The Rituals of Hajj

prayer, pilgrims should wear Ihram, which consists of two unstitched garments: a lower garment (Izar) and an upper garment (Rida). They should apply perfume and, upon entering the Haram, perform the Tawaf of the Ka‘bah. After completing the Tawaf, they should offer a two-unit prayer (Rak‘atain) of Salah al-Tawaf near Maqam Ibrahim. After supplicating and seeking forgiveness, they should perform two Rakats of prayer with the intention of Ihram. During this prayer, the head should be covered with the Ihram sheet. Upon completion of the prayer, the pilgrim should uncover their head and make the following intention: “O Allah, I intend to perform Hajj; make it easy for me and accept it from me” (Musannaf Abd al-Razzaq, Hadith No. 9703). From the moment the Ihram is worn until the completion of the Hajj, the following supplication, known as Talbiyah, is repeatedly recited while standing, sitting, and performing the rites of Hajj. Men should say the Talbiyah aloud, while women should say it softly: “Labbayka Allahumma Labbayk, Labbayka La Sharika Laka Labbayk, Inna’l-Hamda wa’n-Ni‘mata Laka wa’l-Mulk, La Sharika Laka.” “Here I am, O Allah, here I am. Here I am; You have no partner, Here we are. Truly, all praise, blessings, and sovereignty belong to You. You have no partner.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith No. 1549; Sahih Muslim, Hadith No. 1184). During Hajj, it is obligatory to perform Sa’i once between Safa and Marwah. This Sa’i can be performed
