Ihram
It is the first obligation of Hajj and the same as that of
`Umrah regarding conditions, manner, prohibited things during it, rules and
kaffarahs. It differs only in niyyah, i.e. one should intend to perform the
practices of Hajj. All things considered in the niyyah of ihram for `Umrah
would be observed here as well. Ihram would be achieved with niyyah, then if
one intended Hajj and did talbiyah, his ihram would be achieved. However,
ihram of Hajj has some particularities which will be mentioned in the
following issues:
-
The Miqat of ihram for Hajj al-tamattu` is Mecca al-mukarramah and it
is better that it be done in the Masjid al-Haram. It is valid, also, to do
ihram at any place in Mecca even the new ones, although ihtiyat prefers it
be done in the old places. However, if one is in doubt whether this place
is within Mecca or not, it is incorrect to do ihram from this place.
-
It is wajib to do ihram before the time of zawal (noon) of the 9th of
Dhu'l-Hijjah to attend the normal wuquf of `Arafat, and the best time for
ihram is at the zawal of the Day of Tarwiyah (the 8th of Dhu'l-Hijjah). It
is permissible to do ihram before that time especially for the old and
sick if they are afraid of crowdedness. It had been mentioned that ihram
for Hajj could be advanced for those who want to get out of Mecca for some
purposes after performing the `Umrah.
-
One who forgot ihram and set off for Mina and `Arafat he is obliged to
go back to Mecca and do ihram. If this was impossible because of time
limitations or due to another excuse, he could do ihram at his place and
his Hajj would be correct. Apparently ignorance is considered to have the
same rules as forgetfulness.
-
If one forgot ihram until he finished the Hajj rituals, his Hajj would
be correct. Ignorance of the ruling will be considered just like that of
forgetfulness. However, it is based on ihtiyat al-mustahabb to repeat the
Hajj the next year, whether he was ignorant or forgetful.
-
One who, consciously and deliberately, had neglected ihram until he
could not attain wuquf at `Arafat and Mash`ar, his Hajj is void.
-
One, who is allowed to advance the rituals of Mecca before the two
wuqufs, is obliged to perform them with ihram and if he had done them
without it, he must repeat them with ihram.
