Your time in Mecca
7) Consider the second level when performing Sa'ayyi especially if you have a shortness of breadth.
8) Men who choose to shave all their hair with a razor are encouraged to go to a professional salon to avoid unnecessary cuts to the head. A new packaged sealed razor should be used. A haircut using scissors can be performed on a street corner.
9) During the days of Al Tashreeq, try to stone Al Jamarat during the evening. Once there, it is best to take the second level. When approaching Aljamarat avoid walking straight across towards them. Instead, bear to the right or left, approach at an angle, as it's less crowded. It is very dangerous to bend over and collect jamarat from that area. When performing Dua'a between the Jamarat stations try to move to the far side to avoid the heavy traffic.
10) Arrive at least one hour before the Friday noon prayer at Al Masjid Al Haram. Otherwise, you can pray at other local mosques and God willing earn the same reward. The Friday prayer period preceding the day of Arafat is one of the most congested times at Al Masjid Al Haram.
