Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
How does the pilgrim make Hajj a school for exiting some religious innovations and some beliefs, and return to the correct Prophetic Sunnah?
Answer:
Yes, if he performs the rites of Hajj in accordance with what Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) has legislated, he learns from it tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and the correct creed, because in the stations of Hajj he does not call upon anyone but Allah; he responds, "Labbaik Allahumma Labbaik" (Here I am, O Allah, here I am), and he does not respond to anyone but Allah, and he says "Bismillah" (In the name of Allah). So he learns tawhid through the rites of Hajj and through the places of the rites of Hajj, which are the stations. He returns after Hajj having learned his creed and his religion, and he returns calling people to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). This is among the benefits of Hajj; indeed, it is the greatest of the benefits of Hajj: that he learns from Hajj his creed, he learns his religion, he learns how to deal with people, how to take and give, and how to proceed in this life in the light of Allah and with clear proof. So Hajj is undoubtedly a great school for tawhid and sincerity to Allah, and for patience and seeking reward. And it is a type of jihad in the path of Allah. Yes.
