Our free guide to Hajj, from registering on Nusuk Hajj to the farewell Tawaf: the three kinds of Hajj, preparing and packing, Ihram, your Umrah, then every day from the 8th to the 13th of Dhul Hijjah with maps and diagrams, the Jamarat, the sacrifice, health in the heat, Madinah, the duas in transliteration with their meaning, and checklists. The rites as the schools agree, with a note wherever the Hanafi position differs.

A4, 78 pages, free to download and print. With it, a pocket guide to carry on the day: A6, 16 pages, the rites, the duas and the diagrams only, with short Hanafi notes. Both are general information prepared with care from GOV.UK, Nusuk, TravelHealthPro and established teaching on the rites, not a religious ruling: follow your scholar's guidance.
