There are four Farz (obligatory) duties in Hajj that every pilgrim must perform to make their Hajj valid. These duties are essential parts of the pilgrimage and cannot be skipped.

The four Farz duties are:

1. Ihram – Entering the state of Ihram before crossing the designated Miqat.

2. Standing at Arafat – Spending the afternoon of 9th Zulhajj at the plain of Arafat.

3. Tawaaf al-Ifadah – Performing the main circumambulation around the Kaaba after Arafat.

4. Stoning the Jamrah – Throwing stones at the Jamrah pillars in Mina.


Completing these duties is necessary for the acceptance of Hajj. Missing any of these Farz acts without a valid reason can make the Hajj invalid.

Understanding these four Farz duties helps pilgrims prepare properly and fulfill the requirements of Hajj. It also helps students of Islamic studies learn the main pillars of the pilgrimage.

Each duty has its own significance and spiritual meaning, strengthening the connection between the pilgrim and Allah during Hajj.
