Visiting the city of Madina and the Mosque of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم is not included in the rituals of Hajj.

However, if time permits, it is a highly recommended action to do so.

This may be your only opportunity to carry out a Ziyarah of the mosque Masjid Al- Nabawi and so

this opportunity should not be missed.

• Your group may visit Madina before or after the Hajj.

• There is not a specific number of days that you must stay in either city/country.

NOTE: There are no authentic references recommending you to stay for 40 Jama’ah prayers.

Whether you stay for more or fewer, it does not compromise your Hajj.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It is only permissible to make intention to visit Masjid Al-Nabawi, but it is

impermissible to make intention to visit the grave of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم.
