Do not take off your Ihram until you have shaved or trimmed. You are still in Ihram until you do so.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif Do not shave your beard.
In Mina, Arafah, and Muzdalifah:
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif Many people do not confirm if where they are located is inside or outside the borders of the holy sites. Confirm.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif Do not reserve a place that is more than your need. Many people are looking for places to sit down and sleep.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif Only in Arafah and Muzdalifah do you shorten and combine prayers. In Mina only shorten your prayers, but pray them at the correct time.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif Do not waste your Hajj time in vain chatting.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif Spending the 8th day in Mina is the Sunnah of the prophet of Allah. Many people skip this and go to Arafah.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif Do not push anyone when you are in a crowd.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif You do not have to go to the Mt. of Mercy in Arafah. Many people hurt themselves and others to be there even though it is not a Wajib thing to do.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif Mt. Rahmah is not a holy mountain. Do not wipe its sand and rocks for Barakah (blessings).
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif You do not have to pray Dhuhr and Asr on Arafah day in the Masjid of Arafah (Masjid Namira). You may pray in your tent with your group.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif Do not leave Arafah before Maghrib time.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif Women should avoid getting into a crushing crowd, like in Masjid Namira.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif Do not face Mt. Rahmah on Arafah day when you make Du'a. You should face theQiblah.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif You should not treat your time in Arafah like any other day. You should realize the significance and pray to Allah in humility.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif At Maghrib time in Arafah, do not pray Maghrib and Isha until you reach Muzdalifah, even if you reach there at 11:00 at night. However, if you see half the night approaching, pray where you are on the road.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif Make sure you are in Muzdalifah before you stop and rest. Many people think they are in Muzdalifah but they are not. Look for the border signs. If you have not seen one, chances are you are still not in Muzdalifah even if you see others sleeping on the road.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif After praying Maghrib and Isha in Muzdalifah, go to sleep immediately, this is what the prophet of Allah did.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif Through all of this, continue doing your Talbiyah.
In stoning the Jamarat:
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif The Jamarat are not Devils, and Shaytan is not tied up for the stoning of himself. Hajjis that hold this misconception end up cursing, swearing, throwing sandals, etc. It is a commandment from Allah to glorify Allah by saying (Allahu Akbar) with each pebble.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif You do not have to wash your stones.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif Do not throw sandals or wood or big rocks. This is all against the Sunnah.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif Do not hurt/shove when at the Jamarat.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif Say Allahu Akbar with each pebble. Do not say Bismillah.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif Throw the pebbles separately.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif Make Du'a after the first and second Jamarat.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif Do not throw the Jamarat before it is time.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif Throw the Jamarat from small to medium to large. Not the other way.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif If someone is throwing on your behalf, you must be unable to throw yourself.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif If someone is throwing on your behalf, you do not have to collect the stones yourself and hand the stones to that thrower.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif Throw seven pebbles, not more or less.
In Tawaf Al-Wada' (Farewell Tawaf):
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif You cannot do your final Jamarat after Tawaf Al-Wada, as some people attempt.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif Do not walk in massive groups during Tawaf. This hurts many people.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif You MUST spend the night in Mina on the 10th night and 11th night. The two days of Hajj, the days of Mina, are the 11th and 12th, not the 10th and 11th.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif After Tawaf Al-Wada' you must leave Mecca, or else another Tawaf should be made.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif After Tawaf Al-Wada' you may have lunch or wait at a bus, etc., as long as you are on your way out of Mecca.
In Medina:
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif Visiting Medina has nothing to do with your Hajj. It is something different and separate.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif Do not wipe or kiss any walls for Barakah (blessings). It is only rock and marble.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif Do not raise your voice near the Prophet's grave.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif Do not do Tawaf around the Prophet's grave.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif You do not need Ihram to enter Medina.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif Do not make Du'a to the Prophet. Du'a is to be made to Allah and Allah alone.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif If you want to pray for the Prophet to intercede for you on the day of Judgment (Shifa'ah), pray to Allah for that. "O Allah, allow Your Prophet to intercede for me.."
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif Do not raise your voice in Du'a near the grave. Face Qiblah and leave the grave area when you want to make Du'a.
Miscellaneous:
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif Do not add the term Hajji to your name after returning home.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif Hadith such as: "whoever visits my grave, I shall intercede for them." Hadith to this effect are lies against the prophet of Allah (peace be upon him).
A final note:
The Muslims in these mistakes are three:
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif One group is sincerely ignorant of these things and they have little clue that what they are doing is Haram or incorrect. For these people - insha'Allah - there is nothing upon them.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif A second group is ignorant, but they have the ability to learn and find out. All that stops them from doing so is their laxness in studying and asking. For these people, it is feared that they may be sinful for their laziness in learning.
http://www.performhajj.com/images/bullet.gif A third group is aware of these mistakes. They perform it however to either follow their culture or to misguide people. This person is sinful and they shall assume the sin of those that they misguide.
Our Lord, do not take us to account if we forget or make a mistake.
