Types of Hajj

Pearl of Wisdom

'Hasan b. 'Ali (AS) passed by some beggars sitting on the ground, eating pieces of bread placed in front of them. They said to him, ?O son of the Prophet's daughter, come and join us for lunch.' [He narrated], 'So he sat down and said, 'Verily Allah does not like the arrogant.' He ate with them until they had all had enough though the amount of food remained the same by virtue of his blessings. Then he invited them to be his guests, and fed them and clothed them.'

Types of Hajj

There are three kinds of Hajj:
1. Hajj-e-Tamattu (Advantageous Hajj). This is commonly known as Wajib Hajj and will be dealt with in detail. In Hajj-e-Tamattu, Umrah is performed before the Hajj. The pilgrim removes Ihraam after Umrah on the 8^th of Thul-Hijjah and re-enters into the state of Ihraam again for Hajj.
2. Hajj-e-Ifrad/Mufrad (Individual Hajj). All conditions of the Hajj-e-Ifrad/Mufrad are same. One enters into the state of Ihraam for Hajj only and Umrah can be performed after the Hajj.
3. Hajj-e-Qiran (Combined Hajj). This is applicable only to persons who are resident within a radius of 16 Farsakh or 88 km Sharii of Makkah (Each Farsakh is about 5.5 km). In this Hajj, the pilgrim enters into the state of Ihraam for both Hajj and the Umrah at one time.
