Obligatory Acts (Wajibat) of Hajj & Umrah

Required acts (Wajibat) that, if missed, are compensated with a dam (sacrifice) rather than invalidating the pilgrimage — each cited to Qur'an and Hadith.

• Entering Ihram from the Miqatالإحرام من الميقاتCrossing the miqat without ihram (while intending Hajj/Umrah) does not invalidate the Hajj, and ihram entered afterward is still valid.
