Summary
The 1441H/2020 Hajj was postponed because of the Covid-19 outbreak, and pilgrims already offered a place receive priority in the 1442H/2021 rotation. The postponement rests on the unmet condition of capability (istito'ah), Hajj being a obligation with a wide time window, and juristic maxims on removing harm. Activities at mosques and suraus and the Eidul Adha sacrifice during 1441H and the three Tasyrik days are allowed subject to guidelines and approval from the relevant authorities, with implementation left to each state's religious authority.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pelaksanaan Ibadah Haji pada tahun 1441 Hijrah/ 2020 Masihi ditangguhkan berikutan penularan wabak COVID-19.
