THE SPIRITUAL PERFORMANCE OF HAJJ
TAMMATTUU-HAJJ
This means to enter initially into the Ihraam of Umrah only at the Meeqaat and after the traditional two rakaats of Ihraam, to read the dua.
Thereafter the Talbiya should be consistently recited until reaching Makkah, where its recitation will terminate upon the performance at the first Tawaaf. Ramal should be made. After this, the two rakaats of Salaat of Tawaaf should be read and the Sa’e at the Safaa and Marwah as described before. Thereafter, if one had not brought his own Hadi (sacrificial animal) with him from home, he will have his head sheaved or trimmed after which everything once again becomes Halaal for him including relations with one’s wife. He will now emerge from Ihraam and remain out of Ihraam until donning another. If he had brought a Hadi with him (which is uncommon today) he will not be free of his Ihraam until after Hajj.
Once the day of Tarwiyah (8th Zil Hijjah) arrives, the Mutamatti will don his Ihraam for Hajj from within the Haram (i.e. anywhere within Makkah and its Surrounding areas without having to do so, from the areas of “Hill” (i.e. the various Meeqaats). He will then proceed to Mina (as described earlier) and after arriving here for the second time (after Arafaat and Muzdaliafh and pelting the Jmarah-tul-Aqabahupon the day of Nahr), it will be compulsory for him to slaughter a goat or sheep or a seventh potion of a camel, cow or buffalo. If he is unable to do so he will have to observe three fasts before the day of Nahr and Seven after Hajj as a Qaarin would. If he had not fasted before the day of Nahr (10th), then the sacrifice of a goat, etc… become compulsory upon him, (he will have to figure out a way of doing so) and no fasting or charity will substitute this obligation.
