Assalaamu alaykum. I made Hajj in 2010, but I have been wondering if I sufficiently completed the rituals for it to be considered valid. The key point in question is that I only pelted the Jamaraat in Mina on the first day after Muzdalifah. I was very tired from the walk from Muzdalifah to Mina and then to Mecca. There was a person hired by our group.. More
Is it permissible to go for Hajj or ‘Umrah on installments? Some companies offer ‘Umrah on installments.

My father performed Hajj in the early 1980s i.e. nearly twenty-seven years ago.

I am a resident of KSA who works as a physician at Ta’if. I intend to perform Hajj this year. Is it permissible for me to leave the sacred sites for Ta’if to fulfill some needs and then return to resume the rites without neglecting any of them, given that those needs are unnecessary?

While I was standing at ‘Arafah during my Hajj last year, my Ihram (ritual state assumed for consecration) clothing was affected by impurity in the toilet. When I came out, I saw the impurity and was too shy to wash it away before the people – may Allaah forgive us and you too. Now I am regretful for that behavior. I performed the prayers with the..

Last Ramadan, I assumed Ihram (ritual state of consecration) for ‘Umrah from Jeddah, for which a sacrifice has become due on me; and I have still not been able to offer it.
