Islam is built on five duties: testifying that there is no god but God and that Muhammad is the Messenger of God, establishing prayer, paying zakat, fasting Ramadan, and performing Hajj to the Sacred House of God for whomever is able to path. Hajj is obligatory for every capable Muslim, and ability means physical and financial ability, and for the pilgrim to be safe for his family in his absence, and it is a one-time obligation for a Muslim, and anything more than this time is voluntary. The Hajj was imposed since the time of the Prophet Ibrahim, peace be upon him, after he and his son Ismail completed the construction of the Kaaba, upon the command of God Almighty. Muslims make the pilgrimage to the Sacred House of God at the beginning of Dhul-Hijjah, so that the pause of Arafah takes place on the ninth day, and they dissolve themselves on the tenth day and slaughter camels and sheep.











A Muslim can perform the Hajj by following the following order The rituals of Hajj begin with leaving the house with the intention of Hajj, and that is because of the hadith of the Messenger, may prayers and peace be upon their Actions are but by intentions, but for every person what he intends, so whoever I forsake to a world will befall her, or to a woman who marries her, then I forsake him to what he migrated to.

Entering the Haram and starting to circumnavigate the Kaaba seven circuits, where each round begins with the Black Stone and is to the left of the Hajj, and the pilgrim must receive the Black Stone in every stroke by kissing, or pointing to it from his place if he is unable to reach. The sect should avoid hurting the pilgrims next to it by crowding, or pushing by hand, and the like, so that nothing detracts from its reward. Sa'y seven times after the circumambulation between As-Safa and Marwah. Al-Safa and Al-Marwah are two mountains in Makkah based on the pursuit of Hajar, the wife of Ibrahim, peace be upon him, and the mother of Ismail, peace be upon him, between them in the famous story in search of water. O people, strive! For the pursuit has been written against you.)
