep? Wherever your bus has parked, you just slip right outside over there. That's the most
difficult time of edge. And bathrooms are the worst. Let me get to the bathrooms in a while. But
00:54:03 -->
00:54:06
tullahoma Stan, that is the most difficult time.
00:54:07 -->
00:54:09
some practical advice before I forget.
00:54:11 -->
00:54:15
This is the time when the bulk of the Hajaj who are going to get lost Get lost.
00:54:17 -->
00:54:31
If it's destined for you to get lost 90% 90% of time it will be on this night. Why? Because you wake
up and you see 3 million people sleeping out in the open, right? And you see in the distance,
perhaps half a mile away the bathroom.
00:54:33 -->
00:55:00
So you got like whoa, a straight line from me to the bathroom. Okay, sure. It's a straight line.
When you get out after two hours. When you get out you look and the whole world looks the same to
you completely. And you're like hold on I remember so click. So this is the most difficult time,
right? You need to be very careful about where you're going from look at your signs, look at your
bearings, everything use your comments.
00:55:00 -->
00:55:39
sense mountains, you know, poles, bridges, whatever you see, make sure every while you walk into the
bathroom look behind you. And look, look at the areas here. When I come back, what am I going to
see? Make sure you look at it right. Another problem is you might be using a bus as your guidepost,
this red colored bus, you come out there is no red colored bus because it's left. Don't use buses.
Okay, use permanent structures. Okay. Use something that you can see. And it is very problematic.
Definitely, there's no question long lines. 4050 minutes is common for the bathroom. And that's why
it will come to practical advice, eat little eat little is use you is going to be easier for you in
00:55:39 -->
00:55:53
every sense, right? Of course drink you have to drink. Hydration is very essential in was that if
there's a common myth that you have to get the stones, this is a myth. You can get the stones from
anywhere.
00:55:54 -->
00:56:00
However, it's convenient to get them from Mozilla because Mozilla is a stony area.
00:56:01 -->
00:56:25
But you you know, I you I get them usually on the eighth day when I'm in jmeter. That's when I get
them cuz get that out of the way. You get the Profit System did not tell us where to get the stones
from. We don't even know where he got them from. We don't know where he got them from. So this is a
common myth that you should get them from Mozilla for No, you can get them from your backyard in
Memphis and go with them if you want. Not a problem.
00:56:26 -->
00:56:50
As I said, my, my met, I've done hamdulillah more than 10 hedge my methodology was to get them on
the eighth day of the ledger in minutes. Because that would get one thing out of the way, so I
wouldn't have to worry about it. And the point of advice have a nice pouch for the stones right?
plastic bag or some type of pouch. You don't have to buy fancy leather pouch. But if you wanted to
go ahead and buy a fancy leather pouch, but have something to put the stones in write, how many
stones do you need?
00:56:51 -->
00:57:01
Do the math on the 10th, you're going to need seven on the 11th and 12th and 13th, you'll need 21
each. So 21 times three is
00:57:03 -->
00:57:25
63 plus 770. Okay, so have these 70 stones and then add 10 for just in case just in case you drop
one or something like this, but around 70 or so you're going to need now the Prophet system told us
in our authentic ID when others came back to him with some nice big Mashallah heavy stones. He said,
00:57:26 -->
00:58:05
No, this is too big. He said unless something like a chick pea, you all know what up the tip of your
finger, something like this, he said, and do not go to extremes in a religion. This Hadith is about
the size of stones. So the size of the stone should be small, it's symbolic. Now don't go to
extremes, you examine every stone, you put your finger on it. Look just you have a rough idea. Write
something that's the size of the tip of your finger. That's all keep it like that. Don't get some
heavy stones, because that's not the purpose. So you get these small stones anywhere you want to get
them at observe was that if I get them when was it for but there's no reason to do that. And believe
00:58:05 -->
00:58:21
me, you really don't want to be spending an hour compiling stones and was terrified. Yes, 90% of the
project you're doing that you can get on to other things. Okay. So you spend the night in was that
if you wake up and you pray fudger, it was Delica. And then you go to Mina.
00:58:23 -->
00:58:31
Here is where if you're fit and up for it, I would in fact encourage you to walk it.
00:58:32 -->
00:58:36
Why it's not that much of a walk and an hour.
00:58:37 -->
00:59:10
And when I say young and healthy, I mean women do it all the time, it's just a matter of you can
walk for an hour at a regular pace, that's fine. You know, you'll get there before most of the
crowd. It's nice and healthy, fresh air. And it's just you know, there's the small gun, the hectic
traffic, you'll just get out of it right now, when you get to Minar point of advice I forgot to
mention, please make a note, memorize where your tents are in Minar on the eighth of the future,
memorize where the tents are. Because you're going to come back to the same tents on the 10th.
00:59:11 -->
00:59:46
So memorize it, and how do you memorize it very simple hamdulillah all the tents are numbered. All
the tents are numbered, and it's rows and columns. So it's very easy. And if you don't know, you ask
there are lots of Boy Scouts or lots of guides there. You say Where is number three dash 109 and
they say, Oh 3109 is that way and you'll keep on seeing you look up and you find numbers everywhere.
Okay, and once you get to 3109 you will remember where you attend to us and that's going to be your
tents. So when you walk back, you know where your tent is. And if you look around you'll even find
big maps in Arabic but you all read numbers in Arabic And it'll say where you are, you know you are
00:59:46 -->
00:59:51
here big arrow and then you see 3109 where it is and you will find it. Not a problem. Okay.
00:59:54 -->
01:00:00
Can you leave was that ever before if you are a elderly or a woman
01:00:00 -->
01:00:01
are sick then Yes, you may.
01:00:03 -->
01:00:21
And if you're young and healthy, then you should not the Profit System allowed. oma Salama, oma
selama was not sick. She was just getting on in years. She's not even old. She's the profits, right?
So I sell it. Right, she allowed all my Salama to leave Muslim, after midnight.
01:00:23 -->
01:00:28
And he allowed even a boss who was a young boy to accompany the women because he was with the women.
01:00:29 -->
01:01:10
So it is permitted without any video, without any problem for the elderly. So if you have a parent
with you, and you were taking care of the parent leave early, right? If you have your wife who's
pregnant, let's say right, then leave early. Otherwise, if you're young and healthy, so I didn't do
that almost unlimited. Right. The other ones didn't do that. One of them only out of all the profits
wise only woman selama. Why? Because she was the slowest and walking. And she was the one little bit
elderly not again, she wasn't old. She's not like in the equivalent of wheelchair, but she wants to
avoid the crowd. So even the slightest excuse to have a slight fever, go ahead got a problem. From
01:01:10 -->
01:01:21
this, we derive even the slightest legitimate excuse, you may leave before fragile after midnight.
So you spend some time in Metallica. And then you move on to Mina, what
01:01:23 -->
01:01:46
we're getting there now. So now this is on the ninth and the night of the ninth remaining in was
done if for some period is wajib, you must remain there. If you don't, you have to pay a penalty.
And the penalty is the de facto the sacrifice of another animal. Now on the 10th. On the 10th, there
are four things that are typically done.
01:01:47 -->
01:02:37
When you do two of the four things, you are out of what we call the minor heroine. And when you do
all four, then you're out of the major error. Right? What's the difference between minor and major,
major heroine? When you're out of mind you're at home, then you may do everything other than marital
intimacy. So you may resume your clothes, irregular clothes, perfume, trimming, all of this is
permitted, the only thing that is not allowed is intimacy. And then when you do all four, then
everything becomes highlighted. So what are the four things that are done on the 10th the order of
the Prophet system was as follows. But this order is not wired up, you may do it in any order. The
01:02:37 -->
01:02:56
Prophet system would number one stone, the Jonathan Cooper or the major, that what they call the big
shot on the magenta Cobra number one, number two, he would sacrifice number three, he would trim or
shave, he shaved or sell them. And number four, he did the bow off.
01:02:58 -->
01:02:59
Once again,
01:03:00 -->
01:03:08
you do the stoning of only the one on that day you only do one the large one, right. Number two is
the
01:03:09 -->
01:03:13
the sacrifice number three is the shaving. And number four is that off now.
01:03:14 -->
01:03:31
Nobody in our times does the sacrifice himself. You just buy the voucher and the coupon. So you
don't have to worry about that you assume your sacrifices done. Therefore, if if the sacrifice is
done, that leaves three things. Therefore when you do one of the three, you're out of
01:03:32 -->
01:04:01
you're out of minor. Right now. On this day, you're going to hear lots of different fatawa you trust
me, this is what I say. Two of the four Some people say one of the four Some people say three of the
four, this is an afterlife, is it one of the four, two of the four or three of the four? Right? In
my humble opinion, you do two of the four and this is what the majority say and this is what the
scholar that I'm also following everybody, the majority is a two of the four. So in our case, once
you do the jumla right,
01:04:02 -->
01:04:27
then you're out of your home because you can consider that your sacrifice has been done. However, it
makes more sense to have your hair shaved before you go back because then you take a nice shower,
just logistically speaking, right simple logistics. Your hair is going to be shaved you're going to
be feeling dirty. There's going to be some nicks and bruises and cuts not going to pay and don't
worry it looks it looks worse than it feels okay don't worry about it.
01:04:29 -->
01:04:34
And Mashallah, everybody becomes a barber on that day. That's the problem but everybody becomes a
barber on that day.
01:04:35 -->
01:04:47
But after the after the the the the stoning. You will find lots of people there. Please note 90% of
them are trimming.
01:04:49 -->
01:04:52
You don't want them. You want those who are shaving.
01:04:53 -->
01:05:00
90 if not 95% are using clippers. Right shears like
01:05:00 -->
01:05:00
They use on sheep.
01:05:02 -->
01:05:03
It's the same thing.
01:05:04 -->
01:05:18
And when they use it on you, that's little bit painful, not very painful. But what happens is,
they're not shaving, they're trimming. And so you have half an inch or something of a hair left on
your head.
01:05:20 -->
01:05:58
And to me that's so nonsensical, because neither is that a regular trim, such as you come back to
work the next day, normally, right? Nor is it a shame that you get the reward of the shape. You see
what I'm saying, because you want the reward of the shaving, because that's triple reward versus
trimming. So you need to be careful, 90, if not 95%, and you need to search for somebody who's
shaving. And of course, the sign is using the open shave, you know, and over there, they use the
open shave the old fashioned one, you open it up and they put the blade in, okay? That's the old
fashioned one point of advice. Make sure your guy uses a fresh blade for you.
01:05:59 -->
01:06:08
Some of them are cheapskates, right? Or do it yourself, if you have some experience and it or you do
it to each other. If you have some experience and the
01:06:10 -->
01:06:11
water, if you trim it, then you're trimming it.
01:06:13 -->
01:06:40
Easy ear 10, you've trimmed and you've shaved. You see I'm saying then you've trimmed. That's what
you've done. It should be shaving. Look, I mean I have done has plenty of times you will find
people, you just have to ask and look around right, you'll find people they'll shave. Once you've
done that now Alice, you are Hamdulillah, you will be looking forward to the bathrooms in minutes
for the only time in your life. Because there you will now take a shower,
01:06:41 -->
01:07:16
you will take a shower, use Mashallah perfume, soap, you're going to feel like a fresh man. And we
hope inshallah, you're literally now a new baby born. That's what the point is now as well. Right?
You will feel fresh and rejuvenated and shallow to Allah. And then you wear your regular clothes,
and put your perfume on and trim and whatever you need to do. Now it is legit. And then on the 10th,
after that, there's nothing for you to do. Once you've done that off, you may delete it off. Because
if you deleted a lot off, the only thing is you're going to be in this state of bigger harm, right?
And there is no privacy that you have to worry about that anyway. Okay, so you may delete it, I
01:07:16 -->
01:07:46
usually used to delete to the very last day. But again, I mean, once you've done a lot of had, you
start taking shortcuts, you don't want to do that, okay, if this is your first hide, you want to do
it right, you don't want to take all the shortcuts like I used to do the aim higher than that any,
once you do hydro every year, then you started getting a little bit lazy. So you want to do it
properly. So maybe on the night of the 10th, when the rush is a little bit less, a little bit
relatively less, because there's never going to be it's never going to be quiet in that time. Maybe
at midnight you go and you do to offer something like that on the 10th or whatever you want to
01:07:46 -->
01:07:57
whenever your group wants to. Once you've done your toe off, this is your main pull off to offer the
father is your main philosophy father, do they have any? You
01:07:58 -->
01:08:17
on the 11th 12th and 13th. All you need to do is to stone right now the 13th is optional, by the
way, right? The 13th is optional. What is required is 11th and 12th. But Allah says in the Koran,
Montag, jeffie yo mania for that is mighty woman.
01:08:19 -->
01:09:00
Whoever is hasty and leaves in two days, there's no sin. And whoever stays for the third day, then
there's no sin. So 11th 12th and 13th. Now you need to ask him wildermann guide the bulk of the
Hajaj leave on the 13th. They don't do it on the 13th. Sorry, they leave on the 12th Excuse me.
Yeah, so they don't do it on the 13th. So if you're not going to stone on the 13th that you don't
need to collect 70 stones. That's if you do another 21. Otherwise, if you're only doing 21 times 21.
That's 42 plus seven gives you 49. Right, so how many stones do you need? It depends on how many
days you're staying you guys following this right? Ask him why limit group most of the groups, they
01:09:00 -->
01:09:11
don't stay there for the 13 some of them do. And what I've done had some other groups they stayed
some of them left. So you need to ask your guy, most of them daily. What do you need to do on those
days? Absolutely nothing other than
01:09:12 -->
01:09:15
the stoning of all three.
01:09:16 -->
01:09:42
And that's done. These days. It's so easy once upon a time this was when the crowds and the mass
massacres, but the stampedes and all that now panela. I kind of feel cheated. And the the heroes are
so easy. It's not. It's not how it used to be. It used to be a real Jihad to go in that time and
that was you felt Hajj now it's they've changed everything. So it's hamdulillah although this is
done
01:09:43 -->
01:09:46
yeah, it used to be the good old days you come back bloodied and bruised and everything.
01:09:48 -->
01:10:00
So that's on the 11th and 12th. There's only one act left. And that is the dwarf Alberta the
farewell tour was the was the was the farewell tour and this is done
01:10:00 -->
01:10:12
The very last thing before you leave Mecca before you leave Mecca. And if you stay for another
three, four days, you do offer that when you leave not when hedge finishes. So to offer that is the
very last hedge.
01:10:13 -->
01:10:52
It is allowed to combine the top of the tent with often without, this is allowed. If you're sick, if
you have the flu, it's might be useful for you. So you delay the main flow off. And you just delay
it until the very end. And then you do it with the double intention. Just like when you enter the
masjid. You have to look out the window sooner to pray. And then you have to hit the masjid to pray.
You said call us Let me pray to God with both intention, right is just so you can combine the two
intentions. If this is your first and only hedge I wouldn't suggest that but if you're sick then
this is something the way out. And with that
01:10:56 -->
01:11:04
the word you can combine the awful father into awful without now the only issue that remains here
01:11:05 -->
01:11:15
is what are the archives and what are the words you bought the hedge and what are the sunon?
Unfortunately, I don't have time to get into this, the detail chart and this will take us many days.
Realize that
01:11:17 -->
01:11:45
the otter can have hedge and what is the rochen? If you don't do it, there is no hedge. Okay, they
are kind of Hydra very simple Alhamdulillah there's really no problem number one is gotta be the
right time and place. Nobody does hedge and show well so no problem hamdulillah right. And nobody
does hedge in Memphis, Tennessee, the algo formula, they all go from Oklahoma to LA so that's not a
problem, right time and place. Number two you have to be in the state of Islam.
01:11:46 -->
01:12:33
You have to be in the state of your home. You cannot what is the state of Iran remember, it's to say
I'm doing Hutch and to make the Nia it's not what you were if a person does hygiene a business suit,
they'll have to pay the the hedges valid. Because following this a lot of people misunderstand it
head on is a statement or a lot I'm doing hedge number two number three tawaf and sorry of the hedge
itself which you've done that offer the father decide if you were done when you came that's your
that's your sorry, right? The wife and say, that is the broken and the most important broken is part
of that you cannot make up if you don't do these things. Just make a list of this everything else
01:12:33 -->
01:13:00
you can you can make up if you don't spend the night in Basilica, if you didn't stone, all of this
can be made up how do you make it up sacrifice? sacrifice. The one mortal sin of hedge which you
don't have to worry about is intimacy that nullifies the whole hedge. Otherwise apart from that you
cannot do anything that will nullify then the hedge Realistically speaking with this, I open the
floor for q&a and this
01:13:17 -->
01:13:20
see this is a you should not do multiple cameras.
01:13:22 -->
01:13:23
Just do one remember in the beginning,
01:13:24 -->
01:13:26
you should do extra top offs.
01:13:29 -->
01:13:44
stuff is done without a home. Yes, yes, yes. Look, log on to the YouTube tonight and see pull off.
Most of the people doing the walk are not wearing a hat on the wharf is an independent unit of
worship, you do go off wearing your regular clothes.
01:13:45 -->
01:13:51
It's like the hate images for Mecca. For Makkah, the Tahitian Masjid is not off.
01:13:52 -->
01:14:03
So of course you cannot do it every time you enter because it's too busy. But if you come in the non
peak season, three months later, five months later you go you do as many thoughts as you want.
01:14:04 -->
01:14:05
Okay, yes.
01:14:14 -->
01:14:15
You
01:14:18 -->
01:14:23
Yeah, so this is where we get into the afterlife of what is the minimum amount of staying in minute.
01:14:25 -->
01:14:29
You don't have to stay a minute during the day. You just have to do the stoning.
01:14:31 -->
01:14:45
So nobody says you have to take a minute during the day. Once you've done your stone you can go to
Makkah and sit there for five hours. It's the love comes when you come back what is the minimal
quantity you need to stay in Mina and here's where you're splitting hairs here.
01:14:46 -->
01:14:54
Yeah, and if you stay the bulk of the night, which is means from Muslim till midnight, you're safe
inshallah. So you stay more than half the night in minutes.
01:14:55 -->
01:14:59
Most of you will have your tents in minutes. So you don't have to worry about this issue.
01:15:01 -->
01:15:32
Some groups have fancy hotels in a place called asiya, which is outside of Mina. Right? This is the
rare most groups, they stay in minute, you don't have to worry about it. For those who have hotels,
and as easier. The issue comes I had a number of hedge packages like this, we would literally go to
Mina in our buses and sit there for five hours, and then come back. You don't feel like he copping
out. This is a trick out, you know, it's not good. Stay in minute, like the process of it is better.
01:15:39 -->
01:15:47
Oh, yes, this is wrong. You have you've missed a minute. And then you need to pay a video for that.
Yes. This is
01:15:51 -->
01:16:09
not a problem. You need to spend the bulk of the night in minutes. Right? If you want to go to
asiya. In the daytime, there's not even it's not even my crew, and not others, you could spend the
whole day in the hotel. That's not a problem. Because what is required is you spend the night in
minute.
01:16:10 -->
01:16:15
That's what's required. So if you spend the whole day and I zz and the air conditioner hotel, not a
problem.
01:16:19 -->
01:16:47
There's no worry that the slaughter actually happens. There's no way you can find out. There's no
way so the scholars say you assume your Kobani has been done. Because, in fact, the fact of the
matter is, the ore body will continue for five days after Hajj they have to sacrifice 30 million
sheep and goat. It is statistically humanly impossible to sacrifice that many, you know at one
location, you know, so don't worry about it. Assume yours has been done and Allah knows yet.
01:16:49 -->
01:16:50
Otherwise, questions? Yes.
01:17:01 -->
01:17:10
Yeah, I mean, so the question is taking the Hajaj on the night of the eighth. There's nothing wrong
with that, per se, but they've given up the sooner
01:17:11 -->
01:17:23
right, as I said, the eighth all of it is optional. If you cancel the eighth, and on the morning,
you go to arafat, you're fine. So if they go to arafat the night before.
01:17:24 -->
01:17:33
They don't have it even pay video. There's no co founder nothing, because the eighth is preparation
to hire you. It's not the real hedge.
01:17:40 -->
01:17:40
Yes.
01:17:46 -->
01:17:58
Then the finished image has finished. So once you've done the tawaf, basically in the tomato case,
right? Because the toe off is what you delay all the rest you do right then and there at minimum,
once you do so often if other than your out everything.
01:18:00 -->
01:18:01
Other questions? Yes.
01:18:07 -->
01:18:08
I mean, it's permissible.
01:18:11 -->
01:18:13
doing multiple cameras,
01:18:14 -->
01:18:17
is not what the Profit System did.
01:18:18 -->
01:18:28
The purpose is that you go there you pray in the house, you do the love, he would do multiple
dialogues, he did more thoughts that we can count, he will do multiple drops in a day.
01:18:29 -->
01:18:40
So the notion that we have doing multiple cameras, really is not in the spirit of our religion. oma
is one per journey. That's the sooner
01:18:41 -->
01:19:05
and I speak from experience when you do it that way. You actually feel spiritually better. Because
all of your energy is dedicated to that aroma. When you go for three hours a day you cheapen the
aroma. Right? Do you make it like a ritual habit? You don't want to do that. You do one or you feel
spiritually This is the ombre. Then after that you do as many tulips as you want.
01:19:06 -->
01:19:07
Yes.
01:19:19 -->
01:19:20
Are you doing tomato?
01:19:21 -->
01:19:47
No, then when you've when you've done the ombre in the months of hedge and the months of hedge our
show was a little hard doesn't hit you. Right. So if you go after Ramadan to Makkah, you are in the
month of Hajj. Okay, so if you've done omura on the first day of chawan this counts as Roma for
tomato, as long as you don't come back to your home.
01:19:48 -->
01:20:00
They are judged by the way from Indonesia from Egypt. They do the four month or three month
Mashallah Hajj, the way it used to be done in the good old days. Your father must have done those
hedges, right. They go and they stay in
01:20:00 -->
01:20:12
maca for two months, three months. And Medina. So if they do it in that way, if they were to arrive
on the first of show while in Makkah, that is their own 104 hatch
01:20:14 -->
01:20:24
and they do their own route, then they get out of the harem and they're completely out of Iran. And
they stay, they go to Medina, they come back. And then on the morning of the eighth, they then enter
the hedge.
01:20:26 -->
01:20:28
Is that clear? Yes.
01:20:30 -->
01:20:31
And you go
01:20:33 -->
01:20:34
and you stand there and you say
01:20:41 -->
01:20:41
you do that
01:20:43 -->
01:20:45
three times and in between them you make your own taxes.
01:20:48 -->
01:21:03
No, no, you so there's a law that is mentioned in cyproheptadine others and you should look it up
and memorize it, but this is shouldn't if you don't do it, it's not going to affect the hedge, but
you should do this. There's a part of the process that would make facing the cab on Safa and Marwa
01:21:04 -->
01:21:05
and so you say this
01:21:07 -->
01:21:39
and then in between he would make his own to us. Then he would say that again. A lot of people have
relied on a lot lol Hamdi will make the draft, then he would make a draft of his own Allah give me
the good of dishwater next. And then he would say that there are three times so that's three times a
specific draft. And in between the three there are two gaps. And in these gaps you make your own
personal to us. You do that at Safa and Marwa Safa Marwah, Stefan Rosa. And then when you get to
mobile for the seventh, you just walk away. Because you don't do that. When you finish at madhwa
01:21:45 -->
01:21:48
which is why I said theory is one thing and practices and other.
01:21:50 -->
01:21:51
However you do it is fine.
01:21:53 -->
01:21:58
Yes, life is more important than, than this. So
01:22:01 -->
01:22:09
no, you don't even do anything because you've done. You've done them seven times. The draw is done
before you begin when you end.
01:22:10 -->
01:22:19
You understand me? Think about it from from the caliber, you're going to go to suffer. Right? And
when you add suffer, you make your first
01:22:20 -->
01:22:31
and then you start walking number one, then you get there draw number two, number 3456. When you
start your seventh, you make the two. When you finish the seventh, you're done.
01:22:32 -->
01:22:34
What is the ritual when you finish the seventh
01:22:35 -->
01:22:38
cutting there? You don't make the drive to seven.
01:22:40 -->
01:22:41
Okay, yes.
01:22:50 -->
01:22:58
You are worried about this issue. I'm telling you, you shouldn't be worried about it. It's not going
to happen. Especially because you're so worried about it, then you will remember to do it
01:23:03 -->
01:23:04
until you landed in Jeddah.
01:23:07 -->
01:23:13
Well, even if you said it right before landing, you're fine. But nonetheless, if you forget to enter
01:23:16 -->
01:23:43
because Mashallah you want to be perfect, I would say you should hire a cab and go to the meal cart
drive 30 minute distance, not that difficult. It's going to cost you 2030 bucks, not a big deal. You
tell the driver when to go outside the closest meal hot. So he'll drive there. And then you enter
the heart and you come back in. This is going to be the best for you. If you're with the package,
which you're going to be and you don't know how you're going to get there this and that. In this
case, you need to pay the penalty
01:23:44 -->
01:23:53
of entering the harem after the meal cost and the penalty is another sacrifice which is $200 $200
you pay the penalty.
01:23:55 -->
01:23:57
Okay, yes. Is it
01:23:59 -->
01:23:59
wrong
01:24:03 -->
01:24:18
to make the visit or just No, no no because that it habits any habits? That's when you're outside of
MCC and you don't know if you're going to get to MCC. Right. Once you're in MCC I mean you are there
so
01:24:20 -->
01:24:25
it would not be in accordance with the Sunnah. But if you were to make the condition then then you
are scot free.
01:24:29 -->
01:24:34
If you missed the waffle would die but you have done the waffle a folder.
01:24:36 -->
01:24:41
If you are a woman whose monthly cycle has started
01:24:57 -->
01:24:59
Yes, if you miss it, but you've done it
01:25:00 -->
01:25:10
farther than you can have been done. But you should pay a fee to sacrifice a hoodie for that,
because that is a watch that has been left.
01:25:11 -->
01:25:23
But it is excused for women in their monthly cycle is excused. That doesn't have to be the video.
But in your case, this is not this is no, it's not excused. So you should pay
01:25:24 -->
01:25:24
for that.
01:25:26 -->
01:25:27
few more minutes left, yes.
01:25:35 -->
01:25:47
So realistically, when you make the offer without, it's not in your control, and the driver will
tell you, for example, be ready at four o'clock for the toe off finish, right? And
01:25:49 -->
01:26:11
you'll probably finish because you're a Mashallah young man, you'll probably finish by 230 because
he's gonna time it according to the most elderly person in the group. Correct? Right. So you're
going to start with everybody else, and you should you don't want to delay it because you don't know
what's gonna happen. And you're gonna finish by 230, you're like, well, now do I do, you're gonna go
and sit, you're gonna get a shawarma to eat, you're gonna get a drink. Because it's beyond your
control.
01:26:12 -->
01:26:55
The point being, you should not delay it, except for a reason beyond your control. Right. So you
should try to have your bags as much packed as possible, and have it ready to go. And then do it.
The latest possible in the real world, it's not in your control. So you do what you can as much as
in your control, and inshallah Allah will forgive the list and have the full intention. So you
should have your bags packed everything down. But when you do come back, you're going to have
probably three hours to kill. But that's not in your control. Right? You didn't intend that. And by
the way, he's gonna say four o'clock, it'll end up being six o'clock. This is the way hedges is very
01:26:55 -->
01:26:57
frustrating, very painful. This.
01:27:09 -->
01:27:24
See, the point is doing shopping. Luxury shopping indicates that you knew you'd have time to spend
after the offer would that it's not the lawful order. And therefore, the only shopping that is
01:27:25 -->
01:27:51
permitted without any car. Ah ha, is the shopping that you need for the journey. You need to buy
water, you need to buy drinks, you need to buy food to eat on the way you cannot buy food and walk
into the habit. Right. So this you just buy the provisions to go not a problem. But to go shopping
for souvenirs. It shows that this one is not without in your mind. So this is the problem.
01:27:55 -->
01:28:02
Yes, or if it's beyond your control, you just sit there doing liquor waiting to get out but Allah
knows you've done your job.
01:28:03 -->
01:28:04
Okay?
01:28:05 -->
01:28:06
This
01:28:10 -->
01:28:31
No, no, no, you visit your friends, then you do it. What is the meaning of without? Goodbye? Right?
Literally that's what what that means. And the purpose of what that is you say your farewell to the
car but to the house of Allah. So the meaning of without the last thing that you do is the word Ah,
that's what's supposed to be
01:28:33 -->
01:28:33
this.
01:28:45 -->
01:28:54
Yes, this is one particular month, there is no reason at all. To prevent somebody to shave your
hair. If he's in the state of a home. This is
01:28:55 -->
01:29:06
being strict for no reason. It is allowed for him to shave your hair. Even if he cannot shave his
hair because you're the one getting out of it. There is no problem in him shaving your hair.
01:29:08 -->
01:29:08
This
01:29:11 -->
01:29:13
or else there's going to be the issue of who's going to be the first to trim the hair.
01:29:14 -->
01:29:24
Right? The chicken or the egg. People make religion more difficult than it needs to be. There is no
such prohibition whatsoever. This is one of those.
01:29:26 -->
01:29:27
Yes, yes.
01:29:28 -->
01:29:31
Right, a problem. Final question.
01:29:33 -->
01:29:35
Going once going.
01:29:43 -->
01:30:00
So there's a weak tradition in fact, very weak tradition that says that whoever prays 40 prayers in
my Masjid with the Gita to the harem, you know, my shofar will be why'd you for him. It's not an
authentic tradition. At the same time, what's
01:30:00 -->
01:30:03
With it, he wants to pray 40 prayers there then Hamza Allah.
01:30:06 -->
01:30:09
It is not a requirement of Hajj at all.
01:30:10 -->
01:30:38
It's not a requirement of Hajj. And therefore, if you do it, it's good because you're praying 40
prayers in Medina hamdulillah extra award. If you don't, then there's no problem at all in doing
that. It's not even certain that in my opinion, the Hadith is so weak that it doesn't even even if
it was slightly weaker, icoca helaas Bismillah. But the Hadith is close to being fabricated,
nonetheless, what's wrong with praying a day straight in the huddle? Nothing is wrong with that. So
another problem
01:30:40 -->
01:31:18
with this shuttler if there's any questions that you guys have, before you guys leave, email me or
see me in the message, not a problem. But my advice to you is choose your religious authority when
you're on your way there. And then stick with him. Do not ask multiple people. Hajj is very
complicated. And the more people you ask, we're gonna get 10 different photos, you're gonna get
confused. And Allah knows you're trying your best. You go to the shear you trust, you ask his
opinion, and the story, don't ask 20 times because it's not the time to learn. During Hutch, right?
Then I forgot to mention some practical advice of obviously, spiritual advices you should already
01:31:18 -->
01:31:20
know this philosophy always have to
01:31:21 -->
01:31:31
do this for the sake of Allah intend to return a different man or a different woman is the main
point of hedge, you come back a different person, right? If you resume the same lifestyle, then
01:31:32 -->
01:32:05
you haven't done hedged properly. So hold point. hedges means manage means to be a changing point in
your life, right? You come back a different person. If you're not praying five times a day, you need
to start praying. If you're praying five times you start praying, the sooner for praying, the sooner
start praying enough, you know, extra Quran extra, there's got to be that commitment, I'm going to
be a better person. That's the whole point of hedge the spiritual stuff aside, practical stuff.
Number one, always have money in you with you all the time. Always have cash, right? reasonable
amount, at least 100 rails, you don't need that much. Number two, always know where you are,
01:32:05 -->
01:32:35
wherever you our main aim was that if out of fat, take a bearing, see where your buses memorize it.
Number three, do not leave the group unless you have to. It is always best to stick with the group.
Okay, always be with your group. Unless you have to. The only time I tell you to go ahead and do
that is from was that if a trainer on the morning of the 10th it's actually easier to leave the
group and meet up with your group in your tents because you know where your tents are, right? It's
the only time where if you're young and Mashallah you have an hour to walk. Go ahead.
01:32:37 -->
01:33:22
Also, by the way, if you are up to it, the best hedge I ever did was the walking hedge. This will
law heat and enjoyment of its own. Because when you're walking, you're away from the smog and the
traffic and you with the human experience. Right. So if you're able to be brave about it, when do
you do the walking hedge? Basically from our fat on the ninth? I refer to myself as a long walk two
and a half hours. That's the long walk. Right? How about fat Mozilla is two and a half Mozilla
fatimata hour hour and a half very easy, not a big deal. So if you want to do that stretch, believe
me you will enjoy it much more because the walking hedge as soon as the sunsets palace you put your
01:33:22 -->
01:34:00
backpack right your waters with you another practice is always have water. Always have water. Drink
plenty of water do not get dehydrated. Right? You have your backpack with you. Food is everywhere.
There's people showing me shawarma falafel ice cream. Excellent. You have beautiful memories. No
Smaug has the best part of the walking hedge because there's a special road for the walking
pilgrims. Right? no traffic, no buses. To me the worst thing of Hajj number one The bathroom is the
whole opposite of villa. Right? Number two the smog I cannot stand the smallest of those buses it
gets it used to get me nauseous and sick. I hated it. But
01:34:01 -->
01:34:33
if you have fries I said you were going to give the video but the mask doesn't protect you fully.
You still get the smoke, which is why my best hedge was the walking Hutch. On the day of alpha. You
just have the backpack. You're ready. You're offered you're enthused Yella Bismillah you start
walking, you're never gonna get lost because everybody's heading in one direction. Okay, you're not
gonna get lost that day. So you walk when you get towards Delhi. You're all alone. You don't have to
worry about the bus. You find your place you have your but you have your sleeping bag, right? You
have your sleeping bag with you. You have your inflatable pillow, you have your water canister, I
01:34:33 -->
01:34:52
lost Bismillah you have a light dinner packed, you have your dinner you go to sleep, you wake up and
then you work you will you work your way to to Missouri for two minute excuse me, and that's really
beautiful. If you can't do that, at least do the Missouri fatimata walking if you're able to and if
not then you'll have this Miller stick with the group
01:34:57 -->
01:34:59
even between our fat and was Delica
01:35:00 -->
01:35:41
Leave me You're not gonna regret it. If you're able to walk an hour, an hour and a half, you're not
gonna regret it from was delaford to Mina. There's a huge walkway shaded, there's no sun at all. You
have no problems, water everywhere. As I said you even get ice cream, not a problem. It's a nice
experience any UCL like ice cream and not so nice experience that a problem in Shama with this. Even
if you're in a room you can eat flavored ice cream, yes, not a problem. hamdulillah and of course
the final point, please remember all of us, especially your teachers who have taught you about Hajj,
the Muslim Ummah, every please remember them on the day of alpha is the day when two is accepted,
01:35:41 -->
01:35:51
have extra sincere to offer everybody and inshallah May Allah accept your hedge. May Allah allow us
as well to do plenty of hedges in our lifetimes. Was that one okay? less than or equal not liable
