Don haka ka yi tawaafi hamsin.

If one wants to go to Jeddah then the procedure is as follows; generally the agent charges a normal fee and arranges a day trip to Jeddah. This includes a visit to various Masjids, some graves, lunch and shopping. If you want to go with your family, then go to the Mohassasah office with one photo each, then at the office, a permit will be issued to you for the day trip, use it on that day. On the road to Jeddah, both going time and coming time there will be policemen to verify entry documents.

It is permissible to use a wheelchair for the journey, on the journey, for Tawaaf, for the 5 days etc. If one has one’s private wheelchair then one has to go to the governmental offices situated behind Safa/Marwah for a weekly permit. This will allow you to enter the Haram. The disadvantage of this is, daily permission is to be sent.

It is better to get a government approved and serviced wheelchair from one of their outlets. In 2002 it was near the general Hospital in Ajyad. They may take a deposit or your Mohassasah card. On returning the wheelchair you will get back your deposit. However, get a wheelchair that does not have a foot pedal but rather a plastic strap. If it does have a metal foot pedal than be cautious as to how you push the wheelchair. Pushing the wheelchair onto others from the back is extremely painful and you may injure someone on the path very seriously. Be absolutely considerate of others. In the 5

Before discussing the 5 days of Hajj, day to day, some useful information on the walking Hajj has to be shared. Mufti Aashiq Illahi Bulanshari Muhajir Madani (A.R.) once asked me how I perform Hajj, after I explained he gave a suggestion that we go to Arafaat and pitch a tent and spend the day under it. I replied, that we are South Africans, we are made out of Sugar Candy and that we will melt and die. However, on reaching Makkah, whilst having various question and answer sessions on the roof top, I promoted the idea and eight of us were ready.

Shirin aiki ya kasance mai sauƙi, kowannenmu zai kawo ɗaya

The plan of action was simple, each one of us were going to bring 1

Sannan muka shafe ranar Arafat a karkashin wadannan tantuna na wucin gadi. Shekara mai zuwa adadinmu ya ninka, kuma tun daga lokacin yana ci gaba da karuwa.

Upon reaching Masjid e Namira in Arafaat, instead of going to the South African tents which is about 3 kilometres from Namira, we looked for the first suitable spot and using the equipment we pitched a tent. We then passed the day of Arafaat under these make shift tents. The next year our numbers doubled and ever since it has been on the increase.

2.) Banners/ flags/ markers and ribbons must be used if group is more than 100.

4.) A good pair of footwear which is Shari compliant. Females may use any footwear of their choice, whilst male’s footwear must have the raised foot bone exposed and the ankle bones bare. Use the footwear before the 5 days so that you become accustomed to it.

Duk abin da aka tanada a karkashin sashe na tafiya yana nan, sai dai mutum na iya amfani da karamar jaka, ba lallai ba ne jakar baya. Ku yi tafiya da kaya kadan.

Take all that has been stipulated under section for walking but one may use a small bag and not necessarily a backpack. Travel lightly.

Some agents arrange private transport at a further cost. In all cases, note and be informed from where and at what time your bus is leaving. Make sure you are at the correct spot and right time to travel. This applies for all journeys, whether from Makkah to Mina, Mina to Arafaat, Arafaat to Muzdalifah, Muzdalifah to Mina.

Generally the bus has difficulty in reaching Muzdalifah. Make sure and be certain that the bus leaves you in Muzdalifah and not on the out skirts. Also many times the bus leaves you in Muzdalifah not to return. So you must walk from Muzdalifah to Mina. Know the road to your tent/ camp in Mina. In most cases you will have to make you own arrangements from Mina to Makkah and after Tawaaf e Ziyaarat find your own transport back to Mina. Try to excess the Saptco Public Transport or take a taxi +- SR 10 per passenger.

If your agent has arranged private transport from Makkah to Mina, be on time. Try not to use the transport back to Makkah or Azzizia on the 5th Day of Hajj. It is absolutely chaotic and everyone is rushing back to Makkah. The roads are jam packed and this short trip can take hours. Take a slow walk back to Makkah, make many stops, rest a lot, do not rush, there is enough food, water, toilet amenities available on the road path.

We have explained the basic requirements to be taken. The lighter the better, more Talbiyyah the easier. This applies both to walking and bus. You should have a vague idea of the route. This will aid if you get misplaced. You will not get lost. When over 50% of the Hujjaj are walking in one direction, how can you get lost.

There is enough food/ fruit/ drinks on the walking road. You will not Insha Allaah die of starvation as some agents tell you. I do not think that up to date, one Haji died on the walking road out of starvation. You should know when you are walking and have a rough idea of where you are stopping, walk slowly. You are doing the walking Hajj not the running Hajj. You should walk at a normal pace, so that the slower ones are catered for. You should serve others and not want to be served.

The most difficult walks are from Masjid e Namira to the tents. This is because you now walk for +-3 kilometres on road that has every type of vehicle on it. Lately the government is trying to devise a system whereby all busses etc will stop at the outer ring road and the inner roads will be free from vehicles. They have succeeded to a great extent.
