.


Hajj Qiraan

If you are performing Hajj Qiraan:

1) You will enter the state of ihraam with the intention of performing both - Umrah and Hajj on or before reaching Meeqaat. Study and follow the section on ihraam. However, make sure you make intention of both Umrah and Hajj.

2) On reaching Makkah, make necessary arrangements and go to Al Masjidul Haraam and perform Umrah (i.e. tawaaf and sa'ee). Study and follow the section on tawaaf and sa'ee.
Mas'alah: Do not shave or trim after sa'ee.

3) After completing sa'ee, perform a second tawaaf. This second tawaaf is tawaafe qudoom which is sunnah.
Mas'alah: If you are going to perform sa'ee of Hajj after this tawaaf, then this tawaaf will be performed with idhtibaa in all seven rounds and ramal in the first three rounds only.

4) Now perform sa'ee once again. This is the sa'ee for Hajj.
Mas'alah: Sa'ee of Hajj can be performed after tawaafe ziyaarat too, but for those performing Hajj Qiraan, it is more preferable and better to perform it after tawaafe qudoom.

5) Now you will remain in Makkah Mukarramah in the state of ihraam. You will not adopt another ihraam for Hajj.

6) Follow the Five days of Hajj.
