SYED KHANDAAN KO ZAKAT DE SAKTE HAIN YA NAHI

 SYED KHANDAAN KO ZAKAT DE SAKTE HAIN YA NAHI

Syed ko zakat de sakte ya nahi...moulana ansar saheb , rampur

یہ مسئلہ صرف صرف سید حضرات سے متعلق نہیں ہے بلکہ ان تمام خاندانوں سے متعلق ہے جن کی کفالت اور سرپرستی آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم فرمایا کرتے تھے اور وہ خاندان پانچ حضرات کی اولاد ہیں

 (1)حضرت عباس بن عبد المطلب، (2)جعفر بن ابی طالب،(3)حضرت علی بن ابی طالب (4) عقیل بن ابی طالب، (5) حارث بن عبد المطلب  رضوان اللہ علیہم اجمعین  



عن أبي هُرَيرَة رَضِيَ اللهُ عنه قال: أخَذَ الحسنُ بن عليٍّ رَضِيَ ےاللهُ عنهما تمرةً مِن تمرِ الصَّدَقة، فجعَلَها في فيه، فقال النبيُّ صلَّى الله عليه وسلَّم: كَخْ كَخْ؛ لِيَطرحَها، ثم قال: أمَا شعرتَ أنَّا لا نأكُل الصَّدقَةَ؟!  وفي روايةٍ لمسلم: أنَّا لا تَحِلُّ لنا الصَّدقةُ؟! وفي رواية البخاري:أمَا عَلِمتَ أنَّ آلَ محمَّدٍ لا يَأكُلون الصَّدَقة؟!  ( ایک مرتبہ حضرت حسن  صدفہ کی کھجور اٹھالی تو نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے انس منع کرتے ہوئے کہا کہ کیا تمہیں معلوم نہیں کہ ہم اہل بیت کے لیے صدفہ حلال نہیں ہے) اور بھی مختلف احادیث میں نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے اہل بیت کے لیے زکوٰۃ کی ممانعت کی ہے 

اسی وجہ سے اکثر علماء نے ان خاندانوں کے لیے زکوٰۃ لینے کو ناجائز لکھا ہے

البتہ بعض علماء کی رائے ہے کہ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم  مالِ غنیمت کے پانچویں حصے کو اپنے اہل و عیال اور مذکورہ خاندان کے اوپر خرچ کرتے تھے ،اسی وجہ سے آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے زکوٰۃ کی مد سے تعاون لینے کو منع کردیا تھا اور اب بیت المال کا نظام ختم ہو چکا ہے اس وجہ سے اہل بیت کے لیے زکوٰۃ لینا جائز ہے

ان دونوں باتوں کے پیشِ نظر پہلے تو  ہماری کوشش یہی ہونی چاہیے کہ اہل بیت کا تعاون امداد کی مد سے کیا جائے البتہ جہاں بہت زیادہ مجبوری ہو وہاں زکوٰۃ بھی دی جاسکتی ہے

This issue is not only related to the Sayyids, but also to all the families that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to provide for and they are the descendants of the five Sayyids.

 (1) Hazrat Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib, (2) Ja'far bin Abi Talib, (3) Hazrat Ali bin Abi Talib (4) Aqeel bin Abi Talib, (5) Harith bin Abdul Muttalib Rizwan Allah Alayhim Ajmeen



On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, he said: َAnd al-Hasan ibn Ali, may God be pleased with him, may God bless him and grant him peace. لِيَطرحَها ، ثم قال: َامَا شعرتَ ّنَّا لا نأكُل الصَّدَقَةَ ؟! And in the narration of the Muslim: Is it not a solution for us to be truthful ?! And in the narration of Al-Bukhari: What do you know that the family of Muhammad does not believe in truth ?! (Once Hazrat Hassan picked up the palm of the oyster, then the Holy Prophet (sws) forbade Anas and said, "Don't you know that oyster is not halal for us Ahlul Bayt?" And also in different hadiths, the Holy Prophet (sws) said: Zakat is forbidden for the Ahl al-Bayt

For this reason, most of the scholars have written that it is not permissible for these families to take Zakat

However, some scholars are of the opinion that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to spend one-fifth of his booty on his family and the above-mentioned family. And now the system of Bait-ul-Mal is over, so it is permissible for the Ahlul-Bayt to take Zakat

In view of these two things, first of all we should try to help the Ahl al-Bayt with the help of aid, but where there is a lot of compulsion, Zakat can also be given.

What kind of things can be done that would benefit the dead muslim muslimah?

TWO GUIDES OF MY LIFE GONE , SAME MONTH & SAME YEAR.

I LOST MY FATHER , MY MENTOR, MY INSPIRATION SYED ISHTIAQUE AHMAD SAHEB ON 13.08.2016. AT GUWAHATI, ASSAM
&
I LOST MY SPIRITUAL GUIDE MOHD NASIM AFSAR SAHEB of Mumbai on  28.08.2016.

Death is inevitable. It is the one thing that we can be certain about in life. We are born to die. Every soul shall have a taste of death no matter who they are. This is confirmed for us many times in the Quran:

"Every soul shall have a taste of death: and only on the Day of Judgement shall you be paid your full recompense." (Quran 3:185)

































MY FATHER S GRAVE

MY BORBOBAA S GRAVE


MY YOUNGEST SISTER GRAVE

  • The scholars agree that the dead person is benefited by the good things that he initiated in his lifetime. The prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) said: "When a son of Adam dies, his deeds cease to benefit him except three: a perpetual charity, a useful contribution to knowledge, and a good child who would pray for him." [Reported by Imam Muslim and the other six Imams]

  • As far as the good acts by the living people that will benefit the dead person, they are as follows:
WHENEVER YOU REMEMBER YOUR DEPARTED PARENTS OR FAMILY MEMBERS...IMMEDIATELY SAY ...O ALLAH PLEASE FORGIVE THEM AND GIVE THEM JANNAH.
      1. Supplicating and asking for Allah's forgiveness for the dead: Allah (S.W.T.) says what can be translated as, " And those who came after them saying: 'O our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in good faith."' [surat Al-Hashr, (verse 10)] Also, this practice of praying for the dead is from the tradition of the prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.).

      1. Charity: the mother of Sa'ad Ibn Obada (R.A.) died while he was away, so he came to the prophet (S.A.W.) and said:" O messenger of Allah, my mother has died while I was away, would it benefit her if I gave charity on her behalf? He (S.A.W.) said: "Yes." Sa'ad said: "I would like you to witness that my orchard - Al-Mikhraf - is a charity on her behalf." [Reported by Imam Al-Bukhari]

      1. Fasting: A man came to the prophet (S.A.W.) and said:" O messenger of Allah, my mother died before she made up a month's time of fasting, can I make it up for her?" he (PBUH) said:" If your mother were in debt, would you have paid the debt for her?" he said: "Yes", he (S.A.W.) said: " A debt to Allah is more worthy of being paid." [Reported by Imams Bukhari and Muslim]

      1. Hajj: A woman from Juhaynah (a tribe) came to the prophet (S.A.W.) and said: "My mother has made (Nathr) - (a promise to Allah) - to go to Hajj, but she died before she fulfilled her "Nathr". Can I perform Hajj on her behalf? He (S.A.W.) said: "Perform Hajj on her behalf. If your mother were in debt, would you not have paid it for her? Do it (all of you) because Allah is more worthy of being paid pack." [Reported by Imam Al-Bukhari]

      1. Paying off the Deceased's Debts: The money to pay off the debt can come from the deceased's wealth, or any donations from family or friends. "Abu Qatada (R.A.) donated money to pay the debt of a deceased person, which was two Dinars, with the approval of the prophet (S.A.W.)." [Reported by Imam Al-Hakm and Al-Baihaqui]

      1. Reciting Qur'an: There is a difference of opinion among the scholars regarding this practice since no explicit text has been gathered that says reading the Qur'an would benefit the dead with a reward. Hanafi and Hanbali schools of Fiqh say that the reward of reading Qur'an will reach the dead, because these scholars made an analogy about the other righteous deeds that have been mentioned by the prophet (S.A.W) like fasting or hajj on behalf of the dead. On the other hand, Maliki and Shaf'i schools of Fiqh say that the reward will not reach the dead, because Allah (S.W.T) says, what can be translated as, "And that man can have nothing but what he does (good or bad)." [surat Al-Najm,(verse 39)] And also the prophet (S.A.W) said: "When a person is dead, his deeds cease (are stopped) except from three: a continuous charity, a knowledge which mankind gets benefit and a righteous child who makes supplication for him." [Reported by Imam Muslim] Also, there is no text from the prophet that proves that reciting Qura'n will transfer into a reward for the dead.




"Every soul shall have a taste of death: and We test you by evil and by good, by way of trial. To Us must you return." (21:35)

"Every soul shall have a taste of death: In the end to Us shall you be brought back." (29:57)


and the Almighty says, “No self knows what it will earn tomorrow and no self knows in what land it will die.” (W31:33; H31:34)
The Almighty says, “When their specified time arrives, they cannot delay it for a single hour nor can they bring it forward,” (16:61)

and the Almighty says, “O you who believe! Do not let your wealth or children divert you from the remembrance of Allah. Whoever does that is lost. Give from what We have provided for you before death comes to one of you and he says, ‘O Lord, if only you would give me a little more time so that I can give sadaqa and be one of the righteous.’ Allah will not give anyone more time, once their time has come. Allah is aware of everything you do.” (63:9-11)
Ibn ‘Umar used to say, “In the evening, do not anticipate the morning, and in the morning do not anticipate the evening. Take from your health for your illness and from your life for your death.” [al-Bukhari]

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Remember often the destroyer of pleasures,” by which he meant death.

Source: Sunan ibn Majah 4258, Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Albani
http://dailyhadith.abuaminaelias.com/2012/09/13/hadith-on-death-recommendation-to-frequently-remember-death-the-destroyer-of-pleasures/

Abu Hurayra reported the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “Race to good actions as fast as you can. What are you waiting for except delayed poverty, oppressive wealth, debilitating illness, dottering senility, a swift death or the Dajjal? Or are you waiting for an unseen evil, or the Last Hour? The Last Hour will be most bitter and terrible.” [at-Tirmidhi]
https://muslimvillage.com/2016/07/26/52109/verses-and-hadiths-on-remembering-death/

Death is not total annihilation, but a different state of being.

When people sleep (and sleep is the “lesser death”), the soul is taken, but not completely, so the sleeper is still alive. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “It is Allaah Who takes away the souls at the time of their death, and those that die not during their sleep, He keeps those (souls) for which He has ordained death and sends the rest for a term appointed. Verily, in this are signs for a people who think deeply.” [al-Zumar 39:42]


The Messenger of Allaah  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) advised the Muslim, when he lies down to sleep, to say: “Bismika Rabbee wada’tu janbi wa bika arfa’uhu wa in amsakta nafsi farhamhaa wa in arsaltahaa fahfazhaa bimaa tuhfaz bihi ‘ibaadika al-saaliheen ( In Your name, my Lord, I lie down, and in Your name I rise. If You should take my soul then have mercy on it, and if You should return my soul then protect it as You protect Your righteous slaves).” When the Muslim wakes up, he should say, “Al-hamdu Lillaah alladhi ‘aafaani fi jasadi wa radda ‘alayya roohi wa adhina li bi dhikrihi (Praise be to Allaah Who has restored to me my health and returned my soul and has allowed me to remember Him ).” (Reported by al-Tirmidhi, 3323’ He said, a hasan hadeeth).


It is in Hadith - Narrated Anas bin Malik : Allah's Apostle ( صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم  said, "When (Allah's - سبحانہ و تعا لی) slave is put in his grave and his companions return and he even hears their footsteps, two angels come to him and make him sit and ask questions. (Bukhari - Volume 2, Book 23, number 456).
Then he said to us: "Ask Allah (سبحانہ و تعا لی) for refuge from the torment of the grave", he repeated this command two or three times. Then he said O Allah (سبحانہ و تعا لی) I seek refuge in you from the torment of the grave (three times).
It is in Hadith, Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم ) said ‘when you go to the graves of the dead, say ‘Assalamu alaikum ya ahlal quboor’ – meaning ‘peace be upon you O’ people of graves’. 
It is in Hadith narrated by Hazrat Abdullah Bin Abbas (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ) that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم ) said, ‘whoever goes by the grave of a believer and offers salutation (says Assalamu alaikum) to him, the believer recognizes him and answers back the salutation’. 
(Gazali, Ihyau Ulumi’d-din, IV, Ziyaratu’l Qubur)
It is in Quran – ‘Those who die in the way of Allah ( سبحانہ و تعا لی) do not call them as dead. They are alive, but you do not understand it’. (Al-Baqara – 154). They live in the ‘life of comforts’ after death until resurrection.
It is in Hadith - Once  Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم ) was returning from a conflict (war) and he said, we are moving from the smaller Jihad to the bigger Jihad (Tazkia Nafs). (al-Radd al-Mukhtar - Kitab al-Jihad - Vol. 3 - P-237). 
All Awliya Allah and good Muslims who have fought with their Nufoos throughout their lives and died, insha-Allah will be covered under the above Quranic verse (as per above Prophet's -صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم   Hadith). 
It is in Hadith -   narrated by Buraidah (radiyallahu ta'ala anhu) that the dear Prophet (sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam) said: "I used to forbid you from visiting the graves (but now I give you permission), you should visit them" (Muslim, Mishkat p.154) 
It is in Hadith - Muhammad bin Nu'man (radiyallahu ta'ala anhu) narrates that Rasoolallah (sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam) said: "Whoever visits his parents' graves or visits one of their graves every Friday, then he will be forgiven and will be written as being one of the pious" (Mishkat p.154) 




What kind of things can be done that would benefit the dead muslim muslimah?

After burial, the soul comes back to the dead person, and he can hear his companions' footsteps as they leave. (Bukhaariy) Umar once asked, "Are our minds returned to us, O Messenger of Allah?" The Prophet (may Allah raise his rank) confirmed that this will be so. (Ahmad)

Two blueish black angels Munkar and Nakiir come to the newly buried, sit him up, and ask him some questions. Note, however, that martyrs of the battlefield, prophets and children are spared the questioning of the angels.

The martyrs, the prophets, and some of the Muslim saints do not decompose at all. It was related that "the prophets are alive in their graves, praying," (Ibn Hajar) and the Quran states that the Martyrs are alive.

In addition to the above Ibn ^abbaas related that if a Muslim greets a buried muslim who used to know him in this life, then he will know who it is and return his greeting from the grave. (Ibn ^abdu-l-Barr)

All of the above hadits and many more show that death is not total annihilation, but a different state of being.

[Reported by Imam Muslim] Also, there is no text from the prophet that proves that reciting Qura'n will transfer into a reward for the dead.

What are the rules concerning the visitation of graves?
  • Visiting the graves is desirable for both men and women. This will remind us of the reality of death. The prophet (S.A.W) said to the companions, "I had (previously) forbidden you to visit the graves, now (it is permissible for you, so) go and visit them, there is a lesson to learn from them, and do not say anything that will upset Allah." [Reported by Imams Al-Hakm, Al-Baihaqui, and Al-Bazzar] Women just like men may visit the graves, because of the orders of the prophet (S.A.W), which included them too. Also women will share with men the same wisdom that can be learned from visiting the graves. And also when Aishah (R.A.) asked the prophet (S.A.W) what she could say when she visits the graves, the prophet taught her what she should say, and did not prevent her from visiting the graves. He said to her, "Say, Aishah, “Peace be upon the believing men and women dwelling here. May Allah grant mercy to those who have preceded us and those who are to follow them certainly, Allah willing, we will join you”. [Reported by Imams Muslim and An-Nasa'i] The opinion for men as well as women to visit graves has been adopted by Imam Malik, some Hanafi scholars and even one report from Imam Ahmad. It is, however, important that the women must be dressed according to the Sharia’h rules and be accompanied by her Mahram.

  • Whoever pays a visit to a grave; you should face the deceased, greet and supplicate for him/her as the prophet used to do while he visited graves.
Prohibited Acts While Visiting Graves
  • No wiping hands over the graves

  • No kissing or circumambulating around them

  • No sacrificing animals for the dead

  • No sitting on the grave or walking on top of them

  • No praying toward the graves

  • No breaking the bones of the dead

  • No placing pictures or flowers on top of the grave



SHARE THIS AS IT IS SADAQA JAARIYAH
What is sadaqa jaariyah ?
Abu Hurairah reported, "The Prophet (saws) said, 'The righteous works that continue to benefit a believer after his death (or sadaqa jaariyah) include the knowledge that he taught and spread among others, a righteous son whom he leaves behind, or a copy of the Qur'an that he bequeaths to his inheritors, or a mosque that he builds, or a rest house that he builds for the wayfarers, or a well/pond of water that he digs for the benefit of others, helping a child for his/her education, helping orphan, donating to school/dispensary/hospital, or planting trees. He will continue to receive reward for all these even after his death.'

MY HAJ EXPERIENCE NOVEMBER 2008

NOTE FROM COMPILER:

      THE INTENTION OF THIS POST IS TO SHARE INFORMATION FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL PEOPLE.PLEASE SHARE IT WITH YOUR RELATIVES AND FRIENDS.MAYBE IT WILL HELP SOMEBODY.ITS "SADAQA JAARIYAH" TO SPREAD KNOWLEDGE THAT HELPS OTHERS.IT IS NEVER MEANT FOR SHOW OFF WHICH IS A BIG SIN..

How to do tamattu  haj

PRIMARY AIM OF HAJJ :

To remain at all times focused on the primary aim of his Hajj: to plead to
The Almighty to forgive his sins and to bless him with The Straight Path for
the remainder of his life. it is the starting point of one's commitment to
cast away one's bad ways and to begin afresh a new Allah-centred life.

A. Some useful information (Advisory) for hajj:

1. Medicines: Take medical prescription alongwith you. Most pilgrims will
suffer from one or more of the following: sore throat, coughing, frequent
sneezing, runny nose , fever, leg cramp , foot sore. Bring enough supplies of over the counter medicine on advice of your personal doctor with his rubber stamped prescription containing his registration number
. This will reduce the need to make frequent trips to the makkah medina indian
pharmacy and also lower your out of pocket expenses.
2. Take multivitamins daily as you may not be eating a balanced diet
there. You may want to consider a diet of bottled water, jamjam water, dates and fruits as this will reduce the need to go to the toilet frequently. This diet may also help to keep you more alert and not make you feel 'sleepy'. You will thus
have more time to worship.
3. The Hajj pilgrimage involves a lot of walking. If you don't go for daily
walks at home, begin it well before your journey to The Holy Land. This will
reduce the likelihood of getting muscle pulls and cramps. The tawaf, sa'ee,
and the frequent daily walks to The Mosque will help to improve your health.
Do not stop this habit of walking when you return home. You must to be in
the best of health to concentrate fully on your worship wherever you are.
4. You are never more than a foot from another pilgrim when you are in
Mecca during the peak period of the pilgrimage. Cover your nose and mouth
with a mask when you leave your hotel/apartment to reduce the likelihood of
infection. You can get a good quality washable mask at the pharmacies
there.
5. If you wear glasses, bring along an extra pair, preferably one with a
plastic frame. The likelihood of your glasses falling down and being stepped
on by sudden movements of the crowd are high. As an additional cover, bring
along your glass prescriptions as well. There are optical shops near The
Mosque. It is common for those wearing glasses to remove it and place it in 
front before starting their prayer. Never do this in both mosques. The
likelihood of your glasses being stepped on by others is 99%.
6. Flatulence (passing of wind) is an important cause of the loss of wudu. In
the crowd packed Holy Mosques, this can be a big problem. Avoid or reduce
the intake of food that contribute to this problem. If this is a serious
problem for you, consult your doctor. Both herbal and other medications
[antacid antiflatulent] are now available to reduce the occurrence of
flatulence.
7. It is very important that the pilgrim wears his identification tag at all
times he/she is out of his place of accommodation
B. Location map of Kaba and medina in the brain
If I am standing facing the door of the Kaba, On my left its Hazre Aswad ,
than on my right its Hateem and on my back its makame ibraheem and
further behind its zam zam.
Tawaf starts from the black stone hazre aswad. During the peak Haj period, DO NOT attempt to kiss The Black Stone hazre aswad.
We used to sit in mataaf facing the kaaba door till all our companions gather at the same place. Similarly we used to gather near the iron gate near jannatul baqi in medina till all our companions gather. Only after that we used to go to our home together. 

Other Items You should Take Along:
1. A 20 Inch suitcase with name, address, passport no, cover no written outside.
2. A small carry bag
3. A warm bed sheet
4. A small bag for Stones to be collected at muzdalifa to throw stone at satan at mina

Gastrointestinal and respiratory infections are very common during Hajj . Carry certain medicines with you for use later.

PREVENTIVE ANTIBIOTICS: Ask your doctor to prescribe a broad-spectrum antibiotic to be taken prophylactically (i.e., as a preventive measure) throughout your stay in Saudi Arabia. This writer's (saleem) doctor prescribed 250 mg of the antibiotic CIPLOX250 to be taken daily once. I never contracted any disease during my stay there but all my team members suffered this and that.
Some people were prescribed AMOXICILLIN in place of CIPLOX250 by doctors and pharmacists with good results.

b. Take multivitamins daily as you may not be eating a balanced diet

c. You may want to consider a diet of  jum jum water, dates and fruits as this
will reduce the need to go to the toilet frequently. This diet may also
help to keep you more alert and not make you feel 'sleepy'. You will thus
have more time to worship.

Tawaf (Arabic: طواف) is one of the principal rites of the pilgrimage and refers to circumambulating or walking in circles around the Kaaba in an anti-clockwise motion. Seven complete circuits, with each one starting and ending at the hazre aswad the black stone, constitute one Tawaf.
Sa'ee is an Arabic word which means ritual walking or formal procedure defined in Pilgrimage. It is the back and forth movement between the hills of Safa and Marwah in Makkah. It is an integral part of the Hajj and Umrah in Islam.Thus the walk begins at Safa and ends at MarwahStarting from Safa one should walk to Marwah and this constitutes one walk, from Marwah back to Safa the second and so on up to seven walks finally ending at Marwah.
YOU WILL BE IN IHRAM DURING STAY AT MINA, ARAFAT, MUDALIFAH. Learn dos and donts when in Ihraam.There is no problem in taking insulin injection during ihram by diabetic patients as it is not among the forbidden things in ihram.

7th zil hajj ;
Take a bath(ghusl) , WEAR IHRAM, pray two rakats sunnat and make niyyat for hajj tamattu. Say Talbiyah (" labbaik....)
Go to kaaba , do TAWAF & SAYEE. If you do sayee now,no need to do sayee in tawaf e ziyarat ( FARZ TAWAAF on 10th zul hajj ) .

8 th zul hajj : Spend the day & night at Mina. Pray five salaats.
we were sent to arafah from mina on the nite itself .

9 th zul hajj: Day of Arafah : From dhuhr to asr, "STAND UP" for prayers & pleadings at Arafah maidan ( inside tent ). "Arafah is Hajj". Keep this in mind.

After sun set at arafat ,we went to mujdalifah and stayed the night there under open sky ( no tent ) . its too cold at night but we cant wear anything as we are in ihraam  , we collected 70 pebbles at mujdalifah. 

10th zul hajj: day of Qurbaani :

on the morning of 10 th zilhaj , we offer fazr prayer at mujdalifah and immidiately move to mina with the stones in hand to stone the big satan.

Five things are to be done serially one after another on the 10th day. You cant break the series atall. or you will have to offer a dum ( a sheep ).

the series is as follows :

1. Stone the big satan ( only the big satan, not the other two) with seven pebbles . you can throw pebbles on behalf of other persons also who cant throw themselves.
2. Do the qurbani ( if you personally want to do the jawah of the sheep than u will have to go to makkah to do so, since we gave the duty of doing the qurbani to a saudi govt. bank , we did not went to makkah, instead we rested at our tent in mina and waited for the qurbaani time to be over )
3.  Shave off hair ( After the qurbaani time is over )
4. Took off Ihraam ( After shaving )
5. immidietly went to makkah to do tawaf e ziyarat ( FARZ TAWAAF ) . In tawaf e ziyarat , we have not done Ramal, Izteba, and sayee.
6. After farz tawaf ,we came back to mina to stay the night at mina tents.

 11 th zul hajj . you stone the three satans , each of them with seven stones after dhuhr prayer ( not before noon ). stay at mina.

 12 th zul hajj . you stone the three satans , each of them with seven stones after dhuhr prayer ( not before noon ). And now, you must leave mina boundary line before maghrib to makkah. if you are in Mina after sunset  , you will have to stay one another day at mina (13 th zul hajj also) and stone the three satans...he he he....and nobody wants to live in mina for another night.

You have now completed Hajj Tamattu Minus Tawaf Al Wada  ( Farewell Tawaf )

BEFORE U LEAVE FOR INDIA :

Before coming back to Home (India) , you do Tawaf al wada, no sayee .

With this last act, by the grace of almighty Allah your tamattu haj is complete.

MY OWN HAJ EXPERIENCE IN 2008

( 03.11.2008) we boarded a  plane at Guwahati Airport (The first direct flight from Guwahati to Jeddah Non Stop) noon time and reached jeddah at maghrib. And travelled by bus to makkah and at isha time we offered our FIRST prayer in life DIRECTLY infront of Kaaba. 
I just cant describe the feeling here. Seeing is only believing. Go for it man when you are young and energetic.




Here is one of my haj experience that you may find interesting and informative 

...
at makkah u find barbers to shave off your hairs easily. so many of them are there....shouting at you...kom here kom here...

But on the 10th zulhijjah, at mina, you will not find barbers easily. and you cant shave yourself or your male relative cant shave you if he has not shaved his hair .We want to take off Ihraam fast , so, i searched and searched frantically but could not find any.

nobody there take chances with unknown people . But I asked one boy whether he will shave me, he said yah yah, why not. and now listen how he shaved me. i gave him my razor. he opened the razor set and took out the blade. holding the blade by hand he shaved me in 10 minutes flat. and my head was red here and there with cuts.

my mom was not worried about the cuts , she was worried about the unknown boy and probable infection. i Told mom that I carried the blade from Delhi. (MY OWN BLADE)

After that , i shaved my father and took almost one hour to shave him, isko dekh kar shamim bhai dar gaye and he took a round of the tents at mina aur shamim bhai ko kisi ne kar diyaa ganja,

Summery of the story : Take your own blade with u when u go there. and dont take unnecessary risks.












I think the book "HOJOLOI OLAOK " in assamese compiled by syed sayeedur rahman is the most easy to follow and step by step haj guide book I have ever found. email: sayeedbinjamal@gmail.com
