The Rites of Hajj and Umrah
A sourced reference for the rites of Hajj and Umrah: which acts are Pillars (Rukn), which are Obligatory (Wajib), and which are Sunnah — each with its Qur'an and Hadith citation, so you can check the source text yourself. Pick your pilgrimage to see its rites; Conditions & Rulings and the Glossary are in the menu.
What this reference gives you
Every ruling with its source
Each rite says plainly whether it is a Pillar (Rukn), an Obligatory act (Wajib) or a Sunnah, then shows the Qur'an ayah or the hadith it rests on — with the narration's grade, so you can weigh the evidence rather than take a summary on trust. Where the four madhabs differ, each position is stated instead of being flattened into one answer.
Step by step, in the order you perform them
How to perform Umrah walks from ihram at the miqat through tawaf and sa'i to halq or taqsir. How to perform Hajj runs day by day from the 8th to the 13th of Dhul-Hijjah — Mina, 'Arafah, Muzdalifah, the stoning, the sacrifice and the tawaf — with the differences between Tamattu', Qiran and Ifrad called out where they matter.
The mistakes pilgrims actually make
Every rite carries a common mistakes section: believing the two white garments alone put you in ihram without the intention, cutting tawaf short of seven circuits, leaving Muzdalifah before its time, or assuming a missed obligatory act cannot be repaired with a dam. Gathered in one place for Umrah and for Hajj — knowing them in advance is worth more than reading the ruling twice.
A tracker that holds your place
Mark each act done as you complete it and the count is still there when you come back. Tawaf circuits and sa'i trips get their own counters, because losing the number part-way through is the one thing a printed guide cannot help with. It is kept in your browser on your device, not in an account.
Conditions & rulings, the two stages of tahallul, the ihram prohibitions and the expiations are all here too, alongside a glossary of Hajj and Umrah terms for the words this subject cannot avoid.
