Guidance for those who deviate from the methodology of Hajj by raising slogans

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, Shaykh Salih, those who want to take Hajj away from its methodology, which is tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and the talbiyah (the pilgrim's chant of response), may raise phrases or slogans that are not essential or are political. What do we say to them (may Allah preserve you)?

Answer:
We say that this is from the matters of the jahiliyyah (the pre-Islamic age of ignorance), for they used to make Hajj a venue for boasting about their tribes, their leaders, and their deeds in the jahiliyyah. Allah (Mighty and Majestic) made Hajj a pure act of worship, into which none of these matters enter. He purified Hajj and the place of Hajj from all the deeds of the jahiliyyah. This is from the favor of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) upon this blessed state, upon the people of this land, and upon Muslims in general. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
