From Author:

The Rituals of Hajj & Umrah by Imam Ibn Taymiyyah, The Rituals of Hajj & Umrah by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah and explanation by Shaykh Nasir al Shithree (KSA

)From the 9th year of the Islamic calendar, the hajj pilgrimage was made a pillar of Al Islam. It was towards the end of the message of the prophet Muhammed that droves of people entered into islam and performed this hajj with him, yet only a few years before they were the same people who were driven out of their homes and oppressed.

This sense of urgency in fulfilling one of these major acts of worship has carried on throughout the ages, and from this stems the importance that the scholars of Islam have placed in explaining the fifth pillar of Islam. This book is a translation of the summary of Ibn Taymiyyahs famous Manasik by Shaykh Husayn Aal Shaykh with detailed commentary from Shaykh Nasir al Shithree who also wrote a short introduction to the translation. The book also features additional benefits from other well-known scholars such as Shaykh Abdul-Karim al Khudayr.

INTRODUCTION FROM THE ABRIDGER
الله الرحمن الرحيم بسم
Verily all praises are due to Allaah, We praise Him, seek His Protection, His Guidance and His Forgiveness. We seek protection and refuge from Allaah from the evils of ourselves and our actions. Whoever Allaah guides none can misguide and whoever Allaah allows to go astray none can guide. And I bear witness that Muhammad is the slave of Allaah and His Messenger, may the Peace and Blessings of Allaah be upon him, his family and his companions and May He grant them peace in abundance.
To begin:
Previously, Allaah gave me success in editing the book "The Rituals (of al-Hajj and al-'Umrah)' by Shaykh al-Islaam Ibn
Praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the Creation, I praise Him and I thank Him for the Favours upon me, and I bear witness that there is no god worthy of worship except Allaah Alone without any partners and I bear witness that Muhammad is His Slave and Messenger. To Proceed: We will read from the book of Shaykh al-Islaam Ibn at-Tayimyyah, Ahmad bin Abdul-Haleem bin Abdus-Salaam, from the scholars of this Ummah whom which the Ummah have benefitted by until today, whose books are being used and benefitted from, from the scholars of this Ummah and its general folk. So I ask Allaah to accept this from us and you and to make our deeds for His Glorious Face Alone.

Many books have been authored in this topic throughout the centuries and it is very rare to see a Fiqh book which is free from any description of the rituals of the Hajj and the 'Umrah. However here we have something unique. Here we have been given the opportunity, by the Grace of Allaah, to read directly from the explanation of the rituals by Shaykh al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah [May Allaah have Mercy on him]. A man, whom his student, Ibn al-Qayyim [May Allaah have Mercy on him] said about, "He is Shaykh al-Islaam for al-Islaam and the Muslims, upright in explaining the truth, the supporter of the religion as a whole, a caller to Allaah and His Messenger." [Radd al-Waafir of Ibn Naasir ad-Deen (Pg. 67)]. Another student, Imaam adh-Dhahabee [May Allaah have Mercy on him] recalls about his Shaykh in saying, "He had extensive knowledge in the opinions of the Companions and the Taabi'een [May Allaah be Pleased with them all]. He would rarely talk except if he mentioned their opinions. He wrote about them, he used their proofs......and there has been no one in our era who has reached the level of knowledge this man possess." [Radd al-Waafir of Ibn Naasir ad-Deen(Pg. 34)]
In this book, the reader will take a walk through the pilgrimage of the Hajj and the 'Umrah with one of the great Imaams' and revivers of al-Islaam, Shaykh al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah [May Allaah have Mercy on him]. Additionally readers of the English language will have a rare opportunity to read explanations added to this text by some of the senior scholars alive today.
