==In Hajj== | |||
Ihram is the very first obligation of hajj. Ihram of hajj is the same as the ihram of [['umra]] in terms of quality, conditions, rules, kaffara, and prohibited things. The difference lies only with intention i.e. one should become muhrim with the intention of performing the rituals of hajj. All aspects about ihram for 'umra hold equal validity for ihram of hajj. Ihram starts with making intention and saying [[talbiya]]. However, ihram of hajj has its certain characteristics which will be mentioned below. | |||
The [[miqat]] of ihram for [[hajj al-tamattu']] is the holy city of Mecca. It is better that a person becomes muhrim in the holy [[Masjid al-Haram]]. To become muhrim in any place in the holy city of Mecca is valid even in the newly built areas. There is a caution to become muhrim in the old places of the city. However, if a person doubts whether this place is within the holy city of Mecca or not, it is incorrect to become muhrim in it. | |||
It is obligatory to become muhrim early enough to reach the land of [['Arafat]] on the [[9th of Dhu l-Hijja]] by noon. The best time for wearing ihram is at the noon on the [[8th of Dhu l-Hijja]] (the day of Tarwiya). It is permissible to wear ihram before that time especially for the old and sick people who are afraid of crowd. Those who need urgently to exit the holy city of Mecca may also wear their ihram before the mentioned time. | |||
If a person forgets to wear ihram and goes to [[Mina]] and [['Arafat]], it is obligatory for him to go back to the holy city of Mecca and become muhrim. If this is impossible due to shortage of time or any other excuse, he can wear ihram in the place of remembrance and his hajj would be valid. The same ruling applies to a person who is unaware of the rule. If a person forgets to wear ihram and he/she finishes the rituals of hajj, his/her hajj would be valid. The same ruling applies to a person who does not know the rule. However, on the basis of mustahabb caution, they may perform hajj the next year again. | |||
If a person neglects ihram consciously and deliberately until he misses [[wuquf at 'Arafat|wuquf (stay) at 'Arafat]] and [[Mash'ar]], his hajj is void. | |||
A person, who is allowed to perform the rites of Mecca before the wuquf at 'Arafat and [[Mash'ar]], should perform these deeds in state of ihram. In case, they perform them without ihram, they should repeat the acts of worship in state of ihram. | |||
