Question |
What do respected scholars and Muftis of Islam say about the following issue? What is the definition of Hajj Akbar? |
بِسْمِ اللہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ |
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ
الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ |
Islamic jurists
have different opinions about Hajj–e-Akbar. The famous opinion is that the
day when the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ
وَسَلَّم performed Hajj is called
Hajj-e-Akbar. It was a Friday when that Hajj was performed. Therefore,
rekindling the memory of the Hajj performed by the Beloved and Blessed
Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ
وَسَلَّم, the Muslims call the Hajj that takes
place on Friday, Hajj -e-Akbar. |
وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ وَرَسُوْلُہ اَعْلَم صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم |
