Books and References for Understanding the Rulings of the Rites of Pilgrimage
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks: What books do you recommend for understanding the rulings of the rites of pilgrimage?
Answer:
First, the Book of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), which is the great Qur'an, for Allah has clarified the rulings of the rites of pilgrimage in it. Second, the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), for it explains the Qur'an, interprets the Qur'an, and points to it.
Third, what the Muslims have been practicing from the time of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) until the end of the world. So, praise be to Allah, matters are made easy and clarified. The Muslim only needs to accept them to receive from Allah (Mighty and Majestic) what He has promised His servants who seek forgiveness, repent, and worship Allah (Mighty and Majestic). May Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) accept his work if it possesses two characteristics: work is not accepted except with two conditions: sincerity to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and following the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
He, the Exalted and Majestic, said:[Al-Baqarah 2:112]. [Al-Baqarah 2:112] He submitted his face to Allah; this is sincerity, and he is one who does good, meaning he follows the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). So sincerity is incompatible with showing off, seeking fame, and shirk (associating partners with Allah).
And following the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is incompatible with bid'ah (religious innovations) and newly invented matters, as[Yusuf 12:40]. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 1718b meaning it is rejected from him. And in another hadith: Sahih Muslim 1718a meaning it is rejected from him. So, Allah does not accept from deeds except what is pure for Allah and correct according to the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.

He, the Exalted and Majestic, said:
Yes [on the contrary], whoever submits his face in Islam to Allah
بَلَىٰ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ وَجْهَهُ لِلَّهِwhile being a doer of good will have his reward with his Lord. And no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve.
وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌ فَلَهُ أَجْرُهُ عِندَ رَبِّهِ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَAnd following the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is incompatible with bid'ah (religious innovations) and newly invented matters, as
for which Allah has sent down no authority
مَّا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَانٍHe who did any act for which there is no sanction from our behalf, that is to be rejected.
من عمل عملا ليس عليه أمرنا فهو رد'A'isha reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: He who innovates things in our affairs for which there is no valid (reason) (commits sin) and these are to be rejected.
