The Ultimate Bailout Plan ﻓﻘﻪ ﺍﻟﺤ Fiqh of Hajj

Definition of Hajj • Linguistic – to intend to travel to a place of great honor • Islamic - to intend to travel to the House of Allah and perform specific rites and rituals during specified times at specified places

Manasik • Manasik which is the plural of ‘mansak’ or ‘mansik’ which means ‘worship’ or time or place of worship. It can also mean sacrifice of animals or the place or time animals are sacrificed. • In Shariah, it refers to the rites and rituals of Hajj.

When was Hajj obligated? • 11 opinions have been stated out of which: – 2 are weak: before Hijrah and 10 th year of Hijrah – 2 opinions are well-known and accepted: 6 th year and 9 th year of Hijrah • Ayni has stated opinions varying from the 5 th year of Hijrah all the way to the 10 th , without giving preference to any. • Qastalani states that the opinion of the majority is that it was mandated in the 6 th year because that is when the verse; “. . . ”ﻭ ﺃﺘﻤﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺤﺞ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﻤﺮﺓ ﻟﻠﻪ was revealed. This is also the opinion of Hafidh Ibn Hajar in Fathul-Bari. • Shami has resolved that it was the 9 th year of Hijrah, and this is also the opinion of Ibn Qayyim, Qadhi Ayadh, Qurtubi, etc.

History of the Hajj • In the 9 th year after Hijrah the Prophet (pbuh) deputed Abu Bakr (ra) to lead the believers in Hajj • Ali (ra) was sent to make proclamations about purifying the Haram • This served as a preparation for the great and farewell pilgrimage. • In 10 A. H. the Prophet (pbuh) performed Hajj, in what is called Hajjatul-Wida’

Why did the Messenger of Allah delay the Hajj till the 10 th year of Hijrah? • Makkah under non-Muslim control • Nasi – distortion of lunar calendar by the Arabs • Presence of Mushrikoon and their corrupt practices • Not obligated till after Hajj in 9 th year

Hajj is Obligatory with the Following Conditions • • • Muslim Free Sound state of mind Adult Healthy Possession of extra wealth that suffices for transportation, provisions, and maintenance of one’s family or other financial obligations till return • Women require a Mahram

Hajj mandatory immediately or with delay? • Imam Abu Hanifah, Ahmad, Malik, and Abu Yusuf: Immediately, otherwise one will be sinful. They use the Hadith: ( ﻣﻦ ﺃﺮﺍﺩ ﺍﻟﺤﺞ ﻓﻠﻴﺘﻌﺠﻞ Abu Dawud) • Imam Shafi and Imam Muhammad: With delay as long as it is not neglected totally, therefore one will not be sinful by delaying it. But if he dies before performing it, he will be sinful. Their evidence is the fact that the Messenger of Allah salla Allah alaihi wa sallam delayed it till the 10 th year of Hijrah.
