Hajj al-Ifrad
Hajj al-Ifrad (Arabic: حج الإفراد) involves making one niyyah for the sole purpose of performing Hajj without Umrah. This method of performing Hajj is ideally for those living in Makkah and within the Miqat boundaries. A pilgrim who performs Hajj al-Ifrad is called a Mufrid.
Step-by-Step Method
- Enter into the state of Ihram at the Miqat with the intention of performing Hajj.
- Upon reaching Makkah, perform Tawaf al-Qudum.
- Perform two rak’ahs of salah at Maqam Ibrahim (if possible) and partake in the drinking of Zamzam water.
- After Tawaf, Sa’i can be performed immediately, or it can be delayed until after the performance of Tawaf al-Ziyarah. Delaying the Sa’i is recommended.
- You must not perform Halq or Taqsir. You should remain in a state of Ihram and only relinquish it on Yawm al-Nahr.
- You will go to Mina, Arafat and Muzdalifah, where you will perform all the rites and actions of Hajj.
- An animal sacrifice is not obligatory for Hajj al-Ifrad. However, it is mustahabb that an animal is sacrificed.
