Continuation of the discussion on the rituals of Hajj.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : You passed the Yemeni Corner but were unable to touch it, so there is no indication [to do so]. When you have completed seven circuits, proceed to the Station of Ibrahim and recite: [Al-Baqarah 2:125] Remind yourself of this verse so that you feel that you are proceeding to the Station of Ibrahim in obedience to the command of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Then pray two light rak'ahs behind the Station, reciting in the first after al-Fatihah: and in the second after it: [Al-Ikhlas 112:1] Then leave immediately when you finish the two rak'ahs and do not sit for supplication, because this is not a place for supplication; it is for prayer only. Keep it light, because this is the Sunnah, and so that you clear the place for those who wish to pray there. Then exit the Sacred Mosque heading toward al-Safa, and take the left side in your direction to al-Safa. For example, if there is a crowd or people praying between you and the direction of al-Safa, go from another place, because the intention is to reach al-Safa. Then, when you face al-Safa, recite: [Al-Baqarah 2:158] Start with what Allah started with, before you ascend al-Safa, so that you feel that you came to this because it is one of the symbols of Allah. Start with al-Safa and ascend it until you see the Ka'bah and face it, raise your hands for supplication, and say: Sahih Muslim 1218a Then say takbir, then supplicate with whatever you wish, then repeat the dhikr a second time and supplicate, then repeat the dhikr a third time and do not supplicate after it, but descend heading toward al-Marwah. Walk in your usual manner until you reach the place of sa'y, which is the running, and that is between the two green markers. Then run vigorously, meaning run with great effort, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) did, for he ran in this place with great effort until his lower garment would turn around him from the intensity of the running. Then walk in your usual manner after the second marker until you reach al-Marwah. Ascend it, face the qiblah, raise your hands, and say what you said on al-Safa. Then descend from it heading toward al-Safa, walking in the place of walking and running in the place of running, until you complete seven circuits from al-Safa to al-Marwah; one circuit from al-Safa to al-Marwah and another from al-Marwah to al-Safa. During the sa'y, say whatever you wish of dhikr or recitation of the Qur'an, because the tawaf of the House, and of al-Safa and al-Marwah, and the stoning of the pillars were established for the remembrance of Allah. When you have completed seven circuits, the sa'y is finished. Then shorten your hair, covering the entire head as an act of worship to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and do not shave in order to preserve hair for Hajj. With that, the 'Umrah is finished, and you are released from all the prohibitions of ihram. Everything that is permissible for one who has exited ihram becomes permissible to you, such as approaching women if your wife is with you, using perfume, and wearing clothes, and so on, except for hunting, which is not permissible to you as long as you are inside the Haram, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said in Makkah: Based on this, we point out that the locusts around the Haram are respected; it is not permissible to hunt them or kill them, nor even to drive them away. If you drive them away by passing by them, there is nothing on you, but if you intentionally go to these locusts to drive them away, if you do that, you have disobeyed the command of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), where he said: Locusts are among game. With this, the 'Umrah is finished, and the mention of Hajj will come, if Allah wills, because the time has now come for questions. Yes.
The student: I ask
The Shaykh : No, no, do not ask if there is someone among the guests who is asking. Yes, please go ahead.
And take, [O believers], from the standing place of Abraham a place of prayer.
وَاتَّخِذُوا مِنْ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلّىًSay: O you disbelievers!
قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَSay, "He is Allah, [who is] One,
قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌIndeed, as-Safa and al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allah
إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِThere is no god but Allah, One, there is no partner with Him. His is the Sovereignty. to Him praise is due. and He is Powerful over everything. There is no god but Allah alone, Who fulfilled His promise, helped His servant and routed the confederates alone.
لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له له الملك وله الحمد وهو على كل شيء قدير لا إله إلا الله وحده أنجز وعده ونصر عبده وهزم الأحزاب وحدهDo not drive away its game
