Mthandiwe, mzalwane wethu,
Umrah,
okwenziwa ngaphandle kokubophezela ngesikhathi esithile, njenge-hajj
“Ukuvakashela iKaaba”
igama elisho ukuthile.
Umrah,
Ngokwemibono yamaHanafi namaMaliki, i-sunnah-i mu’akkada iyisunnah eqinisekisiwe, kanti ngokwemibono yamaShafi’i namaHanbali, iyifard (isibopho).
UHajj,
nakuba kwenziwa kuphela ngesikhathi sesizini ye-hajj,
Umrah ingenziwa noma nini.
Nokho, ukwenza i-Umrah ngosuku lwangaphambi kwe-Eid al-Adha kanye nasezinsukwini ezine zale-Eid kuyinto engathandeki. Ukwenza i-Umrah ngesikhathi seRamadan kuyinto enomvuzo omkhulu. (Elmalılı H. Yazır, Halk Dini Kur’ân Dili, II/709).
Umrah
Ngokuyinhloko, i-Umrah ihlanganisa ukuzungeza i-Kaaba (ukuyizungeza izikhathi eziyisikhombisa) kanye nokuhamba phakathi kwezintaba ze-Safa ne-Marwa izikhathi eziyisikhombisa. Ngokungafani ne-Hajj, i-Umrah ayihlanganisi ukuya e-Muzdalifah, ukuma e-Arafat, noma ukujikijela amatshe e-Mina.
Ukuzungeza iKaaba izikhathi ezine (tavaf) kuyisigaba esiyisisekelo se-umrah. Ngaphandle kwesikhathi, yonke imibandela ebekwe ngohambo lwe-hajj iyasebenza nase-umrah. Ezinye izigaba ezintathu zokuzungeza iKaaba, ukuhamba phakathi kweSafa neMarwa, kanye nokugunda izinwele noma ukuzisika ngemuva kwalokho, nazo ziyizibopho ze-umrah. Zonke izinto ezisunnah ngohambo lwe-hajj, kuze kufike ekuhambeni phakathi kweSafa neMarwa, nazo ziyisunnah nase-umrah (bheka isihloko esithi “Hajj”). Njengoba ukuhamba phakathi kweSafa neMarwa kuphothula umsebenzi we-umrah, izinto ezisunnah ezihlobene neMuzdalifah, Arafat, neMina azisebenzi nase-umrah.
Indlela yokwenza i-Umrah:
Umuntu ongumSulumane ovela ngaphandle kweMecca ofisa ukwenza i-Umrah.
indawo yokuthatha umhlaliso
Umuntu waseMecca uqala ukungena ehramu ngaphandle kweHarem.
“O Allah! Ngifuna ukwenza i-Umrah, ngiyenzele lula kimi, futhi ngiyemukele kimi.”
Uthatha umthandazo ngenhloso, abese enza i-telbiye. Uma efika eHarem-i Şerif, uzungeza iKaaba kasikhombisa, okuthiwa i-tawaf. Ekuphothuleni okuthathu kokuqala, uhamba ngesizotha. Ekuphothuleni ngakunye, ubingelela itshe elingcwele elibizwa ngeHacerü’l-Esved. Ngemuva kokuphothula i-tawaf, ukhuleka imikhuleko emibili, bese eya entabeni yaseSafa. Kusukela lapho, uyaqhubeka phakathi kweSafa neMerve kasikhombisa. Lokhu kubizwa nge-sa’y. Ngemuva kwalokho, uyaphuma e-ihram ngokugunda noma ukunciphisa izinwele zakhe. Ngale ndlela, i-hajj iyaphela (el-Mevsılî, el-İhtiyar fi Ta’lili’l-Muhtar, 157; Ömer Nasuhi Bilmen, Büyük İslâm İlmihali, 483, 508).
Izinto ezivunyelwe ngesikhathi umuntu esesimweni se-ihram ngenxa ye-Hajj, nazo azivunyelwe ngesikhathi umuntu esesimweni se-ihram ngenxa ye-Umrah.
Noma ngubani owenza omunye walemisebenzi eyenqatshelwe ngesikhathi esesimweni se-ihram, kufanele ajeziswe ngesijeziso esifanayo naleso esidingekayo kumuntu owenza umsebenzi ofanayo ngesikhathi esesimweni se-ihram ngenjongo ye-hajj.
Umrah yomuntu oye wenza umsebenzi wokuqala we-tawaf (ukuzungeza iKaaba) izikhathi ezine ngaphambi kokuba alale nomkakhe, umrah yakhe iyaphazamiseka. Nokho, umuntu oye wenza lokhu akufanele ayeke umrah yakhe, kodwa kufanele ayiqhubeke. Njengoba isijeziso, kufanele anikele ngemvu bese enza umrah futhi. Uma umuntu enza into efanayo ngemuva kokuba eseqedile izikhathi ezine zokuzungeza iKaaba, umrah yakhe ayiphazamiseki, kodwa naye kufanele anikele ngemvu (Ömer Nasuhi Bilmen, age, 85/9).
Ngiyabingelela ngithandazela…
