Why , when and how we perform hajj?

Hajj ...

Allah made it compulsory for every Muslim male and female to perform Hajj once in a life time, provided they have the means and are physically able to do so. It is one of the five pillars of Islam.It was prescribed in the sixth year of the Hijrah [the migration of the messenger] [peace be upon him] from Makah to Madinah. A Muslim who denies the obligatory nature of Hajj becomes a disbeliever. A person who has the ability to make a Hajj and does not do so will be accountable on the day of Judgement.

• If one entered ihram before these mawaqit, it is valid.

• The miqat of one who is in Makkah is the Haram for hajj and al-Hill for `umrah.
