Common Mistakes
After Finishing Hajj or `Umrah
By IOL Shari`ah Researchers

Jan. 2,2005

1- Putting on pilgrimage attire while returning home contradicts the Sunnah, because it is something difficult for people and is a kind of showing off.

2- It’s also an act of innovation what some pilgrims do by insisting that people at home should receive the pilgrims with ceremonious flags and music.

3- After performing Hajj, some pilgrims insist that people should call them Hajji (pilgrim).

4- To act in bad manners and indulge in sins and neglect devotional acts of worship after Hajj. This, in fact, is a sign of unacceptable Hajj.

5- To swear by the Prophet (peace be upon him) after visiting his tomb, such as saying: “By the Prophet, whose tomb I have touched with my hand”, because if one swears one is to swear by Allah or better keep silent.

6- Some people wrongly think that they can commit sins as much as they like, so long as they perform Hajj, with the belief that doing so will expiate all their previous sins.
