Hajj is amongst the five fundamentals of Islam and is generally the fulfilment of every person's life ambition. It has been made Fardh once on every person who has the means and therefore it is extremely necessary that extreme caution be taken in fulfilling the obligation of Hajj. Before preceding for Hajj and/or Umrah it is imperative to teach all the Masaa'il (Islamic Laws) regarding and relating to Hajj, Umrah, Salaah, Salaah on journey, the laws of Purdah in particular, and above all our behaviour and the conduct to be adopted in the Mubarak places of Makkah Mukarramah and Madina Munawwarah. Originally the name of this kitaab was Five Days of Hajj, but due to some sincere brothers' advices the kitaab is now reprinted including some other important Masaa'il and with the Ziyaarat of (visit to) Madina Munnawwarah added on.
On the journey of Hajj special care should be taken in regards to respect and Aadaab. Increase the remembrance of Allah and Istighfar. Additionally we should adopt the mannerism and even appearance of the Messenger [PBUH]. Do also take special care in ensuring that you read all your Salaat while on this journey, and especially in the Mubarak places of the Haramayn Shareefayn. In spite of this advice and guidance some learned and pious Aalim's guidance is still required.
