Hajj the Duties and Rulings

7 - 11. the Duties in Makkah

After discharging the duties of MINA, the HAAJJ (pilgrim) goes to Makkah, on the same Day of Eid, to perform five duties:

1. TAWAAF AL-ZEYAARAH

The NEYYAH for this is: "I do TAWAAF AL- ZEYAARAH as ordered by Allah Almighty" 2. The SALA of TAWAAF AL-ZEYAARAH by, or behind, MAQAAM IBRAHIM (pbuh).

The NEYYAH for the SALA (prayer), which is of two Rak'ats, is: "USALLI (I pray) two Rak'ats of SALA of TAWAAF AL-ZEYAARAH, seeking nearness to Allah Almighty."

  1. SA'Y between the SAFA and MARWAH, as mentioned previously. The NEYYAH is: "AS'EI (I strife) between the SAFA and MARWAH for the HAJJ of TAMATTU', seeking nearness to Allah Almighty."

  2. TAWAAF AL-NISAA' - it is like the TAWAAF AL-ZEYAARAH but with intention or NEYYAH: "I do TAWAAF AL- NISAA' as ordered by Allah Almighty"

  3. The SALA of TAWAAF AL-NISAA' which is two Rak'ats with the NEYYAH: "USALLI (I pray) two Rak'ats of SALA of TAWAAF AL-NISAA', seeking nearness to Allah Almighty."

Two points

There is no objection to staying in MINA on the 10th day, the Eid Day, to do the duties of MINA and to remain there for the rest of the day. One may then go to Makkah to perform its duties on the 11 or the 12 or even after finishing all the duties of MINA.

After performing all the duties of Makkah, everything becomes Halal to the HAAJJ (the pilgrim) such as dwelling with one's spouse, the usage of scent and perfume, etc. except two things:

  1. Hunting,

  2. Uprooting the trees and vegetation of the Holy Mosque (this because of the sanctity of the Mosque rather than the restriction of the IHRAAM).

12. MABEET in MINA

The HAAJJ must remain in MINA on the eve ththof 11 and the 12 , and if he approached his wife while in the status of IHRAAM or engaged in hunting, then he must also remain thin MINA on the eve of the 13 . The NEYYAH for the MABEET is: "ABEETU (I stay) in MINA seeking nearness to Allah Almighty."

The obligatory duration of MABEET is half of the night, whether the first half or the second half of the night. One may also spend this time in Makkah in acts worship instead of the MABEET in MINA.

If the HAAJJ does not approach his wife (for sexual contact), or does not hunt while in IHRAAM, he may leave MINA on the after thnoon of the 12 , but if he stayed in MINA on ththe 12 until sunset, then he must continues ththe MABEET in MINA for the eve of the 13 .

If the HAAJJ does not perform MABEET in MINA, (stay in MINA) he must pay CAFFARAH of one sheep per day, and in that case he would have committed disobedience if he intentionally did not stay in MINA but his HAJJ will correct.
