Fiqh al-Hajj

Fiqh al-Hajj is the Islamic understanding and rules governing the pilgrimage to Mecca, known as Hajj. It outlines the specific rites Muslims perform, such as entering Ihram (sacred state), Tawaf (circling the Kaaba), Sa’i (walking between Safa and Marwah), standing at Arafat, and performing the symbolic acts representing submission and unity. These rites are performed during specific days and follow prescribed methods to ensure the pilgrimage is valid. Fiqh al-Hajj guides Muslims on how to complete their rituals properly, balancing religious obligations with practical considerations, and helps maintain the spiritual significance and orderliness of this important act of worship.
