Summary
Performing Hajj for the sake of Allah means completing it fully in outward form, by fulfilling its rulings and pillars properly, and inwardly with sincerity to Allah SWT. It is not done to earn income through trade or to seek praise and renown. Trading remains permissible if done sincerely, but the true purpose of going to Mecca must not be trade. This explanation follows al-Maraghi's interpretation of Surah al-Baqarah, verse 196.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pada dasarnya, semua amalan hendaklah dilakukan kerana Allah. Tetapi, di dalam ayat ini dikhususkan kepada ibadat haji dan umrah.
