- Guide · Hajj and Umrah RitesDefinition of Hajj, Its Ruling, and the Wisdom Behind Its LegislationIn Arabic, hajj means to intend or set out for something. In Islamic law, it means going to Makkah and the sacred sites to perform particular rites at a prescribed time. The source states that Hajj is an immediate obligation once in a lifetime for a person who meets its conditions and has no impediment; delaying it after the first year in which one is able to perform it is sinful. It cites the Qur’an, the Sunnah, and scholarly consensus as evidence for its obligation.
- Guide · Hajj and Umrah RitesTravel and Its EtiquetteThe source defines travel as covering a distance and gives the commonly cited measure as approximately eighty kilometres (sixteen farsakhs), or a two-day journey at a moderate pace. It notes that the ruling on travel follows its purpose: travel for an obligatory act, such as obligatory Hajj, is obligatory; for a recommended act, such as a voluntary ‘Umrah, it is recommended; for a permissible purpose, it is permissible; for a disliked purpose, disliked; and for a forbidden purpose, forbidden. It also cites the hadith prohibiting a woman from travelling for a day and a night without a mahram.
- Guide · Hajj and Umrah RitesConditions of HajjThe source states that Hajj has five conditions: Islam, sound reason, reaching puberty, freedom, and capability (istita‘ah). It explains that Hajj is not obligatory as a performance from a non-Muslim and would not be valid from him, that the insane and the child are not obligated, and it cites the hadith that the pen is lifted from the sleeper until waking, the child until puberty, and the insane person until regaining reason.
