Rites and rulings can differ by pilgrimage type, school of thought and circumstance. Confirm your itinerary with your licensed operator and religious guidance with a qualified scholar. Follow Saudi authorities and on-site staff.

1Ihram and intention

Prepare before miqat: bathe if convenient, wear suitable ihram clothing, and make your intention as guided by your group. Recite Talbiyah and observe ihram restrictions; ask a qualified scholar about specific situations.

لَبَّيْكَ اللَّهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ، لَبَّيْكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ لَبَّيْكَ

2Tawaf

With your group’s guidance, make seven circuits around the Kaaba in the prescribed direction. Stay calm and avoid pushing. Make sincere dua; no single supplication is required for every circuit.

رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ

3Sa’i

Perform seven lengths between Safa and Marwah, beginning at Safa and ending at Marwah. Follow marked lanes and group instructions. Make dua and remembrance; no fixed wording is required for each length.

4Mina

Camp, prayer and overnight arrangements vary. Stay in your assigned camp and follow your group leader’s schedule. Keep your location card, phone, water and medicines accessible.

5Arafat

Be present at Arafat during the prescribed time. Spend time in prayer, reflection and dua according to your group schedule. Keep water and sun protection close and stay in your assigned area.

6Muzdalifah

Proceed from Arafat according to your official group plan. Pray and rest; collect pebbles only where and when permitted. Stay with your group in crowds.

7Jamarat

Perform the stoning rites at designated times and in the official sequence for your circumstances. Follow your scholar, permit schedule and crowd-control directions. Do not rush or obstruct others.

8Qurbani and completion

Where sacrifice is required for your Hajj type, use authorized channels and confirm timing with your scholar or licensed operator. Confirm the sequence for shaving or trimming and leaving ihram with a qualified scholar.
