Departure

Depart with happiness from home. A Hajj which is performed with a feeling of love and keenness is conducive to religious up liftment. Inconvenience during travel should not hamper this love and keenness.
Perform Two Rak'at
Before commencing the journey, perform two rak'at, in which Soorah Kaafiroon is recommended to b e recited in the first rak'at and Soorah Ikhlaas to be recited in the second rak'at. Take care that this salaat is not performed during the Makrooh times.
Give Something in Charity
Give something in charity before your departure and also after the departure, because Sadaqah removes calamities from you.
Meet all Your Friends and Relatives

•  Before departing you should meet all your friends and relatives.
• Bid them farewell and ask them to pray for you.
