- Abstract
The Hajj pilgrimage is a disciplined, dynamic, and multifaceted act of worship, meticulously observed by distinguished representatives of the Islamic world, with precise rules and program. The importance of health, travel, food, accommodation, transportation, and security during Hajj is as significant as maximizing the spiritual benefits, strengthening Islamic brotherhood, and enhancing the awareness of being part of the Ummah. Informing and educating pilgrims with knowledge-rich programs before and during Hajj is also crucial. While performing this exceptional worship in the desired and prescribed manner is the fundamental aspiration, this can sometimes be complicated by harsh climatic conditions, health issues, and transportation problems. When the principles and guidelines in Hajj fatwas conflict with reality, updating these fatwas becomes a topic of discussion. In the practice of Hajj, two hadiths are often mentioned. One emphasizes the importance of performing Hajj in accordance with established rules, as stated in the phrase "Learn your Hajj rites from me." The other, particularly during the Farewell Pilgrimage in Mina, where Prophet Muhammad answered many questions with "Laharaj/N o harm," signifies the aspect of ease and facilitation. Utilizing the scholarly concessions provided in Hajj is sometimes not just 'necessary' but 'essential.' The hadith, "Allah loves the observance of His permissions as much as His commands," indicates that fulfilling religious permissions in accordance with religious measures is also pleasing to Allah. There is no harm in elderly, disabled, sick, exhausted, or legitimately excused pilgrims availing themselves of these concessions and fulfilling the minimum requirements of Hajj. However, variations in practice should be considered for those who are of able age and health. This article evaluates the views on concessions and obligations in the context of contemporary practices in Arafat, Muzdalifah, and Mina, where the most intense duties of Hajj are performed, and explores practical solutions.
