إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ التَّرْوِيَةِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَاغْتَسِلْ وَ الْبَسْ ثَوْبَيْكَ وَ ادْخُلِ الْمَسْجِدَ حَافِياً وَ عَلَيْكَ السَّكِينَةَ وَ الْوَقَارَ ثُمَّ صَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ عِنْدَ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع أَوْ فِي الْحِجْرِ ثُمَّ اقْعُدْ حَتَّى تَزُولَ الشَّمْسُ فَصَلِّ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ ثُمَّ قُلْ فِي دُبُرِ صَلَاتِكَ كَمَا قُلْتَ حِينَ أَحْرَمْتَ مِنَ الشَّجَرَةِ وَ أَحْرِمْ بِالْحَجِّ ثُمَّ امْضِ وَ عَلَيْكَ ا

“Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that when it is the day of al-Tarwiyah, by the will of Allah, you should take a bath and dress up in your two pieces of cloth, enter the Sacred Masjid barefoot, with calmness and dignity. Thereafter perform two Rak’at Salat (prayer) near the station of Ibrahim or in al-Hijr, then wait

إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تُحْرِمَ يَوْمَ التَّرْوِيَةِ فَاصْنَعْ كَمَا صَنَعْتَ حِينَ أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تُحْرِمَ وَ خُذْ مِنْ شَارِبِكَ وَ مِنْ أَظْفَارِكَ وَ اطْلِ عَانَتَكَ إِنْ كَانَ لَكَ شَعْرٌ وَ انْتِفْ إِبْطَيْكَ وَ اغْتَسِلْ وَ الْبَسْ ثَوْبَيْكَ ثُمَّ ائْتِ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ فَصَلِّ فِيهِ سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُحْرِمَ وَ تَدْعُو اللَّهَ وَ تَسْأَلُهُ الْعَوْنَ وَ تَقُولُ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ الْحَجّ

“When you, on the day al-Tarwiyah, decide to assume the state of Ihram, you should do what you had done when assuming the state of Ihram. You should trim your mustache, your finger nails, apply paste to remove your pubic hairs if there are any and pluck out the hairs of your under-arms. Take Ghusl (bath) and wear the t

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ وَ قَدْ أَزْمَعَ بِالْحَجِ‌[1] يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ قَالَ نَعَمْ مَا لَمْ يُحْرِمْ.

“I once asked him (the Imam) (a.s.), about a man who comes to Masjid al-Haram with the intention to commence al-Hajj, if he can perform Tawaf around the House. He (the Imam) said, ’Yes, as long as he has not assumed the state of Ihram.’”

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مِنْ أَيِّ الْمَسْجِدِ أُحْرِمُ يَوْمَ التَّرْوِيَةِ فَقَالَ مِنْ أَيِّ الْمَسْجِدِ شِئْتَ.

“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), ’From which Masjid should I assume the state of Ihram on the day of al-Tarwiyah (eight of Dhu al-Hajjah)?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘You can do so from whichever Masjid you like.’”

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع مَتَى أُلَبِّي بِالْحَجِّ فَقَالَ إِذَا خَرَجْتَ إِلَى مِنًى ثُمَّ قَالَ إِذَا جَعَلْتَ شِعْبَ دُبٍ‌[2] عَلَى يَمِينِكَ وَ الْعَقَبَةَ عَنْ يَسَارِكَ فَلَبِّ بِالْحَجِ‌[3].

‘When you leave for Mina’. Then he (the Imam) said, ‘When you reach the point where you find Shi‘b Dubb on your right and al-‘Aqabah on your left, then commence saying Talbiyah for al-Hajj.’” (Fatwa best explains this hadith and the following chapters).
