Hajj includes the following actions: : 1- ihram; 2- reciting the Talbiyah; 3- performing tawaf; 4- performing sa`i; 5- shaving the head or cutting the hair; 6- going to Mina; 7- going to ‘Arafah; 8- going to Muzdalifah; 9- going back to Mina; 10- stoning the jamarat; 11- farewell tawaf.

Sincerity is the core of accepted worship in Islam, including Hajj. While doing business during Hajj is allowed by the Quran, the act of Hajj must be primarily driven by devotion to Allah. If the main intention is worldly gain, the sincerity—and thus the reward—may be compromised.

The majority of scholars are of the view that wudu is an essential condition of tawaf. However, wudu is not essential for sa`i.
