Summary
This Bayan Linnas states that Hajj is a pillar of Islam, obligatory once in a lifetime for every capable adult Muslim. A mabrur Hajj is described as one whose rulings are fulfilled completely, and pilgrims are urged to prepare with clear understanding, righteous deeds and freedom from shirk. Soul purification (tazkiyah al-nufus) is linked to fulfilling obligations, regular sunnah prayers, remembrance, seeking forgiveness, attending knowledge gatherings and self-reflection. Saka is defined as a spirit from the jinn or devils that is kept to protect oneself and property, yet can be used to harm others.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Haji merupakan salah satu dari rukun Islam dan menjadi kewajipan kepada seluruh umat Islam lelaki mahupun wanita bagi yang berkemampuan untuk melaksanakannya dan melaksanakannya adalah wajib sekali seumur hidup.
