Hajj

Indeed, Safa and Marwah are among Allah’s sacred symbols. Whoever performs pilgrimage or minor pilgrimage, there is no blame in walking between them.

They ask you about the new moons. Say, 'They mark time for people and for pilgrimage.'

Indeed, the first house of worship established for humanity was in Mecca, a blessed place and a guidance for all people.

In it are clear signs, including the station of Abraham. Whoever enters it is safe. Pilgrimage to the House is a duty upon those who can afford the journey. But whoever refuses, Allah is beyond the need of all creation.

Complete the pilgrimage and minor pilgrimage for Allah. But if you are prevented, then offer a sacrifice as you can. Do not shave your heads until the sacrifice reaches its place. If you are ill or have an ailment of the scalp, then compensate with fasting, charity, or sacrifice. When you are safe, perform the pilgrimage, and if you cannot, then fast for three days during the pilgrimage and seven when you return, making ten in total. This applies to those whose families do not reside near the Sacred Mosque.

Pilgrimage takes place in appointed months. Whoever undertakes it must avoid sexual intercourse, wrongdoing, and disputes. Whatever good you do, Allah knows it. Take provisions, but the best provision is righteousness.

There is no blame in seeking the bounty of your Lord during pilgrimage. When you leave Arafat, remember Allah near the sacred site. Remember Him as He has guided you, for before this, you were astray.

Then move on from where the people move on, and seek Allah’s forgiveness.

When you have completed your sacred rites, remember Allah as you once remembered your forefathers, rather, remember Him even more.

And proclaim the pilgrimage to humanity, they will come to you on foot and on every lean mount, traveling distant paths

So, they may witness benefits for themselves and mention Allah’s name over the livestock He provided for them. So, eat from them and feed the needy and the poor.

Then let them complete their rites, fulfil their vows, and circle the Ancient House.
