Chapter: Regarding the rulings and etiquettes of visitation
He, may Allah have mercy on him, said: It is recommended to visit the Masjid of the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) before Hajj or after it, due to what is established in the Sahihayn from Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) said:
«صَلَاةٌ في مَسْجِدِي هذا خَيْرٌ مِن أَلْفِ صَلَاةٍ فِيما سِوَاهُ، إِلَّا المَسْجِدَ الحَرَامَ»
“A prayer in this masjid of mine is better than a thousand prayers in any other masjid except al-Masjid al-Harām.”
To Those Who Perform Multiple Umrahs in One Journey Shaykh Abdurrazzaq al-Badr [Video|Ar-En Subtitles] https://youtu.be/40fnJJgrRBg
Aishah, رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا , as mentioned earlier, initially entered ihram for ‘Umrah like the other wives of the Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ intending tamattu’. However, during the journey she began menstruating, so the Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ instructed her to perform ghusl and enter ihram for Hajj. Thus, she became a qarin, because the ‘Umrah she had intended from Dhu al-Hulayfah was incorporated into her Hajj. After completing Hajj, she asked the Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ to perform a separate, independent ‘Umrah like the other wives, because her ‘Umrah had been included within her Hajj. So the Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ instructed her to go with her brother to al-Tan’im—the nearest point outside the Haram—to enter ihram for ‘Umrah from there.

Explanation of The book “Clarification and explanation of many issues related to Hajj, Umrah, and visitation in light of the Qur’an and the Sunnah“ by Shaykh Abdul-Aziz bin Abdullah bin Baz rahimahullah
All praise is due to Allah, Lord of all that exists. May Allah send blessings and peace upon our prophet Muhammad and upon his family and all his companions. (اللهم اغفر لنا ولشيخنا ولجميع المسلمين) O Allah, forgive us, our Shaykh, and all of the Muslims. His Eminence the scholar Imam ‘Abd al-‘Aziz ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn Baz, may Allah have mercy on him, says in his book: Clarification and explanation of many issues related to Hajj, Umrah, and visitation in light of the Qur’an and the Sunnah. He, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:
Text from Ibn Baz (rahimahullah) Book:
Important notices for the visitor of the grave of the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam). It is not permissible for anyone to wipe the chamber, kiss it, or perform tawaf around it, because this was not transmitted from the righteous Salaf. Rather, it is a condemned innovation.
The Takbir of the Tongue & Heart During the Ten Days of Dhil Hijjah Shaykh Saleh Sindi حفظه الله https://youtu.be/u1LD6Yvgab0 [17 min] – Arabic | English Subtitles
All the praises and thanks be to Allah, Who has not begotten a son, and Who has no partner in His Dominion, nor He is low to have a helper, protector or supporter. And magnify Him with all magnificence. May Allah send His peace and blessings upon the one whom His Lord sent as a guider, a bearer of glad tidings and a warner. And as one who invites to Allah by His Leave, and as a lamp spreading light. May His complete and abundant peace and blessings upon him, his family and his companions. Congratulations O noble brothers for the favor of Allah upon you, that He has extended your lifespan and your appointed term so that you could reach these blessed ten days. The first ten days of Dhil-Hijjah is a season of profit, a market of commerce and a field of competing towards goodness. So whomever Allah blesses to reach these ten days, then let him praise Allah abundantly and to ask Him to grant him success in these days by doing that which He loves. And that He favors him by accepting it.
Moments of Humbleness in the Masjid of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ – Shaykh Sulayman al Ruhayli https://youtu.be/PvZzycATAd0 [2:36 min] [Arabic|English subtitles]
The First Ten Days of Dhil Hijjah by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Sāleh al Uthaymīn [Video|Ar-En Subtitles] https://youtu.be/hnTr-xr7yGA [3 min]
The Ten days of Dhil-Hijjah begins when the month of Dhil-Hijjah enters. And itfinishes on the Day of ‘Eid, the ‘Eid of sacrifice. In regards to the deedsperformed in it, The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said in regards to it, “There are nodays in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allāh than these ten days.”The people asked, “Not even Jihād for the sake of Allāh?” He said, “Not evenJihād for the sake of Allāh. Except in the case of a man who went out to fightgiving himself and his wealth up for the cause, and came back with nothing.”
And so with this I encourage my Muslim brothers to take advantage of thistremendous opportunity, and to increase in righteous deeds during these ten daysof Dhil-Hijjah, like reciting the Qur’ān and the remembrance of Allāh, with itsdifferent types, saying Allāhu-akbar, Lā ilāha illa Allāh, Alḥamdulillāh, andSubḥānallāh, charity, fasting, strive to perform every righteous deed.
What’s astonishing is that the people are heedless regarding these ten (days).You find during the (last) ten (nights) of Ramadhān, do they strive or not? Theystrive! However in the ten (days) of Dhil-Hijjah, you barely see anyonedistinguishing between it and the other days! However if a person performsrighteous deeds during these ten (days), he is reviving what the Messenger ofAllāh ﷺ directed to from righteous deeds.
If a person wants to sacrifice when these ten (days) enter, then he doesn’t cutanything from his hair, his nails, nor his skin. He doesn’t cut from any ofthese. This is if he wants to sacrifice. As for if someone sacrifices on hisbehalf, then there is no problem. So if a person wants to sacrifice on behalf ofthe people in his household, then he makes one sacrifice, as it is the Sunnah.It is not binding upon the people of the household to withhold cutting fromtheir hair, their nails or their skin. It is only binding upon who? The one whois sacrificing, the father.
And what you hear from this saying, ‘It is prohibited (to cut from their hair,nail, and skin) for the one sacrificing and the one who the sacrifice is done onbehalf of.” Then this is the saying of some of the scholars. As for the ḥadīth,the Prophet ﷺ said, “If one of you wants to sacrifice, let him not cut anythingfrom his hair or nails.” He directed his speech to the one who wants tosacrifice.
The Day of ‘Arafah – by Shaykh ‘Abdurrazzāq al Badr [Video|Ar-En Subtitles] https://youtu.be/b_laOsp-N6Y [56 min]
Noble brothers, The day of ‘Arafah is a tremendous day. It is a must upon usthat we give it its just estimate, that we know its status, that we areconscious of its position and virtue so that we can enter it upon clarityunderstanding its tremendous importance and lofty status as well as its elevatedrank, and that it is a day that is unlike any other day, specifically for thosewhom Allāh has honored to be standing in ‘Arafat, although this virtue is notexclusively for them.
For indeed, the Prophet, as you all know, said in regards to fasting on the Dayof ‘Arafah: “I anticipate the reward from Allāh that it expiates the sins of theyear before and the year after.” And this is in regards to the general Muslims.As for the pilgrims, it is better for them that they don’t fast on the Day of’Arafat. Taking the Prophet as an example and strengthening themselves and theirbodies to be in the remembrance of Allāh, making supplications and devoted inthe remembrance of Allāh on that tremendous and blessed day. It comes in theSahihayn from Umm al-Fadhl bint al-Hãrith that a group were disputing next toher in regards to whether the Prophet was fasting or not, and this was on theDay of ‘Arafat. So, she took a cup of milk and presented it to the Prophet andhe drank from it. It was as if she had said the answer is as you see. So theProphet drank from it and it was known that he wasn’t fasting. So, the Sunnah isthat the pilgrim doesn’t fast on the Day of ‘Arafat. As for other than thepilgrim, then fasting on the Day of ‘Arafat is the best of the voluntary days tofast. Indeed, the Prophet said, “I anticipate the reward from Allāh that itexpiates the sins of the year before and the year after.”
And (remember) when We made the House (the Ka’bah at Makkah) a place of resort for mankind and a place of safety. And take you (people) the Maqam (place) of Ibrahim (Abraham) [or the stone on which Ibrahim (Abraham) stood while he was building the Ka’bah] as a place of prayer (for some of your prayers, e.g. two Rak’at after the Tawaf of the Ka’bah at Makkah), and We commanded Ibrahim (Abraham) and Isma’il (Ishmael) that they should purify My House (the Ka’bah at Makkah) for those who are circumambulating it, or staying (I’tikaf), or bowing or prostrating themselves (there, in prayer).
125. And (remember) when We made the House (the Kabah at Makkah) a place of resort for mankind and a place of safety. And take you (people) the Maqam (place) of Ibrahim (or the stone on which Ibrahim as a place)
The Third Condition: The animal must be free of any defect that would prevent its slaughter from being valid and acceptable. These defects are of four types:
1. Clear defectiveness of the eye: This is when the animal’s eye becomes sunken or it sticks out to the point that it looks like a knob or it becomes a pale white indicating clearly that it is one-eyed.
2. Clear illness: This is when the animal exhibits signs of sickness, such as a fever that keeps it from grazing and causes a loss of appetite, or an obvious scabies infection that will spoil its meat and harm a person’s health (if he eats it), or a deep wound that threatens to affect its health and so on.
3. Clear limping: This is when the animal is unable to step safely (without hurting itself) when walking.
4. Emaciation that causes brain loss: This is based on what the Prophet said when he was asked about what types of animals one should avoid when sacrificing.
He gestured with his hand and said: “They are four: The lame animal that clearly walks crookedly; the one-eyed animal that clearly has a defect in the eye; the sick animal that clearly has signs of illness; and the emaciated animal that is (usually) not picked.” [2]
This hadeeth was reported by Maalik in al-Muwatta from Al-Baraa’ bin ‘Aazib. In another version of this report narrated by Al-Baraa’ found in the Sunan collections, he said: “The Messenger of Allaah stood up amongst us and said: ‘Four types (of animals) are not permissible to use as sacrificial offerings…’ and he went on to mention them.” [3]
So therefore if these four defects are found in an animal, they prevent its slaughter and sacrifice from being valid. This goes as well for any other defect that is similar to or worse than these, which means that it is also not valid to sacrifice the following types of animals:
1. A blind animal that cannot see with both its eyes.
2. An animal suffering from nausea until it releases its load and its harm is removed.
3. An animal that has been assisted in giving birth if natural delivery is difficult until the threat of danger is removed.
4. An animal afflicted by something fatal such as choking, falling from a high place, and so on until the threat of danger is removed.
5. A crippled animal, which is an animal that cannot walk due to a physical disability.
6. An animal with one of its front legs or back legs broken.
So if these last defects are added to the four mentioned in the narrations, the types of animals that cannot be slaughtered become ten in total. There are these six types plus the animals that suffer from the four previously mentioned defects.

And (remember) when Ibrahim (Abraham) said, “My Lord, make this city (Makkah) a place of security and provide its people with fruits, such of them as believe in Allah and the Last Day.” He (Allah) answered: “As for him who disbelieves, I shall leave him in contentment for a while, then I shall compel him to the torment of the Fire, and worst indeed is that destination!”
To have eemaan that Abu Bakr and ‘Umar (rahmatullaahi alaihima) are within the apartment of ‘Aaishah (radi Allaahu anha) along with Allaah’s Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam). They were buried there along with him. So if you come to their graves, then it is binding to give salutation (salaam) to them after Allah’s Messenger (sallallaahu alihi wa sallam).

And the Hajj and fighting jihaad along with the ruler continue. And the Jumu`ah Prayer behind them is allowed; and after it six rak`ahs are prayed, separating each pair of rak`ahs. This was the saying of Ahmad ibn Hanbal.
The functions carried out by the ruler are many, and the place to find them enumerated and to find them mentioned together, and where you can acquaint yourself with them is the books on the rulings relating to rulership (al-ahkaamus-sultaaniyyah) such as alAhkaamus-Sultaaniyyah of al-Maawardiyy and al-Ahkaamus-Sultaaniyyah of Aboo Ya`laa al-Hanbaliyy and books which have been written on this topic which explain the functions of the ruler. And it is mentioned in the books of fiqh and in the books of `aqaa∙id (creed and belief) also as occurs here.
