The virtue of hastening in Hajj and the conditions of a blessed Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Sulayman, Honorable Shaykh, what is the best way to perform Hajj? I am intending, if Allah wills, to perform Hajj this year. Should I hasten or delay? And how does one make the Hajj blessed?
Answer:
It is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did, because it is more complete in the acts of Hajj, and because it is also easier for the pilgrims in this time and the time of the first day; it is easier for the pilgrims. There is no doubt that delaying is permissible, as is hastening,[Al-Baqarah 2:203]. This is regarding hastening in Hajj. It was said in the question: How does one make the Hajj blessed? It is blessed if Allah accepts it, and that is by making the intention sincere for Allah in it, and by performing it in the manner in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did it. His saying (peace and blessings be upon him): "Take from me your rituals, for let no innovation or deviation occur in them." Rather, perform it as it is established from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), according to his obedience and his ability. This is the blessed Hajj in which two things are gathered: following the Messenger and completing the rituals, as Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Baqarah 2:196]. Yes.

whoever hastens [his departure] in two days - there is no sin upon him; and whoever delays [until the third] - there is no sin upon him
تَعَجَّلَ فِي يَوْمَيْنِ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ وَمَن تَأَخَّرَ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِAnd complete the Hajj and 'umrah for Allah
