Reassuming ihram for hajj [9]

 Reassuming ihram for hajj

A pilgrim who performs hajj tamattu' is to reassume ihram for hajj on 8th Dhul-Hijjah which is known as yawm at-tarwiyyah. He is to enter ihram for hajj in the manner described above and wear his ihram garments while in a state of purity by either bathing or performing ablution. He is then to offer two rak'ahs inside the Sacred Mosque if possible, make the intention for hajj, and say if he wishes, "Allahumma inni aradtu al-hajj fa yasiruhu li wa taqaballahu minni." i.e. "O Allah! I intend to perform hajj, so make it easy for me and accept it from me."

Next, he chants the talbiyah and says, "Labayk Allahuma labayk. Labayk la sharika laka labayk. Inna al hamda wa al ni`mata Laka wal mulk, la sharika Lak" i.e. "O my Lord! Here I am ever at Your service, here I am. You have no partner, here I am. Truly, all praise, blessings and dominion are Yours. You have no partner." In this manner and after making the intention, a pilgrim is in a state of ihram for hajj.

It is recommended for a pilgrim to chant the talbiyah as much possible while walking, standing and sitting and to raise his voice without disturbing others; a woman is to chant silently. A pilgrim is to continue chanting the talbiyah on the way to Mina and 'Arafat, at 'Arafat, when leaving 'Arafat for Muzdalifah, at Muzdalifah and upon reaching Mina on yawm an-nahr (the day of slaughter). A pilgrim continues chanting until he starts stoning Jamarat al-'Aqaba.
