SECOND REMINDER. Yaum Ar-Raaba'a 12th day of Zul-Qa'âdah (Wednesday, 25th July). SOME BASIC ADVICE FOR THOSE GOING FOR HAJJ In shaa Allaah. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Let's continue from the first reminder; Whoever is performing hajj should use for his Hajj or ‘umrah pure wealth (i.e., that which is halaal and earned from halaal sources), because it is narrated in a sound report from the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) that he said: “Verily Allah, may He be exalted, is good and does not accept anything but that which is good (i.e., halaal).” At-Tabaraani narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “If a man sets out as a pilgrim with halaal and pure provision, and puts his foot in the stirrup and calls out ‘Labbayk Allahumma labbayk,’ a caller calls out to him from heaven: ‘May you prosper; your provision is halaal, your mount is halaal, your Hajj will be accepted and your sin will be expiated.’ But if a man sets out with haraam provision, and puts his foot in the stirrup and calls out ‘Labbayk Allahumma labbayk,’ a caller calls out to him from heaven: ‘May you never prosper; your provision is haraam, your spending is haraam, and your Hajj will not be accepted.’” The pilgrim should show no interest in that which people have and he should refrain from asking of them, because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever asks Allah to help him to maintain his dignity, Allah will help him; and whoever seeks Allah’s help to be independent of means, Allah will make him independent.” And he (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “A man will keep asking of people until he comes on the Day of Resurrection without a shred of flesh on his face.” To be continued in shaa Allah. May Allah grant us the opportunity to be able to perform hajj in our youth time and purify all the hujjaaj. Aameen. My apologies for sharing the wrong second Reminder earlier.
