The Hajj Procedure

Day One

The Muslim begins her or his spiritual journey by reciting their intention to perform Hajj. She or he then enters a spiritual state called Ihraam where the Muslim will refrain from things such as cutting their nails and hair, making marriage proposals, hunting or killing animals, sex, and wearing perfume. The Muslim then makes their initial tawaf (circle) around the Kabaa'. Afterwards, Muslims run between the hills of Safa and Marwa, symbolic of Hajar, wife of Ibrahim, searching for water for their son, Ismail. It is here that water appeared from a well (the well of Zamzam) below Ismail's feet. The pilgrims then travel to the nearby town of Mina.

Day Two

Pilgrims travel to Arafah after morning prayer. Once there, the pilgrims pray and repent for their sins on Mount Rahma (Mountain of Mercy). After this, the pilgrim travels to Mudalifah and collects seventy pea-sized pebbles, which will be used the following day for throwing.

Day Three

Pilgrims travel to Mina and throw stones at the Jamarat, which is the symbol of all the evil in the world. These ceremonial actions represent our continuous battle against evil. While throwing the pebbles, pilgrims recite "God is great" and "in the name of God." Pilgrims may then sacrifice an animal, consuming one third of the meat, giving one third to friends and family, and giving one third to celebrate Eid-ul-Adha. Eid-ul-Adha is celebrated all over the world. It is a joyous day for all Muslims. Pilgrims then return to Mecca and circle (tawaf) around the Kabaa'.

Day Four

Pilgrims then leave Mecca and return to Medina where they once again stone the Jamarat Pillars, this time stoning three instead of just one. Once again, the pilgrims recite "God is great" and "in the name of God."

Day Five

Pilgrims stone the Jamarat once again and return to Mecca. Once in Mecca, they once again tawaf around the Kabaa'. This is the "farewell" tawaf. This is an emotional time for the pilgrims because this is the last time they will see the Kabaa'. This completes the Holy Pilgrimage.

Is hajj of 1981 hajj e Akbar?

Shia:If you mean akbar, I can answer you that, we have at least some hadis in this regard. In a hadis witch narrated from Imam Sadigh(AS) that he said: "the greater haj is yavm Al-Nahr (ead al-azha, 10'th of zelhajja') and the miner is umra'". Man la yahzor Al-Faghih v3 p376.It has been wrongly believed that if the 9th of Zil Hajja (the Day of Arfa) falls on Friday, it is Hajj-i-Akbar. Actually, Umra is Minor Hajj. A person who performs Umra is also Haji (Pilgrim). The Hajj that is performed during 8th to 13th of ZilHajja is Hajj-i-Akbar. The Day of Arfa may fall on any day of the week.
