The Temporal Boundaries of Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He also asks in the second paragraph when the temporal boundaries of Hajj begin? And what does "temporal" mean? In the paragraph that follows, he asks: What is the ruling on entering the state of ihram for Hajj before entering these boundaries?
Answer:
Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:197] These months are Shawwal, Dhu al-Qi'dah, and ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah. All of these are the time for entering the state of ihram for Hajj. Whenever one enters the state of ihram for Hajj at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end of them, his ihram is valid. This is the meaning of the temporal boundaries, namely the months in which it is prescribed to enter the state of ihram for Hajj, and one does not enter the state of ihram for Hajj before them. For example, one does not enter the state of ihram for Hajj in Ramadan. One does not enter the state of ihram for Hajj before the months of Hajj begin, due to the apparent meaning of the verse: "Hajj is well-known months." Yes. May Allah reward you with good and bless you.

الْحَجُّ أَشْهُرٌ مَّعْلُومَاتٌ
