HAJJ
WHAT IS HAJJUT- TAMATT'U?
Comerel shall take you through the rites of Hajjut-
Tamatt'u, insha Allah. This is the best type of Hajj as
evidenced by the statements of the Messenger of Allah
and as practised by his companions and those who
came after them among the great scholars of this
Ummah.
It is a combination of Hajj and Umrah. The pilgrim will
perform Umrah and complete it, then await the day of
Tarwiyah (8Dhul Hijjah) and then assume the state of
Ihraam again and perform Hajj.
The steps to follow are below:
1. Do the ritual bath (ghusl) and perfume your body,
not Ihraam garment (MEN ONLY!). Women should
only do ghusl and keep clean generally.
2. Wear your Ihraam garment and do the Ihlaal from
your hotel room(i.e. stating aloud your intention for
performing Hajj) saying:
Arafah is a large
plain to the south East of Makkah. It is not a
mountain. The Mountain of Mercy (Jabalur
Rahmah) is not Arafah; standing on it is not valid.
Labayka Allahumma bi Hajj
O Allah!, here I am performing Hajj
3. Proceed to Minaa in our bus. Do not forget your
valuables and essential items like drugs, phone
chargers, extra Ihram garments and toiletries.
4. Spend the night at Minaa in your special tent where
you shall pray Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Ishaa
prayers. You shall shorten the 4-raka'ah prayers to
two but you will not combine them.
5. When the sun rises after Subhi the next day (Day of
Arafah), you will proceed to Arafah reciting the
Talbiyah as you did during Umrah.
You shall see signs written in English telling you where
Arafah starts and ends.
6. The Talbiyah is to say:
Labayka Allahumma labayk, Labayka laa shareeka laka
labayk, innal hamda, wa ni'mata laka wal mulk, laa
shareeka lak
Here I am O Allah, here I am. Here I am, no partner do
You have, here I am. Indeed all Praise, Favour and
Dominion are Yours, no partner do You have.
You can also say Allahu Akbar Instead.
7. You will recite the Talbiyah aloud until the 10th of
Dhul Hijjah.
when the sun passes its zenith) and bypass Namirah
these days due to the human traffic.
9. Pray Zuhr and 'Asr prayers shortening and
combining them at Uranah. Only one adhaan will
be made and two iqaamahs as the two prayers will
be said at the time of Zuhr. This is what you do even
if for any reason you missed the congregation and
you had to pray on your own. There is no prayer
(nafl) in between the two prayers too. Uranah is just
by the plain of Arafah.
10. Proceed to stand at 'Arafah. The best position is at
the base of the Mountain (Jabalur Rahmah). If you
can not get a spot here, anywhere within 'Arafah is
valid.
11. You face the Qiblah and make supplications and
the Talbiyah. Also Add the following:
ARABIC
Laa ilaha illallahu wahdahuu laa shareeka lahu, lahul
Mulk wa lahul hamdu, wa huwa alaa kulli shayin qadeer.
There is no deity except Allah Who has no associate, to
Him belongs the Dominion and All Praise, and He is able
to do all things.)
The Messenger of Allah said about the above dhikr:
The best thing the Prophets before me and I have
uttered in the afternoon of the day of Arafah is:
Laa ilaha illallahu wahdahuu laa shareeka lahu, lahul
Mulk wa lahul hamdu, wa huwa alaa kulli shayin qadeer.
(Silsilatul Ahaadeethis Saheehah)
12. It is Sunnah not to fast on this day if you are a
pilgrim. It is also sunnah to fast this day if you are
not a pilgrim.
13. Remain this way, making the Talbiyah and
supplicating until sunset. This is the main rite of
Hajj! Be sure to do it with utmost concentration and
Do not join those who go there to snap
photographs!
14. When the sun sets, it is already the night of the next
day; the 10th day of Dhul Hijjah and the first of the
three days of merriment (the days of Tashreeq).
Proceed to Muzdalifah where the men shall spend
the night while the women and their Mahrams shall
depart it by midnight. You will shorten Ishaa salat
and combine it with Maghrib here.
15. Immediately after Subhi, due to the great traffic
problems, you will proceed to Minaa reciting the
Talbiyah. Ordinarily, you should stand at the
Mash'aril Haraam in Muzdalifah to proceed only
just before sunrise.
16. Stick with the group and proceed to Minaa where
you pick seven tiny pebbles (about the size of the
fingertip) on the way to the Jamratul 'Aqabah (The
'Aqabah Stone).
THE RAMY (STONING)
1. Stand facing the Jamrah (stone pillar) such that the
direction of the Ka'abah is to your left while the
Minaa is to your right. Say Allahu Akbar! each time
you throw a pebble. You will see people throwing
huge rocks and even shoes and other objects!
Ignore these, as they are wrong. Your Talbiyah
stops after your last pebble.
2. If you get to Minaa before sunrise, please do not
start stoning until it is sunrise. You may stone as
late as nightfall if there was a difficulty in doing so
earlier.
3. After this, EVERYTHING except your wife is now
lawful. You may remove your Ihraam, take a bath,
wear your normal clothes and use perfume. You do
not have to slaughter an animal or shave before this
is so.
4. Make the Tawaaf of Ifaadah in Makkah before
sunset if you do not want to revert automatically to a
state of Ihraam. Proceed to get your animal

slaughtered. You get the animal through a coupon,
which you buy from the banks in Makkah. The

.
Choose the animal labelled (SR430 or $115)
and pay with your credit card or visa debit card. Get
the full details at website. By the way, the best
animal is the camel but rams are what you get
online.
5. Those who cannot afford a Hady or could not get
one will fast for the three days of Tashreeq (10th,
11th and 12th Dhul Hijjah) and then seven
consecutive days when they get home. See Q2:
196 for details
6. Shave/cut your hair (MEN) or take an inch's length
of your hair when you gather it together (WOMEN).
The barber should start from the right side of the
head.
7. You move to the Mosque in Makkah to do the
Tawaaful Ifaadah. All actions here are the same as
your initial Tawaaf when you came to Makkah from

Madeenah. The only difference is that you are no longer
wearing Ihraam clothes and men do not do the
Raml (brisk walk in the first three circuits) anymore.
Do two Raka'ahs as before too.
8. You do the Sa'ay of Safaa and Marwah.
9. After this, EVERYTHING INCLUDING YOUR
WIVE(S) is lawful for you.
10. Observe your Zuhr prayer, then go and drink
ZamZam water if possible.
11. Return to Minaa and spend the next two days and
nights there.
12. Pick seven pebbles in three places (totalling 21
pieces) each day and use them to stone the three
stone pillars called the Jamaraat. You start with the
closest stone pillar to Minaa this time unlike the
initial stoning at 'Aqabah.
13. Throw the seven stones then face the Qiblah, raise
your hands and supplicate for a long while, then
move on to the middle one and finally the last one
the Jamratul Aqabah following the same steps

except that you will not make dua here. This will come as
a surprise to some who are used to reading that the
Aqabah pillar is stoned facing the Qiblah. Read the
hadeeth of Ibn Mas'uud describing the Prophet's
hajj in Saheehul Bukhaareey and Muslim for proof.
14. Comerel tents are within the stoning area and
therefore the task has been made very easy, insha
Allah. Watch when the crowd is thinnest to go and
stone. Keep your tags and watch out for
stampedes. Use landmarks to locate where your
group is staying
15. You can stay two or three days in Minaa; both
options are valid.
16. The order of the Manaasik (rites) of Hajj in these
three days is stoning then slaughter then
shaving/cutting hair then Tawaaful Ifaadah then the
Sa'ay. However, if the order is mixed up due to one
reason or the other, there is no harm.
17. If you can pray all your daily prayers in the Masjid of
Khaif, this is the best. The Rasul said seventy
38 Copyright Comerel Travels and Tours Ltd 2009
Khaif, this is the best. The Rasul said seventy prophets
have prayed there.
18. On the 12th Dhul Hijjah, return to Makkah and do
your farewell Tawaaf (Tawaaful Wadaa'). When you
finish the Tawaaf, go out of the mosque with your
left foot saying:
Allahumma salli alaa Muhammadin wa sallim.
Allahumma innee as aluka min fadlik
O Allah! Shower your Blessing and Mercies on
Muhammad. O Allah! I ask You of Your Bounties.
19. Go back to your room to start packing for the trip
back home.
This is an effort to give you a concise account of the rites
of Hajj and Umrah as we find from the books of hadeeth
and the scholars. Any error in it is entirely our fault and
that of Ash Shaytaan, the accursed, and not due to any
deficiency in the religion. Any accuracy therein is from
Allah the Custodian of Success.
