Steps of Hajj (8th–13th Dhul-Hijjah)
1. Enter the State of Ihram (8th Dhul-Hijjah)
• Make Niyyah (Intention): Begin with a sincere intention for Hajj.
• Wear Ihram: Men wear two white, unstitched cloths; women wear modest, non-scented clothing covering the body.
• Recite Talbiyah: Continuously recite:
“Labbayk Allahumma Labbayk, Labbayka La Shareeka Laka Labbayk, Innal Hamda Wan Ni'mata Laka Wal Mulk, La Shareeka Lak."
