Perform Hajj

Ghusl for entering Makka

21. And whoever can talk a ghusl (bath) before entering Makkah then he should do so. And he should enter Makkah in the day following the example of Rasoolullah.⁽³⁰⁾

22. And he should enter from the upper part of Makkah which today has Bab ul Mi’laah as the Prophet entered from the upper pass (Kadaa’)⁽³¹⁾ above the graveyard, and he entered the masjid from Bab Bani Shaibah as that was the nearest way to the Black Stone (Al-Hajrul-Aswad).

23. And he is allowed to enter by any path as the Prophet said: All of the mountain passes of Makkah are a pathway and place for slaughter and in another hadith, All of Makkah is a pathway. He enters from here and leaves from here.⁽³²⁾

24. So if you enter the masjid do not forget to enter by the right foot,⁽³³⁾ and say:⁽³⁴⁾ allallhumma salli `alaa muhammadin wa sallim - allaahumma aftah lee abwaaba rahmatika or a’oodhu billaahil `azeemi wa biwajhihil kareem wa sultaanihil qadeemi minash shaitaanir rajeem.

25. And when he sees the Ka’bah he raises his hands if he wants to - as it is established from Ibn `Abbaas.(935))

26. And there is no du’aa established from the Prophet at this point. So he may make du’aa with Whatever he can if he wishes with the du’aa which is established from `Umar:⁽³⁶⁾ allaahumma anta salaamu wa minkas salaamu fahayyinaa rabbanaa bissalaam
