What is Hajj
“And complete the Hajj and Umrah for Allah.”
(Surah Al-Baqarah 2:196)
Hajj (حَجّ) is an Arabic word which means ‘Aim’ or ‘Destination’ or ‘Purpose’. Hajj is the ultimate journey to the House of Allah (Kaaba).
Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam. Hajj is a duty on every adult, sane, free Muslim who is capable of performing it once in a lifetime. A capable person is the one who can afford the trip both financially and health-wise.
This obligation of Hajj is also evident from the following Hadith:
‘Prophet (S.A.W.) addressed his companions and said: “O people, Allah has made Hajj obligatory for you; so perform Hajj.”’
(Sahih Muslim: 1337)
Hajj rituals are performed between the 8th and 13th day of the month of Dhul Hijjah.
