What is Hajj?

[d.sasa]

Hajj means travelling for the purpose of visiting the Ka’bah, the

sacred House of Allaah, to perform the rites (manaasik), i.e., the

actions and words reported in accounts of the Prophet’s Hajj, such

as Tawaaf or walking around the Ka’bah seven times, al-Saa’ee or

running between the hills of Safaa’ and Marwa seven times,

standing at ‘Arafaah, stoning the Jamaraat (stone pillars

representing the Shaytaan) at Mina, etc. Hajj brings immense

benefits to people, as they declare the Unity (Tawheed) of Allaah,

there is forgiveness for the pilgrims, Muslims get to know one

another and learn the rules of their religion, and so on. We greatly

appreciate your interest in asking about Hajj even though you are

so young and live so far away in Canada. We ask Allaah to enable

you to go for Hajj and do all its rites. May Allaah bless our Prophet

Muhammad
