Reading Time: 3 minutesHaj
Haj is Fardh when a person is able to perform it. One upon whom Haj is Fardh and she does not perform the Haj; such a person has been given a severe warning in the Hadeeth. Rasool-e-Saadiq (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said that there is fear of such a person dying as a non-muslim.
We know that the value of the jewellery you have is not so much that makes Haj Fardh upon you.
Besides expenses and provisions for the journey, it is also stipulated for a woman to have a mahram or husband, as you have learnt in the kitaabs.
When Allah Ta’ala gives you the means by which Haj becomes fardh, then you should carry out the Haj without hesitation and apathy.
(There is immense thawaab in Haj. It comes in the Hadeeth Shareef that whoever makes Haj and abstains from shameless and sinful acts in it, such a person becomes purified of sins as if being a new-born baby.)
[Note: Some senior Ulama are of the opinion that in these times due to the appalling state of intermingling in the Haram Shareef in which a woman is brushed, groped and pressed by men, it is not waajib for her to go for Haj. If the conditions become better in the future, then she should go. Otherwise, she should make wasiyyat before she passes away. Wallahu A’lam – Khairun Nisa]
(There are numerous Masaail of Haj. Some are Fardh, some Waajib, some Sunnah, and some are Mustahab. Here, there is no scope to mention all of them. Only the Fardh Rites shall be mentioned which are three. They are: Ihraam, Wuqoof in Arafah and Tawaaf-e-Ziyaarat.
From these, Ihraam is a precondition, whilst Wuqoof in Arafah and Tawaaf-e-Ziyaarat are constituents (Arkaan). If any of these three are left out, then the Haj will not be done.
If Wuqoof in Arafah is left out, then there is no solution other than making Haj over again. However, in the case of Tawaaf-e-Ziyaarat being left out then making amends is possible.
If a Waajib is left out then although the Haj will be done, it becomes necessary to slaughter an animal which is permissible for Qurbaani, such as a cow, goat, or camel.
In the Masaail of Haj it is also worthy of remembering that [the Fardh Time of] Wuqoof in Arafah is the night which follows the Day of Arafah, not the preceding night. If anyone stayed in Arafah at any time from after sunset on the Day of Arafah till Subh Saadiq of the next day [the 10th of Zil Hijjah], his Haj will be done. This is unlike of all other days where the ruling expires when the sun sets on that day.)
