Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Some groups say they hold lessons and lectures during Hajj, so what is the ruling on that?
The Shaykh:
That is good. Holding lessons and lectures and teaching people is a good thing. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
They make these lessons and lectures about expanding beyond the Shari'ah. They tell them, "Do it, there is no harm." Whatever you do, there is no harm. They grant people dispensations. They open for them the doors of dispensations that have no evidence. This is not permissible. They teach them the Hajj of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and how to do it according to the Sunnah. Yes. They teach them the creed, tawhid (the oneness of Allah). This is a good thing. Yes.
