Things to do Before Going for Hajj and Umrah

Every Muslim should go on Hajj once in their lifetime, as it is the holy pilgrimage of the Muslims. Going on Hajj is considered to be very important by Muslims. Every year, you will see lakhs of people going on Hajj from different parts of the world. People go there, pray there, and spend some time there in Mecca and Madinah. If you are also planning to go on Hajj, there are a few things which you should be aware of before going on hajj. There are a few things which every Muslim should do in advance when going for Hajj and Umrah. Not every Muslim is aware of these things and sometimes people forget doing these things, so we are sharing that here.

Book tickets in advance

There is a particular time every year when the Hajj tour starts. However, as Mecca Madinah is said to be the holy pilgrimage, some people visit there any time of the year. If you are planning to visit Mecca Madinah you need to decide in advance when you will be visiting there. If you are planning to visit when the Hajj tour starts during the particular time of the year, we suggest you book your tickets in advance. As there is a huge rush during that time, and flight tickets and hotel rooms get booked around six to seven months before only. That is why it is suggested to plan for Hajj and umrah 2020 in advance only. Otherwise, you will not be able to get the tickets for Hajj and Umrah Tour.

Clear all your debts before you go on Hajj

This is one of the most important things which every Muslim should remember. Until and unless they have not paid all the debts, they should not go on Hajj. It is not considered good to go on Hajj after borrowing money. So, check and ensure that you have cleared all your debts before you start planning for the Hajj and Umrah. Even it is also said that one should do Hajj from their own money unless and until they do not fall in the category of dependants. Like for a child or an old man, it might not be possible to go on Hajj using their own money.

Get all the medical check-ups done

Hajj is not just a one- or two-day tour. It takes time, and meanwhile, you will have to stay there. That is why it is always suggested that people who are going on Hajj, should get their medical check-up done. They should not be facing any medical issues or medical problems which do not allow them to go on Hajj. Also, it is suggested that people should get all the vaccinations done before they go on Hajj. In case, you are planning to go on Hajj, get the vaccinations done. If you are going with your family, ensure they all have got the vaccination. This will help in keeping you and your family away from any kind of diseases or health issues.
