Requirements of Hajj
1. Ihram: Forbidding certain behaviors which are permissible normally, and to invoke talbiyah.
2. Tawaf: Walking around the Kaaba seven times and then praying two rakaats.
3. Sa'y: Traveling back and forth seven times between Safa and Marwah.
4. Arafat: Spending the afternoon of the Arafat day on the plain of the Mount Arafat until after sunset.
5. Muzdalifah: Spending the night just before the Eid in the valley of Muzdalifah until sunrise.
6. Stoning: Throwing pebbles at three walls called jamarat in the valley of Mina on the days of Eid.
7. Sacrificing: Sacrificing an animal in Mina, small or big, on the days of Eid (only for those who combine hajj and umrah).
8. Shaving: Having his head shaved.
Four of these requirements are already joint with umrah. Sacrificing an animal is conditional, too. So then, there are only three requirements special to hajj: Spending the day of Arafat in Arafat, spending the night of Eid in Muzdalifah, and Mina on the days of Eid.
Hajj is so simple and so plain.
