Necessary Precautions
Always keep in mind that you are on a noble and spiritual journey the spirit of which rests on the absolute belief in God’s unity, sincerity of intention, obedience to God and to His Prophet (PBUH).
Avoid disputes and altercation and disobedience to God.
God, the Almighty has prescribed the ritual duties according to their degree of importance. Some are obligatory in nature while others are Traditional and Desirable (Mustahab). In Hajj rituals like kissing the Black-Stone (Hajar-e-Aswad) offering prayer at the place of Abraham, drinking water of Zam-Zam at the well or taps fall in the degree of Traditional or Desirable and one should perform them with patience and restitute without disturbing or pushing other men or women. It is forbidden to hurt any believer in Haram.
During the Hajj season there is always milling crowd in Haram, especially around Ka`bah. In such condition one should avoid sitting close to Ka’bah or in Mutaf, offering prayer at or near the white strip denoting the line of Black-Stone. That may create obstacles for others in the performance of their rituals.
Wile passing from Yemenite Angle (Rukan-e-Yamani) say “Bismillah” Allah-o-Akbar and simply touch it with right hand. There is no dogmatic requirement to kiss it. If crowed does not permit even this touch then simply keep moving in circumambulating (Tawaf) without gesturing towards Yemenite Angle.
One should not sit or offer prayer in walkways or passages in Haram. This will cause trouble to others.
Ladies should avoid wearing glass bangles in Haram which often break in crowed. Glass pieces on the floor can injure the barefooted Hajis.
