The Impact of Studying the Rulings of Pilgrimage on the Performance of Hajj and 'Umrah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner asks: What is the impact of studying the rulings of the rites of pilgrimage, especially since everyone is heading toward a great season, the season of Hajj and 'Umrah? What is the impact of studying these rites and their effect on performing 'Umrah and Hajj? May Allah reward you.

Answer:
Yes, a person must perform worship in the manner prescribed by Allah the Exalted, not according to customs, guesses, or personal preferences, but in the manner prescribed by Allah the Mighty and Majestic for His servants, including Hajj. Indeed, Allah clarified the rites and explained them through the tongue of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). He summarized them in the Qur'an, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) detailed them through his actions. He (peace and blessings be upon him) performed Hajj with the Muslims in the Farewell Pilgrimage,
And He said: "Take from me your rites."وقال لتأخذوا عني مناسككم
meaning so that you may learn from me how to perform the rites of Hajj and 'Umrah.
So Allah clarified and explained them in the Book and the Sunnah. The scholars took these rulings from the Book and the Sunnah and recorded them in general books of jurisprudence and in specific books on the rites of Hajj and 'Umrah. So the matters are clarified and clear, praise be to Allah. Therefore, if a Muslim wants to perform Hajj, he should study the rulings of these rites and how to perform them so that he performs them with knowledge. This is easy, praise be to Allah, by reading reliable books, asking the people of knowledge about what is difficult, and following the practice of Muslims in these rites. Yes?

May Allah reward you,
