Understanding the Rulings of Hajj Before Departure and Asking About Mistakes

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The brother Abu Khalid says: Some people, Honorable Shaykh, go to perform Hajj without learning its rulings, and as a result they commit some mistakes. Then, after returning, they ask the scholars about the mistakes they made.

Answer:
Yes. It is recommended for anyone who wants to perform Hajj and 'Umrah to read about the rituals of Hajj and 'Umrah and how to perform them. This is easy, praise be to Allah. There are concise and simplified questions and answers available. Whatever is difficult for him, he should ask the scholars about it. He should ask before he begins Hajj and 'Umrah: What should he do? How is Hajj performed? How is 'Umrah performed?
He should ask about that. As for delaying the question about the mistakes he made until he returns, that is a mistake. It is obligatory for him to ask immediately. If he makes a mistake, he should ask immediately. The scholars are present, praise be to Allah, at the sacred sites and in Makkah. So he should hasten to ask.
