During Hajj or Umrah, there are prohibitions that must not be violated. This is intended to show how a servant can be obedient to Allah's commands. Ihram is the state in which one has made the intention to perform the Hajj rituals, during which certain prohibitions must be observed. On the other hand, Tahallul is the state in which it becomes permissible to do what was previously forbidden.
Do's & Don'ts of Hajj and Umrah
Dam Nusuk
Dam is an Arabic word that literally means blood. In Islamic terminology, dam refers to the shedding of blood by slaughtering livestock (camels, cows, or goats) within the sacred land (haram) to fulfill a requirement of the Hajj rituals. Every violation during Hajj is subject to a penalty according to the type of violation committed. The penalty is applied once a violation occurs.
According to the regulations, this dam is imposed on pilgrims who perform Tamattu’ or Qiran Hajj, not due to any mistake.
A person performing Tamattu’ or Qiran Hajj is obligated to offer a dam by slaughtering one goat.
If they are unable to do so, they must replace it by fasting for 10 days, under the following conditions:
- 3 days must be fasted during the Hajj period in Makkah, and
- The remaining 7 days must be fasted after returning to their home country.
If the person is unable to fast the 3 days in Makkah, they must instead:
- Fast 10 days in their home country,
- The first 3 days substitute the Makkah fast,
- Then there should be a minimum 4-day break,
- After that, complete the remaining 7 days of fasting as part of their obligation.
