Pilgrim (Hajj)
The arrival of pilgrims for Hajj in Mecca is starting from today. Regular payment of Hajj members will start from Saturday night.
Every year on the 8th to 12th of the Islamic month of Dhi Al-Hajj, certain members are paid in Makkah. The payment of these members is called 'Hajj' in Islamic terminology.
Hajj is one of the five basic pillars of Islam and is a once-in-a-lifetime obligation for every able-bodied adult Muslim.
Due to the global epidemic of corona, only 60,000 locals will be able to perform the Hajj this year.
Hajj is being performed for the second time in a row in the world due to the global epidemic of coronavirus, in which only Saudi citizens or Muslims from other countries who have received both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine are performing it. Will be able to participate.
How many members of Hajj are there? Hajj consists of four members, the first member of which is the first ihram, that is, the wearing of two sewn clothes without the intention of Hajj.
The second member is Waqf Arafah, that is, staying in the field of Arafat. The third part of Tawaf is to visit the Ka'bah seven times.
The fourth member is Sa'i, ie running seven times between Safa and Marwa.
Apart from these four, the rest of the members are either included in the obligations or they are counted in Sunan. The order of the members is 5 days of Hajj. That is, from 8th Dhul-Hijjah to 12th Dhul-Hijjah, all the members of Hajj are paid.
Pilgrims enter ihram on the 8th of Dhul-Hijjah near Makkah or the Haram, and after entering ihram, they begin to recite the talbiyyah, ie, "Labeek-ul-Lahim-Labeek."
On the first day of Hajj, on the 8th of Dhul-Hijjah, from noon to dawn of the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah, five prayers have to be offered in Mina. Arafat is then turned to.
The second day of Hajj is the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah. After sunrise, the pilgrims leave for Arafat, where they perform the Zuhr and Asr prayers. Staying in the field of Arafat on this day is called Waqf Arafah and this is the day of the actual Hajj, ie if a person performs all the rituals except Waqf Arafah then his Hajj will not be performed
Later, after sunset, the pilgrims leave Arafat for Muzdalifah and perform the Maghrib and Isha prayers at Muzdalifah together. Pilgrims spend the night in Muzdalifah and collect pebbles for rummy stones here.
Ground for pilgrims, first floor reserved for Tawaf
The third day of Hajj is the 10th Dhul-Hijjah. Pilgrims first throw stones at the devil and then sacrifice. Tawaf Ziarat, Drinking of Zam Zam, Safa Marwah is also performed on the same day.
On the fourth and fifth day of Hajj, the 11th and 12th of Dhul-Hijjah, the pilgrims stay in Mena and again throw pebbles at the devils. Afterwards, they perform Tawaf al-Wada (last Tawaf).
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said that the accepted pilgrim by Allah, cleansed people sins as they were born innocent from his mother's womb.
