Hajj 2024 - Fiqh of Umrah by Mufti Abdul Wahab Waheed

[@KM-gi3mc]

My suggestion is if you have people performing Umrah/Hajj for the first time please have couple of leaders assigned to lead them. Let’s say you have 10 people in your group who is doing Umrah for the first time. At least assign one leader for 3-4 people who is performing Umrah with them. I have seen Malaysian groups with tight ropes with much more people sticking together throughout their Umrah. I was even following one of their group leaders because I was like…I don’t know how to do this but looks like they do. So I’m going to follow them. I was not part of their group but I joined because there was someone leading them. So you guys should really do something like this and not completely abandon the ones who are doing the first time around. Know how many people in your group are going for the first time….after all they’re paying you and trusting you with this. Please don’t break their trust. Money and opportunities like this don’t come every day. And we trust you to lead us the right way. JazakAllah On my second Umrah I led 2 people doing their Umrah for the first time and I did not abandon them until we were done with Sa’ee. So basically the whole Umrah three of us did together. If I’m capable of it…then I’m sure your program can organize much better.

And please don’t rush around while doing Tawaf and Saee. We really don’t have any train to catch nor is there any Hadith that says that Umrah should be done within half an hr or an hr. Take your time. You went to Makkah for this purpose only. Slow down and take your time. Nobody needs to rush. There is no rat race there but everybody acts like as if there is. Slow yourself down and the one next to you will also slow themselves down.
