The Importance of Learning the Rulings of Hajj Before Performing It

Question:
Perhaps there is an important aspect here. May Allah reward you. Please speak about the importance of learning what is obligatory for the pilgrim, and asking questions and seeking more knowledge regarding this great rite before the pilgrim undertakes it, and the effect of this on the validity of his Hajj?

Answer:
We mentioned this at the beginning in the first episode, and we said that whoever intends to perform Hajj or 'Umrah, it is obligatory for him to learn how to perform his rites in the prescribed manner. This is done by one of two things: the first is to read in the concise books that describe the actions of Hajj, what is prescribed for the pilgrim, and what is forbidden for him, so that he knows them before he enters into Hajj. The second is to ask the people of knowledge about whatever is difficult for him. Allah the Exalted said: Therefore, it is obligatory for whoever wants to perform Hajj or 'Umrah to learn their rulings.
Through these two things, in a concise manner, and whatever details are difficult for him, he asks the scholars about them, and his problem will be resolved, if Allah wills. The blame is only on the one who does not ask the scholars and does not learn. He is the one who is blamed, and he may not be excused for his violations. Yes.
