Mistakes
during Tawaf:
1.
While performing an Umrah pilgrim
recites certain supplications from certain guides or books which is wrong for following
reasons:
·
If it is not a sunnah then it
must be avoided
·
Reading or reciting in loud can troubles
and distracts other pilgrims
2.
Kissing the corner of Kaabah
(Yamani) is not recommended rather it should only be touched with hands and it
is the Black Stone that should be kissed..
3.
Some pilgrims push others to be
able to reach the Black Stone to touch and kiss it which is not permissible therefore,
it is enough to point at it without pushing others.
Mistakes
while Trimming & Cutting Hairs:
Some pilgrims just cut a little portion
of their hair which is not enough and which does not fulfill the ritual. Cutting
hairs means to cut hairs of whole head.
Mistakes
While standing in Arafat
·
Pilgrims do not pay attention on
the border line of Arafat. It is important because a pilgrim must stand within
the border line of Arafat otherwise his Hajj / Umrah will be invalid.
·
Pilgrims believe that climbing
the mountain Ar-Rahma is an obligation. Due to which they strive hard to
achieve this aim but it is not required to do this. Rather, standing within the
boundary of Arafat is enough.
·
Some pilgrims leave 'Arafah
before sunset which is not permissible because the time of departure is
determined to be after sunset.
Mistakes
at Muzdalifah:
When a pilgrim arrives at Muzdalifah, he
prays sunset and night prayers together. He stays the night there then
supplicates Allah till sunrise. After that, he leaves to Mina. People who have
excuses especially women, old men, children and their caretakers are permitted
to leave after midnight. However, there are some mistakes committed in this
ritual as some pilgrims do not make sure that they are within the borders of
Muzdalifah; thus, they stay the night outside it. Other pilgrims leaves Muzdalifah
before midnight and do not stay the night there. Whoever does not stay the
night at Muzdalifah without a reasonable excuse should slaughter a sacrifice as
expiation, should repent and ask Allah to forgive him for he abandoned one of
the obligations of Hajj.
Mistakes
While Throwing pebbles At Jamarat
·
Some pilgrims throw pebbles
anytime disregarding the specific time for them. Whoever throw pebbles before
their specified times should repeat it again on the specified time or it will
not be accepted.
·
Some pilgrims do not adhere to
the order of the three Jamraat i.e. starting with the major or the middle
pebbles. This is wrong as pilgrims should start with the minor then the middle
and finally the major one.
·
Some pilgrims throw pebbles at a
place other than the Jamrah basin such as throwing the pebbles from a distance
so they do not fall in the basin. This is not counted and he has to repeat it again
Following mistakes must be prohibited:
Ø
Throwing the pebbles of the
second and third days of Tashreeq with the first one then travel without
fulfilling Hajj rituals.
Ø
Throwing the pebbles of the first
day of Tashreeq only and authorize someone to throw the remaining pebbles on
behalf of them.
