What are the difficulties faced by one who intends to perform Hajj?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The difficulties of Hajj are summarized in Tawaf (circumambulation) and Sa'i (ritual brisk walking) due to overcrowding, the standing at Arafat and the movement from it, Muzdalifah due to scarcity of services, and the Rami (stoning) of theرات (jamarat) due to the large number of people and the misbehavior of some. The farewell Tawaf is difficult due to most pilgrims performing it at the same time. It is recommended to delay the Rami and the farewell Tawaf until night or until the third day of the أيام التشريق (Days of Tashreeq). These difficulties do not prevent a Muslim from performing the worship, as the reward is commensurate with the hardship.
