HALAQ (SHAVING) / QASR (TRIMMING) The Prophet made Dua three times for the one who shaved his head, and only once for those who trimmed We spent so much money, and this is probably one of the only Hajj we might perform Come back with all of the reward inshaAllah FINISHES MOST of IHRAM RULES (Can take off Ihram) Removing Ihram All restrictions are lifted except conjugal relations with spouse Some like to go back to Makkah for Tawaf al-Ziyarah, your group’s option Some like to go for the night, the night after Can shower now, perfume, etc. Can take bath in Mina Tawaf al-Ziyarah Go to Makkah and perform Tawaf al-Ziyara Do Ramal in the first three rounds, because you do sa’e after No Idtiba (No Ihram) Can be delayed till the 12th, but not after Final restriction now lifted Go to hotel for shower and change if needed But return to Mina and spend night there (Sunnah) Women Menstruating Some take pills to prevent menstruation 7-10 days is ok, afterwards might be unhealthy 10th in the morning (From Muzdalifah to Mina), worried it might start Can do all actions, except Tawaf (entering the Masjid Haram) Forget about PSH, go direct to Makkah, do Ziyarah Sa’ee etc. is all ok, only Tawaf is not allowed 11th/12th Dhul DAY 4/5 Hijjah “Three Shaytans” 2nd Pelting
