Small Research for Travel

Hajj is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and commemorates events that occurred some 4,000 years ago. Many books have been published on the topic in English but are either too technical for the reader to discharge his rites or too brief for the reader to understand the detailed affairs of the Hajj. 

The research you hold in your hands aims to be the middle path of these two extremes. The text contains minimum but essential technical language but is also highly accessible and user friendly for the worshipper looking to establish Hajj and `Umrah in a way that will be not only valid but if Allah wills, pleasing to Him.

The author, Shaikh `Umar ibn Isma`il Badran Ad-Dumi (d.1403), may Allah have mercy upon him, having made the Hajj several times in his life, assessed the needs of Muslims while in the Holy Sanctuary and sought to remedy many of the egregious and also avoidable errors committed while there.

If Allah wills, this work gives a thorough but concise look at the rites of Hajj and `Umrah but also gives the evidence and reasoning for each action, detailing the essentials, wajib acts and more. If someone is looking to carry out Hajj and `Umrah in a responsible way and to enjoy the blessings of this immense Pillar of Islam, this work stands as a great resource.
