		<description>Assalamualaikum ww

I found unspeakable experience during Haj pilgrim. My suggestion is it is important for every Muslim to maintain self dicipline and the purpose of Haj in order to gain Ridha Allah dan high benefits. It is also important to promote the essence of dicipline, cleaness, orderness then Insya Allah will gain Khusyuk and Haj mambrur/mabrurah..

Wassalam</description>

		<description>Q. What if someone who reached Arafa after sunset?

A. His Arafa stay is counted, based on the Hadith [the shaikh mentioned the name, but note taker forgot] where a man who ate his camel and couldn&#039;t reach Arafa during the day time. The prophet (SAW) said he is fine.

Q. What about Muzdalifa?

A. Staying Muzdalifa at night is one of Wajibat (Wajib) of Hajj, and praying Fajr there is a Rukun, according to many scholars.</description>

Hajj Questions 

   1. When starting tawaaf around the ka`bah (for `umrah tawaaf and tawaaf ul Ifaadah), men are supposed to walk swiftly for 3 circuits.  If they are with their spouses, does the wife also walk swiftly?

   2. After 7th tawaaf, placing Maqaam-e-Ibrahim between yourself nad the ka`bah, you are supposed to pray 2 raka`ahs.  What if there is no place to pray?

 

      Pray anywhere

   7. During the travel from Makkah to Mina, Mina to `Arafat, etc., can we recite any personal dua`s we want?  Is it permissible to speak to each other during that time?

 

      yes 

   8. a) After stoning Jamaraat-ul-`Aqabah al-Kubrah, should we accompany the group leader to witness the sacrifice or can we leave it to him to fulfill it?

 

      If easy, not required

      b) In case we do not have to witness it, can we go directly to Makkah for Tawaaf-ul-Ifaadah (instead of going to Mina)?

  10. After Tawaaf-ul-Ifaadah, should the dhuhr prayer be made at Makkah (and then go to Mina) or should you pray in Mina (as stated by Ibn `Umar)?

 

      Either can be done 

  11. Upon returning to Mina after Tawaaf-ul-Ifaadah, are there any special supplications to recite the rest of the day or can you recite any personal dua`s (since there are no more manasik of Hajj for that day)?

 

      no 

  12. After stoning each of the two smaller Jamaraat, you are supposed to stand for a long time and supplicate with raised hands.  How can that be done with so many people stoning around you?

 

      Go to the side where there is space 

  13. After Tawaaf-al-Wada, you don’t pray behind the Maqaam-e-Ibrahim?

Yes, not for Wada, you just leave.</description>
