Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: In some narrations of the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "Islam is built on five," Hajj is mentioned before fasting. What is the correct version, and what is the explanation for this?
Answer:
We return to the order in the authentic hadith, the hadith of 'Umar and others, and we adhere to it. This is a case of the narrator advancing or delaying the order, and Allah knows best.
