ADVICE

Settle Debts Or Get Permission

  • Pay off your debts before Hajj when possible and seek forgiveness spiritually for owed sins.
  • If you must go while owing money, get the creditor's permission and ensure no payment delay will result.
ADVICE

Finalize Your Will And Carry Duas

  • Prepare a legally valid will (wasiyah) before departing because Hajj mimics facing death.
  • Carry a small dua handbook like Fortress of the Muslim for authentic prayers during Hajj and Arafah.
ADVICE

Pack Meds, Vitamins, And Vaseline

  • Bring basic medications, immune boosters, and items like Vaseline for men in ihram to prevent chafing.
  • Rest before the main Hajj days and avoid overexerting yourself to reduce getting sick.
