HAHI DEFJNITI SERIES
We end this series of Bayan li al Hajj with the following supplication: We hope that all of our worship and good deeds are accepted by Allah SWT and we pray that for those who are performing hajj to be granted a mabrur hajj and their hajj is accepted.Īmong the signs that the hajj performed is mabrur is that when they returned, he become humble and zuhud in the worldly matters and race in doing good deeds and worships for the hereafter. Hopefully, our short explanation regarding hajj and umrah will add some of the readers’ and future pilgrims’ knowledge regarding this matter. While, for umrah, there are only four requisites which are ihram, tawaf, saie and tahallul. The requisites for hajj is five ihram, wuquf in Arafah, tawaf, saie and tahallul.While, for umrah, all of these is absent. For hajj, there is wuquf on the 9 th Zulhijjah, staying overnight in Muzdalifah and Mina and throwing of jamrah.Hajj is an obligation for every Muslim individual, while umrah is sunnah for those who are capable (according to some scholars).
While umrah can be performed anytime throughout the year. Hajj is only performed in the month of hajj, which starts from 1 st Syawal until the sun rises on the 10 th of Zulhijjah.The following are the simplified differences of hajj and umrah:
(Refer al-Mausu'ah al-Fiqhiyyah, 30/ 315) This is the authentic opinion from madhab Imam al-Syafie, however, some scholars such as Imam Malik and Imam Abu Hanifah said that it is sunnah muakkadah to perform the first umrah. “And complete the Hajj and 'umrah for Allah.” Some scholars hold the opinion that it is obligatory for someone to perform umrah if he has never performed it and he is capable to do so. Umrah literally means a visit, while the majority of scholars have agreed that it means tawaf in baitullah and saie between safa and marwah when one is in the state of ihram. Whereas for the meaning of umrah, it is as the following: “Hajj is well-known months, so whoever has made Hajj obligatory upon himself therein, there is no sexual relations and no disobedience and no disputing during Hajj.” Imam Ibnu Kathir Rahimahullah said: “As for istato’ah (capability) it is the capability of someone in terms of performing hajj for himself and others.” (Refer Tafsir al-Quran al-Azim, 1/364) (Refer Al-Muhalla, Ibn Hazm 7/54 and Subul al-Salam, Al-Son’aani 2/180) For it is already known that Allah SWT will not burden someone of things that he is incapable of performing. Istito’ah (capability) meant in the above verse is not solely physical capability. “And to Allah from the people is a pilgrimage to the House - for whoever is able to find thereto a way.” Hajj is one of the pillars of Islam and an obligation for each Muslim, whether a man or a woman who are capable, where it is obligatory only once in a lifetime and if someone performs it more than once, then, the rest is considered as sunnah.Īmong the evidence of the sanctioning of hajj is as mentioned in the Quran: (Refer al-Mausu’ah al-Fiqhiyyah, 17 / 23) While the term is used for a pilgrimage to Baitullah (Kaaba) in certain times (the month of hajj, Zulhijjah) and perform the obligatory acts of worships of hajj. Hajj literally means pilgrimage or travel to a certain place. Blessings and salutations to the Prophet Muhammad PBUH, his wives, his family, companions and all those that follow his teachings to the day of judgement.Īccording to the above question, the meaning of hajj and umrah are: What is the meaning of hajj and umrah what differentiates them?Īlhamdulillah, praise and thanks to Allah for the countless blessings He has blessed us all with.
