📍 3 Mistakes to Avoid in Madinah Before Hajj 2026 Hajj 2026 (1447 AH) is expected to begin around Monday, 25 May 2026, with the Day of Arafah on Tuesday, 26 May and Eid al-Adha on Wednesday, 27 May, subject to the official moon sighting in Saudi Arabia. If you're spending these final days in Madinah before heading to Makkah, this Short shows you the 3 biggest mistakes pilgrims make — and how to avoid them. 🛍️ Mistake 1 — Not shopping in Madinah first Most pilgrims wait until they reach Makkah to buy their ihram, sandals, prayer mats, and Hajj essentials. By then, demand is at its peak and prices climb. The markets around Masjid an-Nabawi (Taibah Market, Bab 339 shops, and the local souqs) consistently offer better value before Hajj season. Stock up here. 👟 Mistake 2 — Wrong footwear You'll walk for hours every single day across Mina, Arafat, and Muzdalifah. Cheap or stylish-but-stiff sandals will destroy your feet before the rites of Hajj even peak. Invest in proper, broken-in, comfortable sandals before you leave Madinah — your feet are your transport for the next 5 days. 🤲 Mistake 3 — Wasting your Madinah days Madinah is the calm before Hajj. Use it. Learn the rites, understand your Miqat at Dhul Hulayfah (Bir Ali) — designated by the Prophet ﷺ as the Miqat for those leaving Madinah (Sahih al-Bukhari 1525, Sahih Muslim 1181) — and make sincere dua. The Prophet ﷺ said there is no day on which Allah frees more servants from the Fire than the Day of Arafah (Sahih Muslim 1348). Prepare your heart for that moment now. May Allah accept the Hajj of every pilgrim heading to His House this year. 🤲 #Hajj2026 #MadinahTips #HajjGuide #UmrahTips #Hajj #Umrah #Madinah #MasjidNabawi #SunnahAlive #IftarInMadinah #SaudiArabia #KSA #UmrahTips #HajjGuide #IslamicTravel #PilgrimHacks
