Things to avoid during Hajj:
For every Muslim, performing Hajj is considered to be a major religious goal as it holds great importance in Islam. Since the occasion of Hajj takes place only once a year, thousands and thousands of Muslims gather at the holy land of Makkah to carry out religious obligations. With so many people around, there are chances that we may become confused as to what obligation to carry out in the proper manner. This is a very important factor to consider as making mistakes can deprive us from receiving blessings of Allah in its fullest. It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “I heard the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) say: “Whoever performs Hajj for the sake of Allah and does not utter any obscene speech or do any evil deed, will go back (free of sin) as his mother bore him” (Sahih Al Bukhari 1449, Sahih Al Muslim 1350).

Hajj is an important time of the year where pilgrims ideally want to spend their time praying and worshipping to the almighty Allah. There are a number of mistakes that are often misunderstood by many people. We will be covering some of the most common ones that should be avoided during Hajj.
- Make correct intention
Many people go to perform Hajj for the wrong reasons. The purpose of performing Hajj is to fulfil the fifth pillar of Islam as legislated by Allah. Many people go to Hajj and they forget that they went to please Allah and ask Allah for forgiveness. The intention must be made since it is an act of worship and the act needs to be done to please Allah and according to how the Prophet (PBUH) performed it. If the correct intention is not made, then the deed is rejected. Make sure to perform Hajj for Allah and not for anything or anyone or to get a title or to get special privileges in society.
- Don’t end up pushing others
We can all understand how Makkah and Madina are packed with pilgrims during the Hajj season. Thus, it is important to be considerate when performing our obligations by making sure you do not end up disturbing the people around you. Be aware of the people around you, especially during tawaf or walking between Safa and Marwa. It is understandable that we want to perform the tawaf as close to the Ka’aba as possible, but this does not mean you take away someone else’s right by pushing them away.
- When in Ihram: do not put on perfume or makeup
One of the most common misconceptions during Hajj is that pilgrims should, or can, wear perfumes or colognes. The problem is that many of such perfumes may contain alcoholic content which makes it strictly prohibited. At the same time, women should refrain from putting on makeup as the purpose of Hajj is not to cause any unwanted attention, but it is solely to focus on committing to Allah’s words.
- Refrain from eating junk food
Hajj is an obligation that requires physical activity for a number of days. It is important for pilgrims to maintain their health in order to fully make use of this spiritual opportunity. Thus, pilgrims are advised to maintain a healthy diet throughout the Hajj process by having to avoid junk food as it may cause distractions in the form of diarrhea or other uneventful health issues.
