    The phrase "who ((In afford it" implies a condition On whom Uajj is obligatory; that one must have enough provisions and means oftransportation to travel to Mecca and return back to one', folk ..

    with any other color provided it is traditionally men. The idtabehind this is to withdraw on. .df from luxury and to have the feelingof asubmissive servant ofAllah through wearing such humbledothing.Morem",r, such clothing always reminds one oft>eing in a stateof b.nlm.and thus one keeps alert and avoids committi ng the acts prohibitedduring ib.rnm. The clothing of iarnm reminds one of death, the shroudof dead people, and the Day of Resurrection, and so On and so forth. Inaddition. taking off sewn clothes before intending to assume ihrdm isan act of the SUllllah, but it is obligatory ait assuming ibnlm. So, if apilgrim intends assuming ib.mm while ,till wearing his ordinary sewndo thes. his ihrdm is considered valid, bUI he is then obliged to take suchdoth . off and put on the dothes of ihnlm.

    By fulfilling the aforesaid prerequisites, a pilgrim is thus prep.red to be ina state of ihrJm, but such acts Ihemsdvrs a", not called i/lrdm as many peoplemistakenly believe; ib.mm meanS the intention of starting performing Ihe ritesofHajj or Umrah. Accordingly. a pilgrim is not conside",d in a slate of j/lrdmonce he takes off his sewn clothes and wears the afo",menlioned clothing ofihrdm without having the intention of starting performing the rites of l;1ajj or.Ummh. This is th e Prophet (PBUH) said:

    "Indeed, (the correClrless and rewards of) deeds depend uponintentions . .As for praying befo", assuming ib.rnm, the more valid opinion is that thereis not a kind of prayer to be offered before ihrdm. However, if the time

    of ihrdm coincides with an obligatory prayN, then a pilgrim is to performthe obligatory prayer first then assume i/Jrdm. To illustrate, it was narratedthat the Prophet (PBUH) assumed i/Jr

    "Then is COnSeJ15U5 that everything that touches the with thepurpose of coveriMg it, sllch as turban, a cap, a hat. or anythingelse. is prohibited (durhlg ibram)."

    This is appli'able to a ll $ort, of head covers, be it somethi ng usual such a$ aturban or u nusual such as a paper, mu d, or a headband. A mub"im canseek shelter of a tent, a tree. or a house, for it was narrat.d that a tent waSpitched for the Prophet (PBVH) to take shelter therein while being in a stateof O n the other hand, it is permissible for a mubrim 10 use an umbrellafor shading. only when necessary. Likewise, it i$ permissible for a mullrim toride a car with a roof or carry his baggage hi$ head. provided not for thepurpose of co,,",ring the head.Fourth: It is also for a male muhrim 10 wear sewn dothes to covera ll or parts of the body. such as a sh irt, a turban, or a pair oftrousers. Similarl)'.it i, for a male mubrim to wear anything made exactly to fit a part of the body, such as shoes, or socks. It is narrated in theTwo that when the Prophet (PB V H) was what a mub,;m shouldwcar, he (PBUH)

    "A m uIJrim should 'lOt wear a shirt, or a tllrban, or a hooded doa k,or a pair of rousers, or U dllth touched with 'wars' (a yellow good-smelled plant usedfor dyeing) or with saffron. nor (should he wear)khuffs (leather socks or shoes)."

    After a pilgrim performs the Z"hr and the "AIr Prayers. shortening andcombining them (for he is a1 . Arafah), he should spend the reSi of the dayremembering. invoking. glorifying, and praising Allah, seeking His forgiveness.and so On and sO forth. This is to b. done while a pilgrim is st icking to hisplace at . ATafah. In other words. a pilgrim does not have to go to the Mountof Ar-Rahmah. or to watch it , or even 10 face it, while performing suchsupplications: standing anywhere;)1 ' Arafah while facing the direction (If theKa 'bah is mfficien!.

    A pilgrim should spa,e no effort supplicating Allah and turning to Himin repemance on such a glorious cla)', whether he is walking, sitting. riding.standing, or even lying down. He should also choose the mo,t comprehensive,upplicat ions that were reported to have been observed by the Prophet (PBUH).for he (PBUH) said:

    "The best supplication is tile 0I1e on the Day of 'Arafa/t. and thebest thing which I and th prophets before me haye said is: 'Thereis no deity but Allah Alone, Who has no partner. To Him belongsdominion, and to Him belong, (all) praise. and He is oyer aI/thingsOmnipotent: ...

    A pilgrim keeps supplicating Allah at 'Arafah until sunse!. It is irnp"r-missible to leave bt:fore sunset. and if a pilgrim does, he go back soonbefore sunset, to it there. However. if a pilgrim leaves' Arafah beforesunset and does nO! go back, he is then obliged to slaughter a shp of Hajj(o r 10 get one seventh of a camel or a cow) and divide it among the poorresidents of the Sanctuary of Mecca in expiation for missing an obligatoryritual of Hajj.

    The Day of . Arafah starts from the noon of the ninth of Dhulfijjjahuntil the dawn oflhe tenth of Dhul' Hijjah (the Day of the feast of Sacrifice)according 10 Ihe sound opinion in Ihi' regard. As for a pilgrim who is presenta t ' Arafah at daytime. he i , obliged to stay there until sunset as we previouslysaid. But if someone arrives at 'Arafah at night. it is sufficient for him to staythere for any length of time. even if for only one moment, as the Prophet(PBUH) said,

    "If anyone gets (i.e. stays at ) 'Arafah befort: the dawn (o f the tentho/DhulHij jah) breaks, then he has performed Hajj."'

    Acts on Muzdalifah and Mina

    When the sun sdson the Dayof' Arafah (the ninth ofDhu] -liijjah), pilgrimsleave' Arafah s..tting out for Muzdalifah calmly and tranquilly, for J1bi r (mayAllah leased with him) narraled:

    H t (the Prophet) kept standing there (al 'Arafilh) until sUl1.Iet,when rheyellow light had somew/mr gone, and rhe di,. of lire ,unhad dioappeared. Ht (PBUH) then mounted Usllmalr behind /rim,and pulled Ihe reins of AI-Oa.!wll' (tire name of Iris she-camel) soforcefully That iTS head touched rhe saddle (in order 10 keep it under/ull control), and he (PBUH) pointed to the people with his righthand saying, '0 peopk! Be moderate (in 'peed)! Be moderate.!"

    Thus. pilgrims must be in a state of tranquility and serenity while leaving'ATafah and heading for Mumalifah, avoiding jostling against thtir fdlowpilgrims, pushing them, or disturbing them with their CarS, A pilgrim shouldalso have mercy on the walking weak and old people al such. crowd. 11 is

    It is . n of the Su",oah (Prophetic Tr.dition) to spend the night atMuzdalifah .n d offer (he Fajr Prayer al its due time. After th.t, while slandingat MU1dalifah, a pilgrim keeps on supplicating Allah until the daylight spreads.Then, before sunrise, a pilgrim proceeds to Mina. As regards feeble I,ilgrims,such as old people, women, children and the like, " ' well as those who takeof them, they are allowed to head for Mina after midnight or when themoon disappears, instead of waiting (It Muzd.lifah until dawn. However,healthy pilgrims who do nO! have any weak people with them should notleave Mu?dalifah before offering the Flljr Prayer, and they should !tay untilthe daylight !prc3ds.

    Spending the night at Muroalifah is one of the duties of Hajj. A pilgrimwho entns Muzdalifah before midnight must not leave before dawn. As for apilgrim who arrives there after midnight, it is sufficient for him to spend anylength of time there. Stili, it is much be11er in the latter case to stay unt il dawn,offering the Fajr (Dawn) Prayer and fo llowing il with supplicating Allah. IbnQudamah stated in his book entitled 'AI-M"gh"; ' (the S"fficient);

    "There i, no I,arm m, tl,e one Wl10 arrivf5 at Muzdalifah in thesecond I'aifof rile "ighr, a"d rhe previOI'S n,ling ",IlW performiag them)."'So, leaving Muzdalifah (and heading for Mina) afler midnight is permiss ible

    only for those who have legal excuses, as ind icated in Afterwards, a pilgrim heads for Min. shortly before sunrise (of the tenth

    ofDhulHijjah, i.e. the Day of Sac rifice), as 'Umar IbnulKhanab (may Allahbe pleasm with him) said,"The polytheists did not "se to depMt (from lam', i.e. M"zdalifah)u"fiI the 5un had rise", and they wed to say, 'Let rhe sun shine OIl

    .,. v, i/IJ!A pilgrim has to throw pebbles at each of the three Jamrahs of Mirul on

    each of the DaY' of Tashriq. Throwing pt:bbles is to be performed when thesun declines (i.e. at noon), as (may Allah M pleased with him) narrated:

    "AlIahs MfSsenger (PBUH) threw pebbles on the Day of Sacrificea/ midmaming, and after that (i.t. On the deventh, twelfth, andthirteenth ofDhul-Hijjah) (he used to throw pebbles) when Ihe sunhad declined." '(Related by the Group of Compilers ofHadlth)

    Moreovtr, Ibn 'Urnar (may Allah k plea",d with him) said,'We used /0 wail unlilthe sun dee/ined and then we would throwthe pebbles:'(Related by Al Bukhliri and Abii D1wi1d)

    This shows that the Prophet and his Companions used to observe theappropriate time for throwing pebbles. 50 pilgrims should follow in theProphet's footsteps. as he (PBUH) said:

    MLearn your rituals from me (by seeing me paforming thtm):Thus. the appropriate time for throwing pebbles on the thue Days ofTashriq (the eleventh. twelfth. and thirteenth of Dhu l-Hijjah) is after the Sundeclines; it is insufficient to throw the pebbles before that time; rather. we

    should follow the example of the Prophet (PBUH) who said:your rituals from me (by 5ee;"g me performing them)."

    All acts ofworship must be performed at the time specified by the Prophet(PBUH) in his Sutltwh . For example. prayer has specific times at which it is tobe performed; otherwise, it is impermissible. throwing the pebbleshas to be performed at the times specified by the Prophet (PBUH).

    The gre.t Muslim scholar, Ibnul-Qayyim (may Allah have mercyon him). in his description of the Prophet's (PBUH) way of throwing pebblesas stated in the honorable Sunnah. said:

    'The Prophet (PBUH) rrturned tQ Mincl after performing the IfcldahIawJf, and spem the nigl,t tl,ere.

He (PBUH) stoned it with Sevenconsecutivepebbles, saying. "AJllhu-Akbar (i.e. Allah is Ihe Grealtsl)

    upon throwing eMh pebble. Afler Ihat, he (PBUH) approoched i l(the First /amrah) until he became so near, and then he faced liteqiblah, mised his hands and kept supplicating AUah for quite a longtime approximately equivalent to the time taken 10 recile the Suraof AI-Baqarnh (the Cow/. Aflerwards, he (PBUH) moved towardsIhe Middle /amrah and sloned il in Ihe same way, Then, he movedleftwards near the "aUo/,faced Ihe qiblah, raised his hands, slayingalthe bol/om of the "alley and standing so that Ihe House (i,e, the/(a 'bah) wa s on hislFft and Minll on his right, and stoned the wstlamroh (JamralUl- 'Aqabah) with seven pebbles as well .. '

    Ibnul-Qayyim ,After he (PBUH) had inished sloning (Ihe Last lamrah; lamratul-'Aqabah), he hurried back without stopping there to supplicate, Itwas said Ihal he did not stop there because of the huge throng ofpilgrirm, 11 wus also said, and this is the most valid opinion, Iha!the Prophet (PBUH) used to stop to make suppUcation during theaCI of worship itself (as he did a/ rhe First lamrah and the MiddleJamt'(lh), So, whell he finished staffing the Last lammh (/amra/u/.'Aqabah), he thus finuhed performing Ihe ac/ of worship, namelythrowing the pebbles (so he did no/ stop there /0 suppllUlte Allah),bea ring in mind that makingsupplication during an act ofworship isbetter than doing after finishing it, 1'his is just like the case ofmaki:ngsupplications during prayers; the Prophet (PBUH) used to makesuppliUltions during prayer itself. not after finishing it,- '

    Thus, throwing the has to be in the following Apilgrim should staM with the Firstlamrah which is the nearest to andAl-Khayf Mosque, the one that follows it namely the Middk Jamrah,and finally the Last }amrah (famrallll .Aqabah, which is also called 'the Great}amrah' ), last of the three }amrahs nearest to Mecca, A pilgrim shouldthrow sev"n consecutive pdIbles at raising his hands upon eachthrow and saying, - AlMhu-Akbar" (i.e, Allah is the Greatest)_ n addit ion, eachpebble should be thrown into the throwing place (the fenced area surroundingthe pillar) whether it settles or not after falling inside; it is insufficient if apebble fa lls outside it, and another has to be thrown in compensation.

    As for pilgrims who cannOt throw the pebbles themselves to sicknessor old age. as well as pregnant women and those women who might be harmedby the throng of p ilg rims, it is permissible for them to ask somrone else to

    Two equal ewes, with nearly the same age and shape, are to be sacr ificedas 'aqlqah for a newborn boy, whereas onc ewe is to be sacrificed for anewborn girl. Umm Korz AI -Ka' biyyah narrated that she had heard theProphet (PBUH) saying:

    "Two equal ewes are 10 be sacrificed for the (newborn) boy and oneewe iJ 10 be sacrificedfor a (ne wborn) girl: '(Related by Ahmad and At-Tirmidh! who t (authentic) according to a baditll narrated by 'A'ishah)

    The difference in the number of the sacrificial an imals offered as ' aqiqahfor males and females is due to the fact that a male's portion of inheritancein tslam is equal to that of two females, Moreover, the of a fatherwhom Allah grants a boy is usually much greater than the CaSe of beinggranted a girl; this is why 'oqiqali, which is offered as a sign of gratitude toAllah, is double ia case of a newborn hoy,

    Regarding the time of offering 'aqlqa/r , it is preferable to be on theseventh day after the child's birth, However, it is permissible to offer itbefore Or after that day, [t i. also more preferable to name the child onthat day, as it is stated in the Sut/an and other books of HadUh that theProphet (PBUH) said:

    is made for him (tIl e newborn baby) on Ihe seventh dayand he is to be named as well (on thal day)."'

    Jt is permissible, however, to name the child on the day of hi51her birth,for some scholars maintain that this is more preponderant than naming thechild on seventh day ofhis/her birth,
