Jurisprudence of Hajj
Overview
All definitions are for Allah, the Most Knowledgeable, who created the human species in the best form and endowed them with the ability to acquire knowledge. Blessings and peace be upon Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), who was sent as a guide and mercy to all of humanity.
The Quran summarizes the purpose of our creation in Surah Adh-Dhariyat, verse 56:
“And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.”
The Quran not only defines the purpose of our existence but also provides guidance on how to worship Allah correctly. It states:
“Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered prophet, whom they find written in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel, who enjoins upon them what is right and forbids them what is wrong and makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the evil and relieves them of their burden and the shackles which were upon them. So they who have believed in him, honored him, supported him, and followed the light which was sent down with him—it is those who will be the successful.”
(Quran 7:157)
In this verse, the conditions for worshiping Allah are outlined, including acquiring knowledge of the Creator and His Messenger and understanding the correct ways of worship. This is why Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) made it obligatory for every Muslim to seek essential religious knowledge. Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
“Acquiring knowledge is obligatory upon every Muslim.” (Ibn Majah)
About This Course:
This course is designed for every Muslim who seeks a detailed understanding of Hajj and its rulings but may lack comprehensive knowledge of its finer details. Since no act of worship is accepted by Allah unless it fulfills two essential conditions—sincerity in intention and adherence to Islamic law—this course aims to provide clarity on both. Worship must be purely for Allah, and obedience should be in accordance with the teachings and practices of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
In this course, students will study Fiqh al-Hajj in detail based on the Quran and Sunnah. Some of the key topics covered include the virtues of Hajj, its obligations, types of Hajj, conditions and timings, the rituals of Hajj and Umrah, Ihram and its regulations, fidya and kaffarah, and various issues that may arise during Hajj and Umrah.
The primary goal of this course is to develop a strong understanding of Hajj-related jurisprudence so that students can apply their knowledge to real-life situations, navigate new issues as they arise, and fulfill this great act of worship in accordance with the correct Islamic guidelines.
