12. The ruling in regards to men and women is the same in
all the above mentioned laws. However, there are certain actions which are only
permissible for women. They are:
12.1. To cover the head, which is Fard in Namaaz and in the
presence of a na Mahram, so to carry bedding or luggage on the head is better.
12.2. To gather the hair firmly with gum
12.3. To fasten a taweez and strap it on the neck or arm
even if it is sewn.
12.4. To enter the Ghilaaf-e-Kaaba in a manner whereby it
falls over the head and not on the face.
12.5. To wear socks, gloves and sewn clothing
12.6. Women should not say Labaik so loudly that it is heard
by a Na Mahram. However, everyone should read audibly enough so that one is
able to hear ones own voice.
Note: It is even
Haraam for a female to cover her face in Ehraam. She should hide her face with
a fan etc in front of a Na Mahram male.
13. If those factors which are not permitted in Ehraam occur
by error or forgetfully, then it is not regarded as a sin. However, one will be
liable to pay the penalty for committing this act. This must be paid, whether
it has occurred intentionally, unintentionally, under duress, or whilst asleep.
14. From the time of wearing the Ehraam right upto the time
of Rami Jamrah (which will be explained later on), it is better to recite the
Labaik as often as possible, especially when climbing and descending mountains
or hills, when meeting with other groups, during the morning and the evening,
in the latter parts of the night, and after all five Salaahs. Men should read
Labaik aloud but it should not be so loudly that it causes discomfort to you or
to others.
15. When close to the Haram (Makkah), then bow the head and
lower your gaze in humility, ashamed of your sins. Then, with complete devotion
and sincerity, enter the Kaaba reciting the Labaik and making Dua abundantly.
It is more virtuous if you are barefoot. It is better to enter the Haram during
the day, after taking a bath.
16. To break branches, uproot trees, cut fresh grass, kill
animals and birds, or to cause any discomfort to them within the boundaries of
the Haram is Haraam. The ruling is that if it is a hot day and there is only one
tree in that area, and a deer etc. is seated under that tree, which is giving
shade to it, one is not permitted to chase it away so that you may sit in its shade.
If a person had with him any wild animal, which he brought with him from
outside the boundaries of the Haram, then it is Fard for him to now release it
immediately, since the animal is now in the sanctified Haram and therefore
belongs there. In Makkah Muazzamah there are many wild pigeons. Beware! Never
chase them away, frighten them or cause any harm to them. In Makkah some people
from other places who are now residing there, do not bother about the pigeons
(and harm them). Do not follow this practice. More importantly, do not
criticise these people as well, because if the respect for the animals there is
so great, then what can be said regarding the respect of the Muslim human
beings.
17. On seeing the Holy city of Almighty Allah, pause and
make Dua and recite Durood Shareef in abundance. It is more virtuous to take a
bath and wash before entering. Also offer Faateha for those buried in Jannat-ul-Mual’la (The
Blessed Cemetery of Makkah).
18. On reaching the area from where the Holy Kaaba is
clearly visible, Allahu Akbar! This is a time of great acceptance and
acknowledgement. Ask Dua with a true and sincere heart, for the wellbeing and forgiveness
of all your relatives, elders, families and friends. This humble servant (Aala
Hazrat) is quoting below one such Dua. Durood should be read in abundance and
this Dua thrice:
Allahuma Haaza Baituka wa Ana Abduka As'alukal Afwa
wal Aafiyata fid Deeni Wad Duniya Wal Aakhirati li Wa li waliday'ya Wa lil
Mu'mineena Wal Mu'minaati Wa Li Abdika Ahmad Raza ibni Naqi Ali. Allahumagh
firhuma Warhamhuma Wansurhu Nasran Azeeza (After this, again recite Durood
Shareef)
19. In this manner, continue making the Zikr of Almighty
Allah and His Rasool صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم and whilst making Dua for the success and salvation of the
Muslims, proceed towards ‘Baabus Salaam’. Kiss this blessed and Holy place and
enter with the right foot by saying,
Bismillahi wal Humdu lil’lahi was Salaamu Ala Rasoolil
laahi. Allahumma sal’li Alaa Sayyidina Muhammadin Wa Ala Aali Sayyidina
Muhammadiw, Wa Azwaaji Sayyidina Muhammadin. Allahummagh firli zunoobi Waf
tahli Abwaaba Rahmatika
20. The above mentioned Dua should be well memorised.
Whenever going to the Haram or to any other Musjid, do so in the prescribed
manner and recite the above mentioned Dua. When exiting a Musjid, always do so
with the left foot and read the same Dua, and in the end instead of Rahmatika
say Fadlika and also add:
‘Wa Sah’hil Abwaaba Rizqika’
The blessings of this in the worldly and Deeni life
will be in abundance
