Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: What is obligatory for a person who wants to perform Hajj for the first time, and what do you advise him?
Answer: It is obligatory for a person who wants to perform Hajj, and is doing so for the first time, to perform Hajj in the prescribed manner, and to accompany people of good who help him in obeying Allah and show him the rituals of Hajj if he is ignorant of them. This is obligatory for the one who
performs Hajj for the first time, and for others it is obligatory to perform Hajj in the prescribed manner. However, the one who performs Hajj for the first time may not know some of the acts of Hajj, or most of them, so he needs someone to explain them to him. Therefore, he should choose from his companions those who are suitable for that.
