The ruling on prioritizing fasting over Hajj in the pillars of Islam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, as the questioner says, there are hadiths explaining the pillars of Islam, in some of which fasting is mentioned before Hajj and in others Hajj is mentioned before fasting. Is there a difference in the order of precedence?
Answer:
There is no difference. There is no doubt that the pillars of Islam are the two testimonies, for they are the foundation, and the prayer, for it is the pillar of Islam, and the one who abandons it is a disbeliever, and zakah, for it is the companion of the prayer in the Book of Allah the Exalted, then fasting, then Hajj, as it came in the hadith of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) in the question of Jibril to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the other hadiths return to this hadith.
