Hajj rituals take 5 to 6 days to complete and are performed on the 10th of Dul Hijjah every year.

Here is the step-by-step guide to performing Hajj:

Make a sincere intention

The first vital step is to make a clear intention for Hajj; it must be only for the desire of Allah, not for a pretentious purpose.

Perform Ihram

Men or women wear the Ihram to attain purification physically and spiritually. Men wear two pieces of white cloth (unstitched); women should prefer abayas, but they can also wear any appropriate or modest clothing.

Complete tawaf (tawaf al-Qudum)

After wearing Hajj, perform tawaf around the Holy Kaba seven times for the determination of saying salaam to the Holy Kaba.

Perform the Sai.

After Tawaf Qudum, the hajji accomplishes Sa'i between Safa and Marwah. Pilgrims should perform this ritual with patience and kindness in the remembrance of Hazrat Hajra (A.S).

Hajji move forward towards Mina (city of tents)

Hajji, on the day of 8 Dhul Hijjah, headed for Mina to offer prayers and supplications and make themselves ready for Arafat.

Short stay at Arafat

On the day of 9 Dhul Hijjah, Hajjis spend time in worship at Arafah for a short time until evening.

Stay the night in Muzdalifah

After evening, Hajji goes towards Muzdalifah and offers two prayers together (Maghrib and Isha). Hajj sleeps on the roads in the open sky.

Rami (stoning at the devil)

On the 10th of Dhul Hijjah, Hajji departs for Mina and does Rami to disown the Devil.

Eid al-Adha

Hajji offers Salah of Eid al-Adha and accomplishes the sacrifice of an animal on 10 of Dhul Hijjah.

Tawaf ul Ifadah

After performing all the main rituals of Hajj, the hajji performs Tawaf ul Ifadah, in which the hajji goes back to the Kaba and performs tawaf.

Again, stoning at Jamarat

On 11 Dhul Hijjah, Hajji executes Rami again.

Tawaf Ul Wida

Hajji does tawaf ul wida; this tawaf is for the last salam to the Holy Kaba, and then they return to Mina to execute Rami.
