The “reliance” of a person performing this type of action titles an influential fiqh manual by Ahmad ibn Naqib al-Misri. People performing this type of action are allowed to do wudu without removing a certain article of clothing for three days and nights. (-5[1])The final asnaf, or category of person eligible to receive zakat, are people performing this type of action, (10[1])ibn al-sabeel. The second month of the Islamic calendar is named for this type of action, during which many people perform this action for Arba’in. (-5[1])By the practice of qasr, Muslims are allowed to shorten their prayers while performing this (-5[1])type of action, known as safar in Arabic. A form of this action that can be taken at any time of the year is known as umrah. For 10 points, Muslims are obligated (10[1])to perform what action (-5[1])to reach Mecca as part of the hajj?

ANSWER: traveling [or synonyms such as journeying, moving, or migrating; accept pilgrimage; accept specific methods of travel like flying or camel-riding; accept going to Mecca or hajj until read; accept safar until read] (The first line refers to the Reliance of the Traveller. The article of clothing Muslims are allowed to keep on while performing wudu while traveling are their socks.)
