The reason some pilgrims rush through the rites

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh Salih, these questions that always reach us, Honorable Shaykh, some people rush in this obligatory duty as if they are on hot coals. How do we interpret this and what is its cause, Honorable Shaykh?

Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:
And complete the Hajj and 'umrah for Allahوَأَتِمُّوا الْحَجَّ وَالْعُمْرَةَ لِلَّهِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:196]
Since he is negligent in the rites of Hajj and haste takes hold of him, and haste is from Shaytan. He came from far away, spent money, and toiled, then Shaytan plays with his Hajj and wastes the rest of it. This is from Shaytan’s manipulation, from ignorance, and from negligence. So the Muslim, when he performs Hajj, should complete his rites in the required manner, and he is in a good state.
A single prayer in the Haram, meaning inside the Haram, is worth a hundred thousand prayers. A prayer in Mina, in Makkah, inside the Haram, every prayer is worth a hundred thousand prayers. So why does he squander this great reward, rush, and waste his Hajj? Is it not because this is Satan’s manipulation of the children of Adam, and because of some people imitating others in this matter? Yes.

May Allah reward you,
