359	When intending to go for Hajj and/or ummah what kind of things do you need to do in preparation? e.g. discharging debts, making amends with family members. Does this apply to family members who have not had contact with me for years after an engagement break up? As a result of which all ties have been broken. In this case is it feasible for me to contact the person who broke up our engagement. I feel that time has passed and I have my own life and don’t feel any resentment towards him. But I don't know if this is the same on his part. In that case will my Hajj and umrah be accepted?
	The intension when going to Hajj or Umrah is that of cleansing from your Sins. You will appear begging for forgiveness at the most sacred places before Allah (S.W.T), therefore before you depart to that sacred journey it is advisable that you ask forgiveness from all those that you have had any dealing with (in particular that you forgive them). In preparation prior to this journey (please use Guide to Hajj and Umrah by zia ul quran publications, keep the book with you during your journey. Please contact Janathi Message team should you require a copy of this book in english or urdu). Seek your parents permission, try to arrange your finances that no lender is demanding return of his money, that your dependants are cared for in your absence, and that you meet as many people that you know of and inform them that you are to leave for Hajj/ Umrah and you hold nothing against them and if they forgive you should you have knowingly or unknowingly upset them. Remember it is not compulsory for them to forgive, but rather that you hold nothing against them. If a situation is that there is no contact between people, then try to reconcile or at least get the message to them that you intend to go for Hajj / Umrah, and do not hold anything against them. Please also refer to questions 103, 209 and 229.
