The Hajj
Hajj is a pilgrimage to Mecca and its associated holy places at a set time. The Quran establishes the duty of pilgrimage for those who are able to make the journey.[1] In the usual Sunni teachings, the Hajj is considered one of the five pillars of Islam and is explained as a once-in-a-lifetime obligation when the conditions are met. The statement "once in a lifetime" is not a literal wording of verse 3:97.
The main idea
The pilgrim leaves his regular schedule for worship. People from different countries come together; wealth, background, and language do not replace sincerity and good deeds. During the Hajj, the Quran commands to avoid sin and quarrel.[2]
What Pilgrimage Includes
In practical training, Hajj includes entering the state of ihram, bypassing Kaaba - taaf, passing between Safa and Marva - sa'i, staying at Arafat and other activities. Their order depends on the type of hajj. This is a brief introduction to the terms of the fiqh. The complete order is not derived from the two verses.
Before traveling, the pilgrim studies the order of action and its meaning with the instructor. A short article does not replace the training to perform all rituals on your own.
Hajj and death
Death is a small pilgrimage with its rituals. In practical teaching, it is distinguished from the hajj: the umrah does not replace the obligatory hajj. Hajj is performed on certain days of the month of Zul-Hij, while The death can be performed at other times. The details of the terms and conditions are subject to the fiqh.
