Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What are the best books written on the topic of Hajj? The books written on...

Answer:
The rulings of Hajj are numerous. Very numerous, praise be to Allah. Some of them are a chapter or a book in the works of jurisprudence or in the books of hadith; every book of jurisprudence or hadith contains a book on Hajj, mentioning the rulings of Hajj and the hadiths of Hajj. There are also independent works, some of which are extensive, such as al-Qa'idi's book *Al-Qasid ila Am al-Quray* by al-Tabari. It is a good book of hadith; then it mentions the jurisprudence of the hadith and the disagreement on some issues, and it is a very beneficial book. And like the book of Shaykh Ibn Jasi, may Allah have mercy on him. The well-known judge has a book consisting of two volumes, two large volumes, in which he has gathered a great deal of the rulings of Hajj, the details of the rulings of Hajj, and the jurisprudential aspects of Hajj, along with their study, comparison, and preference of the stronger opinion. It is truly a good book; it is a good book.
Also, there is a book by al-Nawawi on the topic of Hajj, which is also a large book, and there is a marginal note (hashiyah) on it by Ibn Hajar al-Haytami. It is a good book on this topic. These are the extensive works; this is what I know of the extensive works. There are not many extensive works, and there are concise ones. The best of them is the *Manasik* of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah.
It is a good, beneficial concise work, with a verification (tahqiq) that you do not find in others: the *Manasik* of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah. And similar to it is the verification and clarification by Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn Baz, may Allah have mercy on him. It is a good and beneficial book, supported by evidence. All of these, praise be to Allah, are good and beneficial books, and there are many books on the rituals of Hajj. Yes.
