Hajj Step by Step - The Complete Pilgrimage Guide

Follow the Hajj step by step: ihram at the miqat, the Talbiyah, Tawaf and Sa'i, the eighth day at Mina, the standing at Arafah, the night at Muzdalifah, the day of sacrifice, and the final days of Tashreeq. The journey is told from the Prophet Muhammad's own Hajj, peace be upon him, as narrated by his companion Jabir in Sahih Muslim, alongside the Quran's verses on the pilgrimage. Quran and authentic hadith are identified as such, and later tradition is labelled separately. This is a general explainer, not a fatwa: details differ between the schools of law, so confirm your own Hajj with a qualified scholar. For permits and travel, use Saudi Arabia's official Nusuk platform. Narration is synthetic. Images are AI-generated illustrative artwork, not photographs or exact reconstructions. No prophets, companions or identifiable pilgrims are depicted. No recitation or music is included. Companion video: our Umrah step-by-step guide.
